OK a bit of an anecdote here (I need to get this off my chest): I put emphasis on Chinese because I realised at random one day that while I know a fair handful of folk songs from the UK I didn't know any Chinese folk songs.

So I'm ethnically Chinese and grew up in a Cantonese speaking community, so I keep getting told that I should know a few Chinese songs and there is no excuse even if English is my first language.

Then it got to a point where everyone would say "oh I know this song!" And I'd just look lost whenever someone played a tradition song at school assemblies. So yeah, it would be nice to know a bit more about songs in other parts of the world. Does anyone know a good site to start?
