Folk magazine about the past and present, from freakfolk to minstrels. In today’s special Chinese folk-related music.
Today, as usual, we pay attention to recently released CDs, fresh demos and beautiful old material, plus a special brimming with Chinese folk-related music.
In the past year, China was quite in the limelight and not just because of the Olympic Games. Moreover, in 2008 Arjan van Sorge – composer of this Folk It! – renewed his acquaintance with the early forms of Chinese pop music and the likes, a musical genre not many people in the Netherlands have been able to listen to yet.
