I used to pass by a balalaika trio in Vienna (two balalaikas and an accordion), Russian guys playing for tips. I'd always stop, throw in 5 euros, and listen for 5 or 6 songs. They've apparently moved up in the world.

Indeed they have! Still playing outside, tho. The bass Balalaika is a crazy thing.They've apparently moved up in the world.
I give you my favorite band, the Red Elvises!

I love love love the Leningrad Cowboys. I think that in the old thread on "Covers that are better than the original," I nominated their version of Sweet Home Alabama.

Bill - Why you no wanna hear the mariachi girls?
A second time... This was the 1997 mobile data conference, back when 9600 baud was speedy and unified messaging was considered a good thing. I'd only been living in the US for 12 months and all I knew of mariachi was speedy gonsalves! two hours of them was enough. maybe another decade and I'll be able to listen to it again. Meanwhile lots of weird stuff to discover still. like this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaD_KtK204A. Sure Scott has loads of this but no idea how they do the vibrato (Ngawong lodup, ex tibetan monk)

Mass quantities, but I also have some massed bagpipe field recordings very difficult to capture properly.
My brother had a piper play amazing grace at my father's funeral as a parting shot.
Nice. My father adored bagpipes. He could sit and listen to Scottish pipe & drum corp stuff for hours.
I don't know if I have anything that is way-out eclectic. I have some various traditional ethic music, eg Chinese or Native American.
I have a couple of the Hawaiian slack-key guitar albums on the Dancing Cat label. I really like those a lot.

My wife's only comment about my record cleaner is that it scares our pet bunnies.. My reply is that the records shall be clean before playing unless she wants to pony up a large vet's bill worth of scratch to replace my SPU A95 prematurely.. lol
I am no match in the musical taste department for any of you guys...
I miss my bunnies, wonderful pets they were lived a full life and were big fans of Haydn & Bach but not Beethoven or Mahler.
Not so eclectic around here.I have a couple of the Hawaiian slack-key guitar albums on the Dancing Cat label. I really like those a lot.
