RubberDucky. Folk songs seem to reflect an entire group or culture unlike modern songs which try to be as individual as possible. What this says about "art" I'm not sure.

Yeah, It's certainty a way to connect with ones ancestors. It's also arguably more interesting to play the songs of the past than to read about the past. The development of different instruments in each culture is also intriguing.

Actually, it is a rather complicated piece of music, IMO far superior to the formula-driven crap that most seem satisfied with for their musical "tastes"...

What are they miming? It seems to have included flying a kite and rowing.

I really like this song. I think it's because it comes across as very joyful.
