Catskills Folk Connection is a collaboration of several Delaware County Arts, Education and Community Based Organizations that are interested in keeping the local traditions and history alive. Emerging from research done by Catskills Folk Connection for its current project, Hilton Kelly: Catskills Fiddling Tradition, is the need to do more to ensure the survival, not only of fiddling styles and tunes, but also the dance forms that go with it. The 2008 CFC project is honoring Hilton Kelly, 83 year old traditional fiddler and singing square dance caller. |

This NYC group defines the latin alt-folklorico genre. Drawing from the traditional styles of Mexican music and fusing it with a pop-rock sensibility,
"Stand back, shoegazers and head-bobbers: Pistolera is taking the famously apolitical indie-rock scene by storm. The Brooklyn-based, four-piece rock band puts on a show that feels like an outdoor Latin music festival smack dab in the middle of a heated immigration rally". |
