Yeah, actually I came here to reply "Ireland/Newfoundland". I like some Quebec/Bretagne stuff too, it's obviously similar.

Oh yeah I totally forgot about Latin America! . Love everything from Cuban music, samba, salsa, Andean music, Mexican mariachi bands.

I love Irish music and I don't have an ounce of Irish blood in me . . . at least, none that my mother confesses too . . . :^D

most of latin American music. So much diversity and mixings of three continent: Europe, Africa and Precolombian Americas... about half of the music I listen to is, for also personal reasons, south American folk.

German music.
There is a community of choirs in Stuttgart called "Fischer-Chöre", quite famous in Germany, with classical, pop and traditional german music, under the conductor Gotthilf Fischer. The full choir has more than 1000 singers. It's simply wonderful.

The Canadian Mounties song brought to mind this classic from MST3K

Mystery Science Theater 3000 Canada song - YouTube

Polka music remained very popular in the midwest until recently, even being played by the Michigan Tech Pep Band, as the national anthem of the Upper Peniusula:

In fact, in my younger days, I was a DJ at an all-polka radio station in Wisconsin. I think there is still an all-polka station there. Polka styling still heavily influences the popular music of Mexico, to where it was brought by cetnral European miners immigrating to the new world
