Hi everyone! I just created my Reddit account yesterday because I really wanted to ask this community something.

I'm from Colombian, and lately, I’ve been diving deep into indie folk and folk music (artists like Beirut, Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, etc.). I absolutely love the sound and the lyrics, but coming from a different culture, I always had the impression that folk music might be deeply tied to regional or patriotic roots in English-speaking countries.

Is it weird or "unexpected" for someone from Latin America to be a huge fan of this genre? How do you guys feel about people from other cultures embracing folk and indie folk? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!
