Maybe it's a little bit earlier for this but I have my contribution ready so, here it goes.

First and foremost, credit must be given to ETK for suggesting half of the title of the compilation. Thanks so much for defining, with just 2 words, the vibe of my eclectic mixes. I love the term and I will embrace it for my subsequent cds.
I have tried to make a similar mix to my 2013 effort but this time leaning more on music that, I hope, will be easier for ears not used to this kind of "folk". From the nearly 80 songs selected for this year's swap, all the field recordings, Middle Easter music, flamenco and many of the Greek ones weren't included to make the cds more accessible. Hope you like it.
