Schmetterlinge was an Austrian ensemble that playfully blended European folk traditions with African musical influences, creating something refreshingly unpredictable. This 1971 7" on the Atom label showcases their eclectic approach, merging Austrian and broader European folk sensibilities with African rhythmic and melodic elements. The result is charming and inventive, with an infectious energy that feels both timeless and distinctly of its era. It's a wonderful artifact of 1970s musical openness and cross-cultural curiosity, when folk and world music could flow freely across genres and boundaries.
