Need something different to perk you up, or maybe just annoy you? This music originated in Portugal or Spain in the late 1490s. The melody has been used by many composers over the years including the likes of Vivaldi, and Corelli. The name Folia means fool or madness typically. Most versions I've heard are mostly by early music groups using early instruments. This version is a tour de force of just about any obscure musical instrument or noise maker you can think of, including a power saw or lawn mower and what sounds like a car full of clowns, but the melody remains. It truly is crazy but recorded very well with stunning realism.
