So does folk music fun!

Why is there no German folk rock? Every other country has a folk music, which is not only across generations, but also about the state borders popular. How would you celebrate with the Irish (again soon Halloween), Russian and Israeli folk songs go in the legs, traditional Italian music makes you sad - and in Germany is geschunkelt in leather pants or blue and white striped lisped to shanties. For the young people there Stefanie Hertel and Stefan Mross, for the elderly and the rest remains only Moik Kalkofe.
It would be so nice if traditional music would be played from the German-speaking world simply times reasonable. The melodies and lyrics you could just keep (which would be in the neighboring village anyway no longer understand), nurdie music and Darbringungsweise change. As the Austrian Hubert von Goisern makes for years. With the Alpinkatzen he very well gefolkrockt, always had also inconvenient texts and is still at "Wetten, dass ...?" occurred. Solo, he travels to Tibet or Africa, but remains sometimes at home and released CDs with alpine folk songs that you do not even would get just heard on Caroline Reiber - this they were too controversial. He plays the accordion, and yodeling used for the North German rather unbearable alpine idiom, but to listen, this is fun. One just hears how much fun even makes him scream filthy stuff and bring the listener almost dry in jolly mood.
And in the north? Torfrock comes something like folk rock quite close, at least in the first four albums (until the early '80s), and in principle, the medieval music is indeed a kind of folk music. So: a Hefeweizen, then a horn full of mead, but then again Guinness.
