The sun and the clouds are a wavy sea, and Foltin sails on...

Musicfilter: Help me find similar music to the sounds of this or that album. More heartwrenching info follows...

I've been going nuts over these 2 albums so much, so I need every classic/jazz/ethno audiophile to help out me on this. I've been scouring music rooms on IRC, Soulseek chat rooms, music forums, friends and random strangers but I still haven't found anything that sounds similar or as an influence to the sounds of these albums.

Bands that I've discovered while searching which I liked:
Flanger
Marc Ribot & Los Cubanos Postizos
New Klezmer Trio
Jimmy Giuffre
Triosk
Leon Redbone
Glover Gill & Tosca Tango Orchestra
Accordion Tribe
Dancas Ocultas
Sansévérino
Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band

I wanted to ask this question on askMefi for so long, but I always put it off since it seems like I am spamming everyone. I assure you, my Foltin fever is real...

The headline should've been "The SKY and the clouds are a wavy sea, and Foltin sails on..." :(

Have you tried seeding a Pandora radio station with the band?

It's impossible, since the band is too foreign, and they aren't in Pandora at all. Now you get what I'm saying.
