I stumbled upon the Catalan/Valencian band L’Ham de Foc yesterday:

Most of their YouTube material is, like, good-sound indifferent-video: Husseyni Azeri (with Ross Daly), interviewed on OC-TV and Reportatge Rodasons 1 and Reportatge Rodasons 2 (with some good performance clips). Turns out that Amazon has all 3 albums in mp3-download format: U (their first), Cançó De Dona I Home, and Cor de Porc. I succumbed.
