Folksong from a non-existing land is the long title of a record by Roland van Campenhout. The LP has only 7 tracks and is characterized by the dark unpolished voice of Roland. Probably formed when he saw his father drown in front of his eyes when he was 5 years old. This audiophile LP floats somewhere between pop, indie, blues and world music. Piece by piece unique compositions. It is not strange that this man also played with Richard Bargel. The last track is a 14-minute instrumental piece.
