Folk music

Tsarfati Jewish folk songs (which are in Ăn Yidiș) are known as טאָנאן donăn (singular don; cognate to Irish dán 'poem'). have some traditional Hivantish and Irish elements but are unique as well (for example the use of the Locrian mode). Some folk music uses diminished[8] or augmented[9] or their subsets, however.
