Comunità Odinista was started in 1994 as an Odinist/Asatru association for Cisalpine people worldwide. The above flag is the flag of the Langbard Kingdom, and yes... it really did have a flaming red odal rune in the center; however, the inner shield was greyish brown instead of white with more of an shadowed outline of a black eagle. I exchanged emails a few years ago with a woman who was a member of the CO in Rosario, Argentina. I recall that there was a small CO group in Florida I believe. I recall some years ago briefly exchanging some messages with a Spanish Asutrar group called something like "Teutonica Alianza." I'm personally not an Asutrar, but there has been an upsurge of Euro-folk-related groups in recent years, based on the pre-Christian traditions. As far as those either related or intrinsically Cisalpine in origin, would include Asatru, the Roman and Etruscan pantheons, Gaulish polytheism, Druidism, Proto-European witchcraft, Stregheria and other magickal traditions.
There has also been a spike in recent years of "identity" music--often heavy metal or hard rock, but other forms as well--from all over the world, such as Celtic or Viking metal. In one of the recent posts, I put an example of an Etruscan-themed band. "Neoclassical darkwave" is one example of one of the many other sub-genres. There's even Catholic-themed darkwave--as I recall one such impressive band from Sardinia--and more than I can remember without committing myself to making a long list. The point is that it's not just loud "Viking metal" or "Wiccan chants"; there could be something for a lot of people to look into.
Sometimes there can be inaccurate perceptions, such as perhaps "Celtic metal" must be from Ireland; the greater Celtic cultures were from Ireland to Poland, and from Portugal to the south Balkans. One of the best Celtic metal bands that I've heard is a band from Spain called the Crystalmoors. Many of these bands--from Germany, Russia, Italy, Argentina, etc--the names escape me off-hand. I have seen where they have toured all over the U.S. It's not really "traditional music" as such, but more like any popular type of music with a particular "identity theme."
