This stuff is not available in Israel at all but I picked up on Korpiklaani when they played here. I've heard of Finnetroll but don't have anything of theirs, just played a time or two on youtube. Some lighter stuff you might consider are Garmarna, Hedningarna and if want to get some real Abba type pop with a traditional folk base try Sarek. Also give Mari Boine a chance for something more traditional. I consider the godfather of these kinds of groups to be Steeleye Span, one of my favorite 70's groups.
