Here is what is said to be Dutch folk mixed with prog rock. I do like the songs from this obscure Netherlands-based band known as Deirdre & it seems that they made 1 album & did nothing else.:
Would Cheesypizza2000 know about this? The user is said to have Dutch background, but I'm not sure if they would know of this band.
Dreams are boundless, imaginations are infinite, space is a multi-directional spiral & Akazukin ChaCha is my favorite anime

I haven't heard it before but I could text a relative about it.
Although all my paternal relatives are/were Dutch (dad immigrated to US but I think everyone else stayed within the Benelux) I only got to visit very rarely and I was raised entirely Americanised which I'm not happy about except that where I live is very linguistically diverse. I think I would have had better education had I been born in the EU (at least in the K-12 schools I attended, there was a strong preference for customary system, and classes for any language other than English was very minimal so I relied on private tutors, self-teaching, and TV programmes)

I had never heard of this band before either until I decided to look up "Ducth folk music" on YouTube one day & found this particular song:
I don't have any relatives from the Netherlands(at least not that I know of), but I do have German roots somewhat(my mom is from Germany but my dad is an African-American) & the languages are similar ENOUGH to English that I can understand a little bit of it. Like you, I've pretty much been raised in an "Americanized" manner somewhat, but where I live isn't as diverse as where you are. Mainly African-Americans & Latinos. Aside from my mom, I know nothing about my German relatives. Would most of those unknown German relatives even know the relatives living in the US? Probably not.
Well, here's some German song since I have German roots... or maybe this is from Austria or Switzerland & I'm an idiot. I have no clue on where this music is from, all I know is that this is from some band whose name is in German:

A few of my video games are in German and I definitely understand some of it, but if it had Dutch it would be easier for me to understand (even with Dutch I still encounter unfamiliar words (I was raised entirely anglophone but studied other languages just for fun; my dad only spoke to me in English but I remember overhearing him speaking in Dutch on the phone), but at least I have dictionaries for multiple languages)

I only understand few words from the Vietnamese version. The Japanese and Spanish version I understand fully and the Mandarin version I understand somewhat

Although English is the lingua franca where I live, you can encounter pretty much any language both with the tourists and neighbourhood communities (the few times I've been in small American towns that seem to be English-only movement is shock to me). I get a lot of practice with Spanish and Mandarin this way. Historically there was a Kleindeutschland but since the German-American neighbourhood no longer exists, encountering a German speaker is more at random (although there is definitely a Yiddish-speaking community). From the Netherlands I think all that remains is place names but have anglicised spelling/pronunciation (and the rule of tussenvoegsels in names are not followed), and the city flag is based on the Prinsenvlag but with vertical stripes instead of horizontal and has the city seal. But in the Netherlands the Prinsenvlag not in historical context is disliked because it was claimed by NSB (Nazi's ruin everything).
