Amazing Music of the World.

How about a Dutch woman singing British folk song?

If you simply cannot hang in there try the 1:00 minute mark.

Fair enough, I could have chosen a less stunning transcription for his chosen instruments.  At least I didn't just click through to youtube and post the fifth video down the suggestions list.

Pieces of these two selections appeared in the official documentary of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.  Full versions off the soundtrack are presented below.

Oops, meant to post that in song of the day.

Came across a Persian group named "Rohub Ensemble" today.  Without doubt I would pay not to have to see them at any of the live performance spaces they recorded videos in.  This to me exemplifies where a lot of the trouble I have listening to world music stems from.  This first video appears to have been shot in their home and the second en plein air.  Amazing what a difference that makes compared to some college amphitheater they shoved a podium off stage at an hour earlier.

@Superdad You missed your chance to rile him up with a comment about how insincere the performance was in the physical sphere.  He absolutely failed to incorporate a horn mooo-te in his act.

This could have fit too many places. Before being hipsterized into a pop icon his guitar rock was recognized as world music. The type with deep political and mortal consequence. He went back home and self recorded this by the grace of the king of Morocco. 

 

This is what some wordy purveyor of culture and taste had to say about a man who's bandmates were abducted and killed for their music. Forcing him down the road towards pop stardom.  

 

"...he resembled what “Purple Rain”-era Prince might have looked like if Minneapolis were closer to North Africa than North Dakota. His guitar playing was nearly as incendiary as the Purple One, too"

 

FFS, the music is actually a decent spin on rock & roll. I'd actually pay to stand in a small club among the unwashed masses for what is undoubtedly a good live show. Just not in Williamsburg or MN.

Not surprising, seemed to be subject to a disproportionate amount of hype.

This is probably the first time I find didgeridoo music fascinating. Probably quite far from its aboriginal roots but what a rhythmic flow!

 

 

 

It's alright I guess. No Alphorn, but they seem more into being a double threat than pursuing the heights of musicianship or formal dress.

I live in The US, to me France is another part of the world...

 

Most of France is from another part of the world these days.

OK, I'll bite. What does Seneca say?

 

He says basically this.

Thanks for putting the idea into my head somewhere out there might be a very distraught person with a Computer Audiophile tattoo.

 

Back on topic (even if only momentarily)

 

[rando]

Hmm, panned indeed.

Gone are the days when cars had personality, faces.  I'll have mine permanently looking ready to throw its rear end out and jump into a field. AA are unfixable in this regard. 

 

 

@accwai just be careful how you phrase where you need to place the wife as ballast in the vehicle to get optimal balance on snow.

didn't know where else to post this: Elena Uutai, performance from a concert in Aldan (Republic of Sakha Yakutia, Russia). "Blessing of Nature". Described as "neo-shamanic"🙄 Prepare for animal sounds.

 

Before I attempt listening to this.  I feel compelled to point out my first observation was this is likely unauthentic in the manner only youtube uploaders looking for clicks seem destined towards promoting. 

 

I was able to quickly arrive at this conclusion due to the fact her armpits aren't braided.

 

 

 

Edit:  A bit mainstream, the band not the song or the album, but quite topical.

My guess is at some point this hit everyone's radar who pays attention to this thread.  If not enjoy.  When the Hne comes in you really feel like you're right there in Myanmar.  Just try not to smile.

Imagine 21 tuned drums hanging in a gilded circular frame - playing melodies with astounding gusto and verve.  This instrument - the pat waing - is one of the most incredible and unique percussion instruments in the world.
