Long ago, like 15 years ago, I had this CD, Electric Sufi, but in certain moment I find out I can not listen it anymore. His recent album from this year is much less irritating, imho. Link to comment

I'm not a big fan as well. There are definitely better oud players than him but listen to eg the beginning of the 'Birds Requiem' album - his vocal can be impressive! Link to comment

Popular Post christopher3393 Posted December 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2018 Mongolian Rock from the HU. It's kind of tribal, nationalistic, hypermasculine, metallic, good time music. with motorcycle posse and bonfire: AnotherSpin and Superdad 2 Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Is Mongolian Rock all based in the towns? I know those guys have been packing sat TV dishes and generators on yaks since the 1980s but I have to wonder how they get up a rock band/music with the physical isolation involved in nomadism?

Ulaanbaatar, capital of Mongolia has population of more than 1mln. Its international airport is named after Chingis Khan, who was founder of Mongol Empire, largest state in the history.

sphinxsix Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 My first thought when I heard 'Yuve Yuve Yu' for the first time was - 'Mongolian Sisters Of Mercy' (the band) (and not 'Mongolian The Who' ) The song is pretty catchy anyway. The second one was - 'I'd like to own one of those instruments' 1 hour ago, AnotherSpin said: Ulaanbaatar, capital of Mongolia has population of more than 1mln.

rando Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 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. Link to comment

One more thing - as for an alphorn subwoofer, beware - never connect it out of phase, it might suck you in.. rando 1 Link to comment

Maybe it was supposed to have some spiritual meaning (you know - yin vs yang etc) or maybe changing blouses is just very trendy nowadays in Beijing. Anyway it probably didn't cost her much, I bet they were Chinese C'mon,.. just concentrate on the beauty of her ..music! Link to comment
