Amazing Music of the World.

[sphinxsix]

Carla Bruni is  definitely an interesting performer but are you sure guys that her work can be called world music .?

[Axial]

She's a "French" Pop/Melodramatic singer. Her exotic charm is in the "melo" aspect. 

International ... not quite exactly truly accurately exquisitely uniquely describely sensitively sensibly the full international as in the world as we know it intentional term. 

 

But she'll do because music matters from anywhere and anyone beautiful melodies. 🎶 

... In my opinion. ... Of course. 🎙️

"World music" is a silly term. It seems mean anything not from Europe or North America, but still not foreign-sounding enough to be called "ethnic." It's all a bit racist, in my view.

"World music" is a nomenclature term to classify certain types of music. I do not find it silly and much less racist. Music is the universal language that unites the world.

 

Then one of my favorite pieces and also sometimes I dance because it removes my kidneys stones:

I was told that Bregović steals music from other artist and treats his musicians in a nasty way...

I love Conte but I wouldn't call it not music of the world. Soon everything will fit the topic...all music comes from somewhere.

How about some Japanese Flute music?

 

I need to replace (update) an old cassette tape from the '70s....

 

All I wrote on the label was "Koto - Japanese Flute"...

 

What would be a good recording to allow me to cross this thing off my list and toss the cassette?

 

 

 

I have this CD:

Semente doesn't think French music is World Music to those of us that don't live in France...

I had zero clue; I've just learned it now from you. 

Still I like happy world music, dance music, ... I go beyond the original roots.

Of but this is world music (international), please make no mistake. 

Even world music encompasses millions of genres; from calypso to gypsy to tango to Nana Mouskouri to Charles Aznavour to George Moustaki to Serge Reggiani to Gilbert Becaud to Ennio Morricone to all International artists of the world. 

 

That's my experience having worked and seen them in concerts, from the international stage.

True; pop music, electronica music and easy listening music.

 

Carla Bruni; she's soft Pop, French soft Pop from France. I'm very easy and very happy to have discovered her in this very own world music thread. I love her smooth voice and style. It's not your regular pop music...it has soul, liquid soul, French romance, world's essence.

Here is some French music, as modified by Afro-Carribean influences and then affected by the rap / hip-hop idiom....

 

 

[Ralf11]

... does that make it world music??

[sphinxsix]

Ok guys, as an OP I'm asking kindly to stick to the classic, widely approved meaning of terms : 'world music', 'world_fusion', 'ethno' and 'folk'. The fact that some band comes from another country doesn't mean it performs 'world music'. I'm sorry - Charles Aznavour and Ennio Morricone didn't perform or compose world music (). The music must have some folk/ethno roots to be called 'world music'. It's indisputable BTW I don't mind French music at all, maybe it's a good idea for a separate thread.

All "western" countries have their own local version of rock, pop, light, jazz, etc.

 

@sphinxsix will correct me but I presume that this kind of music is not what the topic is about. I think a bit of fusion is OK but it's mostly about ethnic, traditional, folk music.

I agree. I've already expressed my thoughts above. World music, ethno, folk and world fusion - like I said in the post starting this thread 'anything that has ethnic roots or just such an element' gentlemen, please otherwise it may end up as e.g. Italo disco thread

José Quevedo ‘Bolita’ and his flamenco big band.

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

Tulia from Poland.

 

 

(Metallica from the USA  I really like this version!)

You are the OP; I agree. It's your thread and and it's one of the best threads. 🎶

 

* French singers (International) can have their own thread.

One of these days I'll get to it. 😎

I wouldn't be surprised if this one hasn't appeared several times already, but I'm too lazy to look through 25 pages. Shoukichi Kina from Okinawa wrote Haisai Ojisan, which has been covered a zillion times, and this beautiful song, Hana:
