Amazing Music of the World.

Wait until you try the cheese, bread and wine of the region, and their traditional dishes.

 

The landscape of that scarcely inhabited region is also quite beautiful.

Saw these girls live in the 90s... Amazing, though a bit hard on the ear for fist-timers:

Doesn't mean to say it well sell at that, plenty of items listed by market place sellers at crazy prices.

A deep respect. A great musician. BTW tabla and oud are at the very top of my favorite 'ethnic' instruments.

This is a must then - straight from analog to Quad DSD (I only have one track myself though):

 

Badal Roy & Robert Gupta - Suryodaya [Yarlung Records, Bob Attiyeh on nativedsd.com]

 

 

Listening to this in Quad DSD made me appreciate all the nuance a great tabla player can have.

I've been following some of the shows on both Portugal and Spain.

Both those countries are on my short list.

A gem I came across long time ago:

 

and it led me to find another incredible artist, and she isn't even Puerto Rican:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDDz67dBNpg

Shakuhachi flute by Yoshikazu Iwamoto:

@semente I watched it with as much pleasure as I listened to it. Love Japanese ink painting. I studied art history and seriously considered at one moment Japanese art as my master degree subject.

 

I once discovered Minoru Muraoka's 'Bamboo'. Not a big fan of this album but you don't hear something like that everyday

@merlin68

I'm sure about 2 things:

1. You like Angelique Kidjo

2. You are not addicted to posting on CA

(actually you've just intrigued me with your average of 1 post per year)

 

@accwai

IMHO this genre deserves a separate thread

[Nikhil]

The Yoshido Brothers on the Shamisen

 

I came across these guys while looking for the theme music of "Begin Japanalogy".

Their repertoire spans traditional to modern house.

@merlin68 I remember this Hendrix song performed by Angelique Kidjo live with Buddy Guy from 'Lightnin' in a Bottle' which is a must see for all blues enthusiasts.

 

 

As for Free Hole Negro - this is a face of Cuban music I didn't know.

I know it's purely a question of personal taste. You know - some like growling.. But I like instrumental flamenco (is there instrumental fado too.?) - and in fact still search for interesting virtuoso performers. Someone's got any suggestions?

Try to listen to the whole song if you can, otherwise just use the 2m43s link for some nice 12- and 6-string guitar playing (vocals are great too, though):

 

 

 

The musicians from the orchestra looked a bit unaffected at first but then they got into it.

@semente The guitar players are very good indeed. I like especially the '2:43' solo.

Susheela Raman - another example of interesting IMO ethno fusion from my collection.

 

 

[semente]

Another piece of Iberian culture:

 

[sphinxsix]

And another (I heven't listened to this CD for a long time - gotta go back to it). I believe it's Iberian-Arabic fusion.

Somehow the vocal (I said before I'm not a big fan of this vocal style) never made this album unlistenable to me.

 

Radio Tarifa.

I have this album of theirs, probably their first:

 

[sphinxsix]

@semente The cover says it all about the music, I think. Yes, these are their first 2 albums. I will check out the one you have, I don't know it.
