Here's another Yakut Khomuz player, I really like her work. And, yes, she does her own animal sound effects. All the good ones do their own animal sound effects.

Think you know percussion? If you haven't heard of Indian Drum Language, then you got some schoolin' to do:

^It's like a drum solo with voices. Had to listen to it again just now.

And if there's interest, I can break this out into a new category...

Qawwali singing by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, one of the greatest singers ever. The lyrics can be taken either romantically or as a romantic metaphor for man's relationship with the divine.

Just go to 0:24 to skip the stupid ad at the front and treat yourself to one of the best Bollywood Item Numbers, ever. I could explain the clip, but I won't. Best instead to see the whole movie before it to explain the situation. This is the second to last song in the film, so it's about 2 and a half hours into the picture.

Film name is Devdas, if you are interested. Personally, I love this song. It is practically why I watch the film, just to build up properly to this song at the climax of the picture.

Voodoo Child from Angelique Kidjo, an amazing vocalist from Benin. She OWNS this song, and I consider this version every bit as haunting as the original.

Manu Chao must be considered "world music", right? Despite the obvious Reggea and Latino influences, there's something else there that somehow represent the whole world. I don't understand a single word, agree with each one...

Absolutely!

And that leads us to when Mr. Chao collaborated with Amadou & Mariam...

And Poncho Sanchez ain't no slouch, either. My first album of his was a live bootleg I bought on the streets of Mexico City because it was a Mexico City kind of thing to do...

Speaking of Poncho Sanchez, how about a little musica cubana?

Eliades Ochoa - "Pintate los labios, Maria"

Animation done by the same crew that brought "The Vampires of Havana", which I shall link in another thread...

If you need something sunny for your life, how about bouncing along with Bisso na Bisso? It's one of the very few rap acts that I can tolerate, thanks to their Congolese musical samplings:

Well, today is the solstice, so the nights will be getting shorter for the next few months.

Until then, how about a cancion norteño?

World music (also called global music or international music) is a musical category encompassing many different styles of music from around the globe, which includes many genres including some forms of Western music represented by folk music, as well as selected forms of ethnic music, indigenous music, neotraditional music, and music where more than one cultural tradition, such as ethnic music and Western popular music, intermingle.

It's not necessarily folk music as such, but a mix of types of music from different parts of the world.

Tang Dynasty i would call World Metal... Orphaned Land too.

Often, if it's not sung in English, it's world music. More often, if it's not rock and roll and not sung in English, it's world music. But not necessarily folk tunes, as our friends in Africa are able to demonstrate:

Didn't you just post Tang Dynasty, who plays Rock (Metal) and sing in English? :P

There's ALOT of music that's not Rock or sung in English that's not World Music. I think my definition above is a pretty good one...

Tang Dynasty sings in Mandarin. If you heard English, you need to find a place to sit down and ride out that monster high you've got. :)

I know i've heard live clips of them singing in English, but be damned if i couldn't find any of those right now...  >:(

Ok, so Manu Chao, then, who sings in pretty much every language there is, including English. Or as i mentioned, Orphaned Land.
My whole point was ofcourse; there is World Music in English, not singing in English doesn't make it World Music...

And i haven't been high for a week and a half, btw...  C:-)

Well, noone have mentioned folk music until you did. This is about, as the topic says, World Music. Two different genres, though World Music is often a mix of various folk music and others...

True, and the Hawaiian one is what I would consider world music, but "Pen Pineapple Apple Pen" is not.

This here I would call World Music, though:

This one's for Charger - I looked up the start of rock in Finland and found a 12-year-old kid, Vesa Enne, and that cat can lay it down!





That last one is a hoot... you don't have to speak Finnish to know what's going on at the end!  :banana: And, yes, you know me enough to know that I really do love finding this musical history. It's fun and the music's really good in most cases.

 :smug: Something along those lines...  But, yeah, if anyone can find anything from the 50s or very early 60s - pre-Beatles stuff and/or Motown - I'm interested. Any language, any where.

And bonus points if it's Connie Francis singing in Japanese. She had one song, "Someone Else's Boy" that she recorded in *eight* languages. The woman had a gift!
