Music from Yakutia, stunning visuals and compelling tones not commonly heard in the West...

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.

^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...

The entire album is golden, this is one of my favorite tracks because Hugh Masekela blows his horn AND sings.

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?

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:
