"World" Music Talk

(1/6) > >>

ALoveSupreme:
Since Soph. year high school and being exposed to the percussive Gamelon, I've really liked world music (i.e. I'm an idiot American, and, yes, anything that doesn't have distorted guitars is a novel concept, I'll admit all of this).  Lately I've been getting into the "eastern european stylings" of Gogol Bordello and DeVotchKa (although sometimes I think Devotchka have heavy hispanic influence as well).  

But, There's a ton of great party music elements to Merenguea (I have an amazing vinyl of "Folk Music of the Dominican Republic... straight up shout choruses, accordion and sax jamzzz), and I just miraculously found a Tito Puente vinyl for a buck.  

I'm sure I could go on, but yeah.   Give me things to lsiten to.  Now.

valley_parade:
There isn't such a thing as music without distorted guitars. Stop all that nonsense.

KharBevNor:
Gae Bolg, Dead Can Dance, Afrocelt Sound System and all the bagpipe music you can get your hands on.

Thrillho:
'World' music is the dumbest genre title ever. Surely 'world' music encompasses ALL MUSIC produced on Earth?

Kid Modernist:
Fucking FELA KUTI
and KING SUNNY ADE
and Manu Chao (Pretty famous in Europe, I hear and maybe overplayed for them, but I dig it a lot)

African:
Prince Eyango
Keng Godefroy
The Green Apples
Chiekh Lo
Mulatu Astatke (Ethiopian Jazz)

South American:
Joao Gilberto
Tinku

And let me reiterate: Fela Kuti

I'm mostly in to African music (Especially West African)
