World Music
Use this area here to share links, mp3s, or other related info on music that is not in your native tongue, or from your part of the world.
I know there are quite a few of you. And you know who you are! I'll start if off by sharing this track by a Geogrian woman (at least her name would suggest so, thought I don't think she is singing in Georgian). Western women just can't sing like this... Tatyana Makharadze - Antebulo http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=0C6DAB242A54C43E |

|

Well, of course not. Yuppies don't listen to world music anyway! They listen to Barry Manilow. |

Please do. |
Thanks Sn@ke!
The first one reminds me of Partopi Tao Group from Sumatra. Worlds apart. Good stuff. |

interesting fact: simon and garfunkel covered this song for their bridge over troubled water album. |

If you've got it, share it. I imagine it sounds much different. |
Wow that los incas piece is mega.
|
Mega to say the least.
BUUUUUUUT how about mine?? |
Awesome!
|
Not bad but i prefered her singing rather than the music.I'll listen again because sometimes you just need to do that.
|
my mom has vinyl galore of south american folk and protest music, some great stuff, even though my t'table is not up to playing, let alone rip, music at the moment.

id seriously recommend to anyone interested in the great and different singing of women to get this.
Hot Women: Women Singers From The Torrid Regions Of The World http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayP...;-1&sku=136484 compiled by robert crumb from his massive collection or wierd and wonderful collection of 78's. features women singers from all over the world. lots of different voices and a very interesting album. also, i think most of the music was recorded between the turn of the century and the 1930's. |
Can we infiltrate a little exotica into this thread?It could be a lot of fun if the quality remains high.

Да. I might suggest you check out this web radio station that is a favorite of mine: http://www.weirdsville.com/radio.html Check out the Exotica one. Though, some of the others are terrific too. Thanks for the uploads Pork. I shall download them now, or soon. |
Hey as if i havent posted about 300 times before about that one.I've been listening to that for a few years now and in fact some of the music i'm posting is converted from streams of weirdsville.com.How good am i,eh?
|
Like this wonderful chinese lady for example:
Chang Siao Ying -Come back home http://www.badongo.com/file/1382645 |
I noticed the Hawaiian War Chant was featured there, but who am I to know?!
How does one convert streams from web radio to downloadable tracks? er.. Cause there are a few random tracks from that Exotica playlist that I would so love to be able to hear on demand! One from an Indian film comes to mind... |
You open some editing program software making sure that the recording levels on your sound card are adjusted the right way and then you stream and record the song in real time.After that,do the editing that is needed and save it as your file format of choice.
|
That website is a goldmine.Have you listened to the streams of 'Museum of Mankind'?Wow!
|
Alright, maybe through trial and error I could master this.
|
I own all of the Secret Museum of Mankind series on CD. That first upload was from the Central Asia one.
|
thanx thanks thancs a million times for wierdsville!

Here's a link to a good South African Band called Amampondo
Amampondo is a group from South Africa's Eastern Cape (Pondo Land) that started twenty five years back playing Xhosa traditional music, mostly percussion and vocals. Now it has blossomed into one of the most interesting and experimental groups in the country. Amampondo has opened its doors to let in the breezy jazz of Cape Town, as well as a variety of other African traditional elements, and the result is a remarkable blend of marimbas, drums, horns, piano, and layers of male and female vocals. The first track begins like one of those happy-go-lucky African marimba ensembles out of the Pacific Northwest, but more persuasive authenticity soon kicks in with shouts and cries of possessed celebrants and rich, layered, male and female vocals. "African Pride" revs into exhilarating roots jazz with hard-hitting tenor sax riffs. On "Ndiyakhala," an energized marimba cranks against swinging, sizzling trap drum backing while a smooth female chorus answers Fancy Galada's scratchy, old man vocal. "Ihobe" adds piano and a horn section to the mix and merges percussion roots with the cool melancholy of Cape Town jazz. -- Afropop Editor Banning Eyre says, "This music is bursting with the spirit of freedom Nelson Mandela fought for. As the name suggests, this is timeless music, resonating with pure rhythm from the heart. There's the gospel sounds of the Amampondo choir, who hit some truly mindstretching harmonies singing acapella along with the killer rhythms of the congas..."

South African Hip Hop.
Pitch Black Afro (Thulani Ngcobo) has taken the kwaito/hip hop movement to new heights as these genres gather momentum in South Africa, This dynamically unique rapper exploded onto the scene with his phenomenal self-titled hit – Pitch Black Afro. Born in Orlando East, he moved to Johannesburg after completing his schooling and discovered a love of hip-hop in 1995. Between then and 2001, Pitch Black Afro refined his musical writing skills. He then took part in the Rap Activity Jams on YFM where he won MC of the week and then the month. Here DJ Cleo who was impressed with his lyrical delivery, spotted him. Pitch Black Afro became a firm favourite in the clubs and bashes where he performed with a crew called The Native Huts Allstars and a movement – Black Sunday. His demo was played frequently on Metro FM. Following DJ Cleo’s success as a producer for Mzekezeke, Brown Dash, Arthur and Jeff Maluleke, amongst others, he approached Pitch Black Afro to sign as the first artist to his record label, Will of Steel Productions. “Pitch Black Afro immediately stood out for me,” says DJ Cleo. “Every time he takes the mic his lyrical style and flow impresses me. The novelty behind his lyrics, his body language and his energy is mind blowing. It’s like he raps in puns. This boy is talented!” This guy's hilarious! ![]() Pitch Black Afro - Styling Gel.

Tokolosh, I've heard great things about hip hop from South Africa, this seems as good a time as any to check it out. Thanks for the links.
Tomorrow, I've got some treats for everyone. I'm too lazy to do it tonight. Cheers! |
this is a great thread, lets not let it die.
heres a few tracks from the r.crumb hot women comp i mentioned. a little taster. http://www.sendspace.com/file/kpxwq0 its good to have a few threads about world and classical music going rather than the usual indie noise shite that seems to never end these days. |
Totally.This is my favourite thread together with the mixtape one.

the best place ive ever found for world music is the library.
birmingham music library is a fucking goldmine for all types of music except for rock n pop, (which aint all that bad) i got into ianis xenakis from the libaray as well as loads of kool rock stuff. amazing dub and reggae section, folk, blues, jazz. and with the listening posts you can book for an hour, you cant go wrong. take a shitload of interesting looking cds and sit down and listen for an hour and you find some good stuff. the world section is the best. i went thru a phase of ripping all their good stuff, but its all on MD and my MD player is fkd. so i cant share it. when i get back to england ill dig this thread up and put some amazing korean and japanese crazy trad instrument stuff up. also ive got some beautiful eastern european stuff. my friend made me a mix tape and put this song, which is one of my favorite songs ever on. he got it from one of his dads lps, but he lives in germany now and cant get hold of the lp. its a cross between eastern european gypsey music and irish fiddle music. if i could get this album, id be ok for new music for months. |

Thailand ghost festival from Phi Ta Khon: Ghosts of Isan its available on dvd from http://www.sublimefrequencies.com/ |
I'll get round to putting something into this thread presently, I can't actually be arsed at the moment, but I am reading.
Carry on as you were troops. |
As promised:
Selected tracks from a magnificent compliation I picked up yesterday. Those of you who are fans of the Ethiopiques series may already be familiar with these songs/artists. This is for the uninitiated to enjoy. All songs come from Ethiopian artists. This particular comp. (No. 18 in the series) features modern singers that are well known through out the Addis Ababa cabaret club scene. Amazing stuff. ![]() Zèwditou Yoohannes - Eném Lèfèlèfkugn Mèlagèruw Sèma Taddèssé Andargué - Endè Iyèrusalém Eténèsh Wassié - Ambassel Enjoy. |
Nice stuff thanks!

There's an awesome Brasillian samba band called Olodum, but I can't find a link to any audio/mp3's.
I saw then live and it was basically a wall of noise - 15 members, 12 of whom were drummers. |
