rip hold man, u left one of the greatest footprints on planet earth  

it's disgusting what some western artists do, like Paul Simon's El Cóndor Pasa (If I Could)... few western people never have or will ever listen to Andean music or even say it's cheesy or something like that, but his song is the bomb... don't even give credits to the original composers... probably don't even know about it...

  Quote

In 1965, American artist Paul Simon listened to the version of the parade tune performed by Los Incas in the Théâtre de l'Est Parisien (Paris). Simon asked the band permission to include a cover version of the song on an album. The band advised him that the piece belonged to Andean folklore, while the arrangement was Jorge Milchberg's (director of Los Incas). Milchberg is represented as the arrangement's co-author because he added two notes which entitled him to collect royalties. In 1970, Simon & Garfunkel covered the Los Incas' version under the name "El Cóndor Pasa" ("If I Could"), adding English lyrics written by Simon,[2] and included it in the album Bridge Over Troubled Water. Daniel Alomía Robles was not listed in the credits as the piece's original composer, because it was considered an Andean folk melody. Simon was listed as the author of the lyrics; nobody was given credit for the melody. This cover achieved worldwide fame, and has itself been covered multiple times, its lyrics translated into multiple languages. Even Armando Robles Godoy, the composer's son and Peruvian filmmaker, wrote new lyrics for the song using Paul Simon's version as a reference.

same with La Bamba:

shitty stolen versions:

fucking cunts...

I mean, I'm not against cover versions or anything like that, sometimes they're even cooler, but achieving fame without giving credits to the original composers it's just a really shitty move...

new album out now... well it was released on the 9th of September to be more exact...

Ah yesss... unique vocals and tribal rhythms, the holy pulsating drumbeats that have had people dancing in frenzies for countless millennia.

"World music", a term I personally despise, works as a different kind of music, with a different kind of purpose. It sings to a very visceral, ancient part of us deep down inside. It draws it out, perhaps from the "reptilian" brain, past our egos, and beckons us to dance with abandon, to surrender ourselves to the beat that comes from both outside and inside.

This total abandonment, this shedding of the ego and allowing one to have pure enjoyment is a very special thing in itself. It implies the dropping of barriers, and it implies acceptance from the others. In ancient societies, the dance was closely related with spirituality. I am beginning to see how this is so, for spirituality requires an opening up, a release of the ego, and this sort of dance can be a direct path to these goals.

This is pretty much all I listen to since a few years ago, so much so that I consider switching careers and going hard into ethnomusicology. As a result, I have amassed a great number of bangers and tearjerkers which might be of interest to some. 

Here's a particularly hypnotizing Hawaiian joint I am obsessed with currently:

is this thread about world music or about world music?

my 1st coment on this thread lol

same boat man, world music in itself is cringey af... this thread should be called folk music...

I'm also utterly interested in ethnomusicology, have some projects I would love to start in Senegal but it's kinda hard right now to fully invest on that...

back in 2012 or such when I got into this I spent like 4 years listening almost exclusively to folk music and derivatives mainly from Africa and South America... it still is what I mostly listen nowadays...

French movie by a Finnish director (Aki Kaurismäki), which actually lived in portugal for a while, with an mbalax senegalese song by a Hasse Walli who spent some time in Senegal during the 80's recording with local musicians...

highly recommended, not just this movie, his entire filmography is great... 

check teranga beat and analog africa labels if you haven't already...
