others vary widely in source and style. I like about 1/2 to 3/4 of what gets posted but it never fails to at least be interesting and usually of very high quality (not sound quality, which leans toward low-fi cassette - but musical quality, even if not to taste) |
Hi, 5-Track,
Thanks for mentioning the Awesome Tapes from Africa! I was not aware of this blog before. I've done international dancing since I was 5, and we often have songs from all over the world that sound like many of the ones on this blog. My impression is that a lot of folk songs from around the world are often combined with dancing. If you want to experience some of these songs to their fullest, I recommend you visit a local international folk dance group, if you have not done so already: dancing to music like this (like the Moroccan music) is even more engrossing than simply listening, I feel.
