It's Flamenco Week!
Flamenco is a traditional music style from Spain. It is primarily music for vocals and acoustic guitar, but is also often accompanied by traditional percussion. In its present form flamenco guitarists and singers are often accompanied by modern instrumentation such as piano, bass guitar and wind instruments. Flamenco music is based on the highly typical phrygian or dorian scales which lends it its characteristic melancholia. The singing can be especially emotional, while the guitar playing is characterized by typical, fiery rhythms and is often used to accompany traditional flamenco dances. |

The Music Banter General Album Club
Is talking about the Pale Fountains' From Across the Kitchen Table, the selection for 1985. It's Garage Rock Week! Garage rock is a raw form of rock and roll that was first popular in the United States and Canada from about 1963 to 1967. During the 1960s, it was not recognized as a separate music genre and had no specific name. In the late 1970s, some rock critics retroactively identified it as an early incarnation of punk rock, and it is sometimes called garage punk, protopunk, or 1960s punk; however, the music style has predominantly been referred to as garage rock. |
