International music (in general)

Hi VEGANGELICA,
nice to know you found something nice for you

This song is my loved one, you can listen to it on album Licht and all my favourite songs are from this album so I would recommend this one like first.
Thank you so much for lyrics and translation! I didn't have it.

Now something new...

I know one folk-rock italian band - Modena City Ramblers

Now I got new recommendation for some other italian band - Argine. It's mixture of neofolk, classical and post-punk.

Both bands are interesting for me.

Modena City Ramblers - Morte di un poeta

Argine - Memorie

Argine - Le luci di Hessdalen

And again something new although it's different music genre.

If somebody likes progressive metal...
I just found band Orphaned Land. It's mostly english but they have also some songs in hebrew. Influenced by oriental music.

This one song seems to me more oriental / hebrew music than metal...

I like some Italian Prog:

and Balkan Beats are great but I'm not too Knowledgeable about this area and just go by the Balkan Beat and Gypsy bangers series of albums for some great tracks.

The French Music? thread is closed, but the naked truth about French pop is not completely unveiled yet...

Although in this case... well... Anyway this beautiful song has been very successful:

And this is an International classic from 1987:

I love this thread!

I had one funny thing with Last.fm this week... One guy from United States recommended me some czech music!

Czech prog and somehow I didn't know it. World is really small in this century, it made me laugh

So you can try it....

Blue Effect. They sing in czech and english.

Hi there,

Thanks Vegangelica for your point of view on my above question. I tend to agree with you on that although on the Jamaican thing, I would draw the line at becoming a rasta,I think I'm too much of a Pagan for that, ha, ha..

As for the different accents when singing. Honestly, that's a subconscious thing that just happens. If I write a song with a reggae beat I guess the natural thing is to be influenced by everything I've heard in that style and it may come out sounding a little Jamaican, not planned that way though. Same as on that bluegrass type song I recorded. There I sounded like 'Cowboy' Daktari. If I recorded everything in the accent I speak with, then everything would sound a little weird and forced. Same with musical instruments. If I joined a reggae band I would probably play guitar in that style. If I joined a thrashy, punky band, the style would change to fit that kind of music.

I've been working on a few Zimbabwe type guitar tunes. Thing is, the vocal on this type of music always sounds better in their local language to me. Never stopped Paul Simon though....

Cheers, Gordon.

Guess I'll contribute with some musical culture from Norway. This song is called Fanitullen which name means "Devil's tune" because, as legend will have it, the first fiddler to play it learned it from the devil who, of course, is really good at fiddle-playing. There are a few variations of this tune being played in some of the inland valleys, but this 70s recorded version by famous norwegian guitarist Øystein Sunde and his band is quite popular.

An audible slice of Norway as it were.

I would also enjoy hearing French songs that are hard and gritty, because it is so hard for me to think of French as sounding anything other than sensuous and melodious.

R. Leão is a former member of Madredeus. This band's music speaks for itself:

How interesting that the Portugese have a special word, Saudade, for the feeling of nostalgia/sadness/love/emptiness! I agree with you that the Madredeus song has that feeling! The video unfortunately cut out around halfway through, so I couldn't hear it all.

Heh-heh...maybe this is why a heathen like myself wanted to play the violin as soon as I saw one being played when I was 6.

Hmm...have *you* been practicing this upbeat fiddle tune on *your* violin, Tore? Torturing people with high-pitched squeals? One of the benefits of playing a violin as a child, especially when one has siblings, is the violin's remarkable capacity for making excruciating sounds. ;-)
