I only insert the band name because some bands can't be pigeon-holed into a single genre. So that is the reason I said
"La Puerta de Entrada a El Capitán Carne de Vaca Corazón", but in English.

World Music (even though I kind of hate that genre term)
Also: Tishoumaren, blues, Nigerian music


Mdou Moctar - A Fleur Tambak

I know how country restrictions go, so if you can't watch that song, it's the first song on this video. And if you like it, the rest of the album is right there too. It's a win win.


Mdou Moctar - Afelan (full album)

Surprise, surprise: I really really liked this. Great power, good vocal, kind of a dark energy to it.

That was all right. Wouldn't particularly be interested in hearing more, but it was ok.

That was also all right. Quite funny in its way, but not necessarily anything I want to listen to again.

Yes, really liked that first one. Think Blackgaze may be a genre I can really get into.

Have some Reggae

Yeah that was all right. Good blues jam.

****ing A-maz-ing! Gets extra points for the Springsteen and Radiohead references, and the video is unbelievable! Superb!

Sounds like something off Bone Machine. I know, I know! Still, even if this were a Waits track, it's probably one I wouldn't listen to that much. It's all right, but not the sort of thing I prefer to listen to. I've heard worse from Bully Beef, sure, but I've also heard much better.

glad you liked it! pretty much expected those results.

More like early Lizzy or Rory Gallagher, I would have thought. Super stuff though: that riff! And that afro! :laughing: Yeah, great track, really excellent.

I'm familiar with all the other videos you posted so I won't be doing them.

You were right: the first video wouldn't work for me. Having played it on the second one though, reaction is, quite boring really. Monotonous, doesn't have any real variety, nothing to get excited about personally. Very definite meh.

That's fair. For me, the rolling guitars and his sense of melody make it work well.

Very kind o' ye.
That was pretty cool. I'm not quite sure if it's that all reggae sounds similar, or just that there is no bad reggae, but so far I've pretty much enjoyed any I've heard. Certainly is "happy" music, which, I guess, given all the ganja they're presumably consuming in vast quantities, is not that surprising. :laughing:
