Musicas del Mundo... (Africa, Asia etc)

Abro este hilo para aquellas bandas y discos de lugares mas exoticos los cuales no solemos hacer mucho caso. Asi que lo abro por si entre quienes os apetezca vamos haciendole un poco de caso de tanto en tanto.
Tenemos hilos de casi todo tipo, este creo que era uno de los que faltaba. Si ya existiera me lo deciis que lo borro.

Empiezo por un grandisimo disco africano de este mismo año que acabo de descubrir.

The worldwide success of Tinariwen has had two repercussions, which are both reflected in this impressive new album from the Sahara. It has led to a new generation of guitar bands emerging from the nomadic Touareg community, singing about their struggles, suffering and hopes in the Tamashek language. And it has meant that desert blues is now influencing even indie rock bands such as Dirtmusic, whose American guitarist Chris Eckman produced this set. The two bands met at the Festival in the Desert a couple of years back, and have been working together ever since. So although this album has inevitable echoes of the loping, rhythmic guitar style of Tinariwen, the desert blues is mixed with thoughtful, breathy laments in which the drifting guitar work makes them sound like the African answer to an Americana band. Tinariwen are still the kings of desert blues, but Tamikrest are impressive young contenders.

JAPANESE KOTO ORCHESTRA1993



1 Otone No Nagare Ni Sote (Along the Grand Tone River) 24:54
2 Nagare (The Stream) 10:52
3 Shockikubai (Music of Pine, Bamboo and Plum Blossoms) 10:52

Here we have yet another fine CD of koto music from Lyrichord, like "Japanese Koto Consort" featuring the sound of multiple koto instruments along with the shamisen and the shakuhachi, plus some other instruments too. The blend of the different instruments works really well, each one complimenting the other. The seventeen-string koto especially adds a certain depth and substance to the music. And for those who find the traditional Japanese singing style abrasive or annoying, fear not...there are no vocals on this CD.

The three tracks on the CD are all interesting in their own way. Track One is by far the most complex, and is movingly beautiful in melody. Track Two is good as well, a modern piece composed in 1933 by Tsukushi Kazuko ("the most talented woman in Japan, who both composes and plays the koto" the liner notes inform us), while Track Three is a tried and true old classic of this sort of joint performance (otherwise known as Sankyoku). Altogether this is fine, elegant music.

Most of Lyrichord's CDs are digital remasters of older albums originally released as LPs, and one can kind of tell that this one is as well. The sound quality may very well not stand up to the exalted contemporary standards of digital refinement, but the digital remastering seems to be professionally done and the CD sounds good enough to me in any case. As I've found to be the case with most of Lyrichord's CD releases, the beauty of the music and the quality of the musical performance on this album more than make up for any minor technological deficiencies.

Yo conozco a Loudness, japoneses.... eso cuenta??

Pues no vas mal del todo borope . Mientras sean buenos discos de lugares mas exoticos ya es mas que suficiente. Si es musica tradicional del lugar en cuestion pues mejor que mejor, pero si hacen rock, pop o lo que sea pues tambien.

La idea mas que nada es la de tratar de descubrir buenos discos, clasicos, actuales o de cualquier epoca, de escenas musicales mas desconocidas.

Jamás entendí a qué se le llama "músicas del mundo" y sobre todo por qué. Ni que el resto de las músicas las hicieran extraterrestres.

¿Y la música new age? Esa es mejor aún .

Tela también.

Ya sabemos como son las etiquetas, que le vamos a hacer. Y esta en concreto a mi tampoco me entusiasma pero es la mas cercana a lo que yo, mas o menos, queria exponer: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_music

Bueno, y ya que estamos por aqui aprovecho para dejar un clasico directo de las bahamas, quien no lo haya escuchado ya tarda en hacerlo.

EXUMA 1970



A1 Exuma, the Obeah Man 6:16
A2 Dambala 5:34
A3 Mama Loi, Papa Loi 4:32
B1 Junkanoo 3:24
B2 Seance in the Sixth Fret 7:14
B3 You Don't Know What's Going On 3:27
B4 The Vision 8:14

Carribean psych-folk from a remarkable musician known by his stage name Exuma. Exuma as a character throughout this album, and many future albums, is an Obeah man, a voodoo doctor who can raise the dead and who travels into the sky. This album has a few amazing stand out tracks (Exuma the Obeah Man, Dambala, You Don't Know What's Going On) that I almost always love listening to. Junkanoo is a field recording/piece of constructed sound, Elegy is not really anything I can figure out, and Mama Loi Papa Loi is a song about Zombies that is amusing but sounds a little silly to me. A very solid album, and a unique persona.
