The World Music thread

I don't agree with that though.

It's condescending.

World music is an English phrase for styles of music from non-Western countries, including quasi-traditional, intercultural, and traditional music. World music's broad nature and elasticity as a musical category pose obstacles to a universal definition, but its ethic of interest in the culturally exotic is encapsulated in Roots magazine's description of the genre as "local music from out there".

Excuse me, but this is not helpful. Where are you from? Can you show us some beautiful songs of you culture? Or do you want to show us something beautiful from other cultures? When yes, you are invited to post here your songs, but everything beside that is just disturbing.

Crossing Music's Borders: 'I Hate World Music' | BUALA

I hate world music. That's probably one of the perverse reasons I have been asked to write about it. The term is a catchall that commonly refers to non-Western music of any and all sorts, popular music, traditional music and even classical music. It's a marketing as well as a pseudomusical term...

I guess there is a generally missunderstanding of what is 'World Music':

World music - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

For me 'world Music' was and is always somethind cultural, traditional and shows the culture of the country. When Wikipedia talks about 'western music', I understand this as the typical chart-music, which you hear everywhere all day and where you see the video clips as soon as you turn on your TV.
Another aspect of 'World Music' is bringing together those traditional musicans. Often there appear very uncommen and beautiful songs.
For my as a German traditional music means classics like Bach and Beethoven and also medieval music, also when this is not popular in Germany, except in a fan scene. But it shows the roots of my culture. It is native.
And then there are musicans like Ruediger Oppermann who worked internationally over decades in many countries all over the world and this intercultural exchange is something I associate with 'World Music'.

So I could also aks, do Salsa playing Scotsmen already count as 'World Music'? Difficult to say.

Salsa Celtica - esperanza

For me that song is Salsa (a style derived directly from Son Montuno); I don't care if a group of Eskimos play it, if I recognize quality, whether I like the song or not. And for me polka and other "northern European" music are also folk and therefore, "world music"; and for my musical tradition are as exotic, like the Mexican Son Joracho, the North African Raid, or the Spanish-Equatoguinean Rumba-Macossa may be as exotic as for you...
¡¡ A bailar !!

It's been a long time since I listened to J. Bosco... That's not my favorite song of his, but it has universal gems... You must be the German that they say walks through the German streets with a bossa rhythm when he's in no hurry, and with a samba-reggae rhythm when it's lively...

It's from a cd compilation called 'Canvas Do Brasil' from the 'world music' section in our library. I just love brasil music.

...I already told you once as Montuno (before some of your compatriots got me expelled for life for my political opinions on our Union): with your music you teleport me to my childhood in the final stretch of the dictatorship , and those trips in that SEAT 131, with my father with one hand on the wheel and the other on my mother's knee, and my happy mother singing in Spanish the bossas that flowed from the radio... Elis Regina, Joāo Gilberto, Astrud Gilberto, María Creuza, María Bethânia, Sergio Mendes, Gal Costa, Caetano Veloso...

Good idea. I needed a while to find this one again. Perfect song for friday evening. Intense and hypnotic. Lighten up a fat one. Best choice would be dark hash. I will shake some pollen.

...So you can see, that just by listening to the folk tradition of my small nation, I am connected with Arabia, Persia and India, all of North and Central Africa, Celtic Europe, Germanic Europe (then if you want I will play you medieval Hispano-Visigothic music... ), all of America... And therefore, with greater or lesser intensity, with your own tradition and culture...
And vice versa: my roots are your branches, as my branches are the roots of others...
Come on; roots to the wind... (Santiago Auaerón aka Juan Perro; Spain):

-"What's your name, do you come from far away?
You and I have to talk
If you're looking for some ganja
You can trust me ...
..The fortune of man is
A friend anywhere...
...I with my eyes closed
I see at the bottom of the sea .."-

And he looked at me like a pirate, Disguising ,
Pretending to miscalculate...
...Because he never stopped to cast
The bills
...Although some other accounts had to pay...

Spend the afternoon on the sand
And in a breath he leaves
The sun that lights up the jungle
Then he goes into the sea...
...And entire Negril burning, Jungle sand and sky is ...What looks like a Rastamanflag...
And it evaporates from the waters black shadow
His eyes shine in the dark
And proclaiming the night he goes through the road:
-"From Lucea to Negril! Who wants to take me? "-

From the devil's barracks the smoke It's starting to sprout
It smells like burning garbage
Something doesn't want to throw..
...And there in the kitchen
The blood that boils is
There is not a bad thorn left
For dinner ..

...The Club of The Black Star open at midnight
Where there is an international atmosphere And a hispanic black talking to nobody
Said this way :
-"I am the terror of the raggamuffin !!
They call me El General !..-
-"¿Cómo te llamas?,
¿Vienes de lejos?;
Tu y yo, tenemos que hablar...
...Si buscas algo de (¡ganja!)
De mí, te puedes fiar..."-
