11) This is #SnarkyPuppy and #Väsen performing "Shapons Vindaloo." I find it amazing that even with that many musicians and rhythms that intricate, their playing is still so tight. It's in 23/16, but imo it doesn't sound at all forced or gimmicky—it just works. #ThreeMinuteThursday #3MT #Music #UnitedStates #Sweden #TimeSignature #Nyckelharpa https://youtu.be/GG34pxW_N4c?si=pzaLSORYlSCXu0O-

5) With the passing of Amadou Bagayoko last week, it feels fitting to share an example of the brilliant #music of #AmadouEtMariam, the duo of Amadou and his wife Mariam Doumbia. In 2005, they released "Sénégal Fast Food," a song about the challenges of seeking a better life through #migration, with guest artist and producer #ManuChao. #ThreeMinuteThursday #3MT #Mali #France #Spain https://youtu.be/J43T8rEOg-I?si=hnRPSFqPkdIHzkQ3

4) In Husák's #Czechoslovakia, the poems of #EgonBondy were banned. The #PlasticPeopleOfTheUniverse were not allowed to record/distribute their #music. This didn't stop PPU from recording an album in 1974–75 with lyrics mainly taken from Bondy poems. After PPU's 1976 imprisonment, a Czech in London tried to get the album released abroad. It was released in 1978 in France and England, including the track "Toxica." #ThreeMinuteThursday #3MT #Czechia #PragueUnderground https://youtu.be/4X46rmf8534?si=h_ksZ8_9TD1mm2wI

3) With "Gimme Tha Power," originally released in 1997, #Molotov reminds us that "la gente de arriba te detesta" (the people at the top despise you), but also that "el pueblo unido jamás será vencido" (the people united will never be defeated). #ThreeMinuteThursday #3MT #Music #Mexico #VivaMéxicoCabrones #NotActually3Minutes https://youtu.be/_5DeFKlLbL8?si=flTGszwEbb7zM6mU

2) This week's #ThreeMinuteThursday selection is "Somos Sur," a powerful anthem from 2014 for the #GlobalSouth by #AnaTijoux featuring #ShadiaMansour. Both artists were born far from the land of their parents. Tijoux grew up in #France, where her parents had gone from #Chile to escape the #Pinochet dictatorship. The family returned when she was 14. Mansour was born in the #UnitedKingdom to parents who had left occupied #Palestine. #3MT #Music #NotActually3Minutes https://youtu.be/EKGUJXzxNqc?si=i55o3rhO2hMzrgnN
