Found another cool bit of culture from southern Algeria. To participate in something like that would have to be trance inducing.

More cultural awesomeness from Algeria

Just discovered another amazing bit of culture from the Adrar region of Southern Algeria. I’d like to know more about this tradition. Looks fun as hell. The polyrhythms with the clapping remi…

Kinda proud of this one. More people ought to know about the Cedar Choppers of Central Texas. I still miss the days when they ruled the cedar brakes of the #TexasHillCountry.

New rabbit hole: Algerian music. It's going to be a challenge as I don't know Arabic. If anyone knows more about this singer and her type of music, let me know. I love what #rai music I've heard, but I love this traditional music.

Stories, musings and whatever I happen to be into at the moment.

I've been going down a Polka and Polish music rabbit hole for some reason. I grew up in a part of Texas where there were people who still listened to it. I knew kids whose grandparents didn't speak English, because they only spoke Polish, German or Czech. And were born in Texas. Time I showed my appreciation. https://lateboomersden.wordpress.com/2023/02/06/surprise-discovery-polka-is-cool-part-1/

I have loved every genre of #AfricanMusic I've heard, but #Senegal is on my mind at the moment. #PeterGabriel turned me onto #BaabaMaal and I took it from there. It's a treasure house of great music. Baaba Maal's solo work is great, but the Baaba Maal/Mansour Seck album Djam Leelii is especially magical. https://open.spotify.com/album/3fI60xJqLkfhnbAf907JsS?si=Z_8iPDBGQk2oyXluhrD0sQ&utm_source=copy-link

Beautiful, sad song I discovered through the beautiful, sad movie #ColdWar. It reignited my appreciation for "classical" versions of #WorldFolk. I usually go for the nitty gritty stuff or groups that fuse folk and modern popular music. There's more than one way to preserve a #culture. #Mazowsze,#Poland, #WorldMusic, #FolkMusic

A coworker turned me onto Middle Eastern ensemble music in the 90s. I didn't realize until recently that there were versions of those in #Africa outside of Egypt. Discovered there is a similar musical culture in #Zanzibar. One of my favorite musical rabbit holes.
