My band Vox Vulgaris just released a new track, slightly different from our usual #medieval #folk #music.
It's a remix/rework on IT'S ON U by the electro-punk-rap group Nora Sharks feat. Luthando Sound, released as the B-side of their single.

We basically replaced their electronic production with our own traditional, acoustic instruments: two kinds of #bagpipes, recorder, tzouras, buisine, davul, qraqeb... and then we put their rappers back on top of it.
I think we arrived at a rather unconventional sound!

“From the plaintive melodies and deep drones of the great Highland bagpipe, to the unique double chanter harmonies of the Italian zampogna, bagpipes have particular timbral qualities that lend themselves to folk traditions and experimental music alike.”

The Scottish Bagpipe: Political and Religious Symbolism in English Literature and Satire - The Bottle Imp

If you try typing the word ‘bagpipe’ in Google Images, you might be forgiven for assuming the bagpipe world extends little beyond Scotland. Out of the first fifty images, only two show non-Highland bagpipes. This is indeed a culturally interesting detail, since there are hundreds of different kinds of bagpipe in the world — from […]
