Currently listening to this. I haven't listened to any real music from the Bahamas, only Exuma, but it's quite clear where his inspiration comes from. Honestly, this music is pretty great. Very raw and powerful vocals, often with little or no accompaniment. It also helps that I can actually understand what's being sung, something that's fairly uncommon in traditional music since it's sung in the native tongue of wherever it's from.

I'll make sure to read something on OxMu about Bahamas music, because I really need to learn more about it.

only /trad/ album i listened to this week so far was Ferenc Sebő's Folk Music of Lőrincréve, a collection of Transylvanian Hungarian folk songs. enjoyable, but nothing extraordinary.

Huh? How does this work?

>Connected artists
So King Tubby and Ravi Shankar are /trad/ now?

>>53326891
Well, the group isn't really moderated by me. Personally I would have liked to make a new group for this, but since I'm already in MOTW, might as well just use that.

Or I make a new group? Would anyone care or use it? Doubtful.

>>53326640
Wow, checked Grove Online, and there isn't an entry for Bahamas. This makes me a bit disappointed.

Listening to volume 2 right now, and the first tracks seem to be a bit more bluesy than the first volume. I don't really mind.

well, sorry for not using the correct term there

i'm not exactly sure everyone who might visit this thread knows what "Székely" means though

what's some good music from modern day pakistan

>>53327106
Oh I didn't mind that,I was just more interested in how music could be both Hungarian and Transylvanian at the same time. Isn't Transylvania a region of Romania?

>>53325445
who's that hipster mister?

>>53327198
stalin

>>53327173
it is, since the 1920 Treaty of Trianon. however, a significant Hungarian minority (the Székelys) remains there to this day, still speaking a unique dialect of Hungarian and preserving a cultural (and musical) tradition distinct from both Romanian and "mainland" Hungarian folk culture.

they are also one of the main driving forces of the Transylvanian aspirations of independence.

>speaking a unique dialect of Hungarian
as hungarian wasn't difficult enough already

>>53327436
Trad is an abbreviation of traditional music so music which has been played over a really long time by a custom and folks are the people that play that music and most music in general. It'd be weird to have music not made by folks though I suppose whale song isn't that bad.

Can anyone rec some music from there?

>>53327769
Did you listen to Sundanese Wedding Ceremony? That's the best gamelan I've heard.

>>53327951
cant remember what it was called
>Sundanese Wedding Ceremony
is there a particular album or recording

>>53327436
The difference between irish pub music and appalachian porch music. Or more accurately, the difference between irish pub and Bob Dylan.

Any good traditional Native American?

>>53328029
Yes, by Gentra Pasundan. A lot more stripped back than the gamelan I'm used to.

>>53327301
Oh, that's interesting! Thanks for that information.

The thing is there was once folk music (called traditional folk now) and then other genres started to be influenced by it. Music they played became a lot difrent than its roots. So there was a need to name this new genre. People that were into trad folk called it contemporary folk although this new music became a lot more popular than trad folk and most of the poeple just calles it folk now.

Smithsonian Folkways has an entire collection of CDs dedicated to Indonesia, so you might like that. A shitload of vocal and gamelan, basically.

Id say modern Bahamas music is pretty cool--that is, the stuff they sell at kitschy tourist trap stores--because it's this traditional stuff sort of distilled through a lens of implied western consumerism. Does that make sense? It's "fake," but at the same time it's grounded in a unique and harder-to-swallow /trad/ reality that still sort of shines through. It's just fascinating to me. I'll be honest, I haven't heard much genuinely traditional Bahamian music, but Ive heard a shit ton of what people THINK traditional Bahamian music is. It's an interesting descrepancy.

Also, you asked for me, here I am. Hope i don't sound like an idiot.
