Here's the tiny library I have on this computer, feel free to request anything from it and I will upload it.


I wish I had my portably HDD with me that has a bunch more music.

>>53158499
I've been listening to Le Mystère Des Voix Bulgares (just then in fact), and loving it

last thread (full of mega links including what I've been listening to)
https://rbt.asia/mu/thread/S53078748

I went through all the bulgarian instruments and learned a bit about them. there's something so mournful about their vocal music and microtonal melodic lines

Just noticed that the bibliography, article and recording lists now have links to borrow the items through the university library. That might come in handy, I could borrow some CDs and rip them.

damn this is cool as fuck. Is that background noise crickets and frogs? or is it just there to make it feel more "authentic"?

>>53160814
pretty sure its just natural background noise. if you look through that YT channel theres a bunch of other african traditional music from different parts of africa. pretty cool stuff

>>53158514

>>53160694

It's this series of CDs.

I try and keep it real, I'm developing my knowledge of the corpus of English folk music currently. It's sad that it suffers from such an uncool image but idgaf one day morris dancing will be cool.

>>53160899
cool song thanks. it's not really klezmer but still pretty nice downloading it right now.

>>53160929
all of these seem interesting. could you maybe upload the first one?

i wanna get into yiddish music

any tips

>>53160973
if you're looking for something instrumental, check out Meyn Shtetel Yas from Odessa Klezmer Orkesta. if you're okay with klezmer/jazz hybrids, listen to Golem On The Moon by Yomguih & Denis Cuniot.

(i can upload these 2 if necessary)

>>53160983
Absolutely!

What are ya'lls opinion on the Nonesuch Explorer series? There's a collage on what.cd and I'm considering just grabbing everything because it looks amazing. I might have a few of them downloaded at home already, but I'm not sure.

I even made a birthday thread for you on Aug 15th but noone cared sorry for that.

Yeah, being a normie sucks balls. Also it's difficult being a normie with nofrendz. I'm not really "back", I think. At least right now, it's only temporary.

Do you guys like traditional Japanese music?

I'm a huge fan of Misaki Iwasa...

Here's one of her tracks from last year:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoXVLx1DtpU

I find it extremely refreshing to hear younger people carrying on the traditions from their elders.

>>53161702
Gf, yes. Quit my job, finished my high school shit. Now waiting for university applications.

It's alright I guess, but I was supposed to enter uni last year already.

>>53161365
you have see: >>53160722

I have a couple of this albums, would download everything but don't have what.cd and I don't have the time to search for every single album

>>53158499
or how about when people from one culture fall in love with another, enough to embrace their traditional art forms.

A great example of this is Jero.

Jero is a black man from Pittsburg who studied Japanese throughout highschool and college.

When he got his big break in Japan, he fully embraced their culture and has become one of the most revered Enka singers in Japan.

why is this so good

>>53160957
Morris Dancing has always been cool

Also, if anyone's interested, here's an instrumental album by a Scottish band. It's not all Scottish though, there's a miscellany. Not all traditional either.

>>53161742
How old are you now

>>53161843
That would be really great

>>53161897
Way too old to not be in university already. If I had started at 19 or 20 like most people do, I would have my masters by now.

Why is Irish music so underrated?

>>53161974
is it? irish and scotish music are the first to come to my mind when someone talks about traditional music

>>53161921
Yeah, I'll probably do that. I'll at the very least download everything, and if my programs work as I think they do I'll convert everything to V0 and upload to mega cons (I think you can upload entire folders at once)? I'm on a 100/100 connection right now, so it shouldn't be too much effort really.

>>53162017
Well, no-one here has heard of bands that are well-known in the British folk scene

>>53161922
Don't worry many people in my CS course are 30 and above.
>inb4 >CS

>>53162068
>>>>>>CS

Yeah, but how many of those 30 year old people are actually hanging out with you on parties and shit? I wanna make friends, not just study. Either way, I'm hoping to get into a medical program, where the average age is a bit higher. Probably won't, tho

>>53162064
Depends how trad you go. People here probably know Bellowhead, but might not know Magpie Lane

>>53161476
NOT Hampus.

>just a fairly well done bioTroll

>>53162173
I mainly know bands from festivals, but I guess they aren't that well known in the US. I love bands like Kan, Lau, Mabon, Session A9 (the mega link), Flook, things like that. Whenever I try to bring them up, there's no interest. Not even for Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham :l

>>53162051
I would really love you for that. I think you can do that with folders, I've never tried it though

>>53162064

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking. The people in medical programs seem a bit more mature than people from the other programs I've been hanging out with.

>>53162262
I love Lau
I also like Mabon and I think I've heard about Kan, but I'm not sure

>>53162311
either they're mature or it's because a lot of people don't pass their exams, so they're older. At my uni it hapens so often it's actually considered normal to be 30 and still studying

Seriously though noone cares about that and I'm on pretty good terms with some of the older ones. Plus you're 25 I guess? Most people in uni are around that age aren't they? I think you'll be fine.

>>53158514
Could you upload the rough guide to the music of the sahara? That sounds tight.

>>53162537
>tfw buying "high brow" literature and listening to avant-garde music and watching experimental films only because you want to be an intellectual

>>53162571
Most people in uni here in Sweden are between 19 and 23 or so. Most only do a bachelors degree (3 years), and start as soon as they graduate high school or a year after. Starting uni at 25 is actually fairly uncommon.

I don't want to be in school when I'm 30, but the only option for me at this point is not to go to school at all then.

>>53162482
Nice, thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one

Yea sure, give me a moment.

I might have to rush off in a minute or two, but in that case I'll be back later with the upload.

>>53160899
holy shit that song is cool as fuck

Intellectualism is overrated as shit.
But we need at least some actual intellectuals, just so they can tell intellectual-wannabees to stop trying so goddamn hard, that it's not worth it and that it makes them sound dumb as shit. Cause who else is gonna tell them? Stereotypical jocks? Those barely exist anymore and will never be taken seriously.
Let's all be jocks, it's the best for all of us.

>>53161395
awesome

>>53162675
Yeah, that's why I regularly haul 50€ worth of books home on an impulse

>>53162686
Honestly, the idea of "trying too hard" is dumb as shit. Try as hard as you can, the only thing that can happen is that you learn and better yourself.

I'm willing to blame at least a third of all my problems on anti-intellectualism, making me try to fit in with the "cool kids" instead of learning things in school.

>>53162675
>>53162612
Will post upload a bit later, gotta go for dinner now.

>>53162619
that song is so nice,
did they release only one album?

>>53162801
Yeah, just one, and they split recently. They all went back to their original bands, and this is the flautist's band (many lovely tunes in their repertoire)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2j3lJvoXWo&list=PLEE143DDACBDCF750

He also released a 'solo' album which is really nice.

>>53162780
>Try as hard as you can, the only thing that can happen is that you learn and better yourself

If by "bettering yourself" you mean "spiraling in a self-destructive and vacuous lifestyle made of shallow ego boosts and cluttering of your mind with useless information" then I guess you're right.

Intellectualism is unhealthy. It saps the will and the sense of self, and essentially turns the intellect into a parasite of the body, when the intellect and the body shouldn't be separate in the first place. It's very trendy nowadays but that doesn't make it a valid life choice.

>>53162017
But nobody posts it. Which is a damn shame, since it's such rich and vibrant music.

This. Using your natural intellect appropriately and intellectualism are two separate things. Neurosis is a cancer in society.

Just recently listened through the Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music. Going to listen to extra fourth volume some time soon.

Anyone else love the Secret Museum of Mankind series by Pat Conte? Anyone know any similarly weird and magical world music compilations?
