Hey /mu/, after a little advice. There's a particular style of music that I really like, and I'm desperately trying to find more, but I can't pin it down. I'm guessing it must have a name because it's quite a distinct style, but I'm going to have trouble giving examples.
It's kinda bluesy, but it's kind of a particular South American style. The most mainstream example, though it's not spot on, is the music (but not the vocals) of Red Right Hand by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. A better example (though again without the vocals) is a track called The Princess by Parov Stelar, which recently featured in a car advert.
It's hard to pin down because it's not a particular quality that qualifies it, more a vibe or a feel. Though obscure af, the best example is the music that accompanied an old cancelled tv show from the 90s called American Gothic (pic related). I've actually tried tracking down the music to that, but with no luck.
Can you help me /mu/?

For a little elaboration, it wouldn't be out of place for this music to have a gospel-style choir involved too, but it's not gospel blues I already checked that out. Piano is nearly always involved.
Another example I've come across recently, which certainly has elements of what I'm looking for, but isn't quite right, is a track called Don't Ever Let Nobody Drag Your Spirit Down by Eric Bibb (ft. Maria Mildaur and Rory Block).
It's definitely a slower style, slow and soulful, not in the least bit 'upbeat'. I'm hoping someone here who knows their stuff can point me in the right direction!
