Try this. The music is called 'sevdah', from south east Balkan. Very specific form. Kind of 'blues', not by form, but by feeling. If you like it, will tell you more. This is the same song, played by two very different singers https://youtu.be/iBbN86O3r8M https://youtu.be/P7OecIOkA_Y |
Definitely agree with Mapman's recommendation for the Putumaya label; they have some great discs that will take you 'round the world. Some other favorites; - Habib Koite & Bamada "Foly", great live album to boot, several other albums by Habib Koite & Bamada, email me for details... - another vote for various Dead Can Dance CDs - Some of Brendan Perry's (from DCD) solo work - "Samsara" and a few others by Lisa Gerrard (also from DCD) - Several discs from Trilok Gurtu - Several discs including "Global House", "Link", "Visual" and "Bridge" from Oystein Sevag - "DAFOS", "Global Drum Project" and "YAMANTAKA" by Mickey Hart - "Tathagata" by He Xun Tian - "Sister Drum" and "Seven Days" by Dadawa - various Jon Hassell albums ("Dream Theory in Malaya", "Hollow Bamboo", " Maarifa Street" and "Possible Musics" (with Brian Eno).... I'll be glad to discuss more specifics on these and other albums either on or off-line... |
