In the 90s especially and for some of the 00s I was very into world music. The band that really piqued my interest was Juluka from South Africa, an interracial group that existed during the apartheid era and, to a leser extent, the follow on group Savuka. Sadly their leader Johnny Clegg recently died of pancreatic cancer but his musical legacy will live forever More later |

I know he's British, but Ian Anderson (and Jethro Tull) after touring India for the first time with Jethro Tull was influenced so much that he (and they released) 2 world music inspired albums in the same year (1995): 1. Roots To Branches http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=2043" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=2043 2. Twelve Dances With God http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=3809" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=3809 The vocals are less than great on Roots, but most of the music is superb. World (Rock) Music. As for Twelve Dances...Anderson doesn't sing, which is what he should have done for the past 25 years! To me it is a masterpiece, and Andy Giddings' contribution on keyboards is monumental. World (Classical) Music. |

Hi, Strange to see Alan Stivell mentioned here in this particular spot ... I always thought he fit better in a "progressive' context, since he mixes, jazz, rock, classical and the traditional so well, and beautifully so ... and "Pop Plinn" is sort of the rock version of his style ... but the saddest thing of all, is that he is not remembered as "Celtic" ... because we think that Enya invented it ... and a Frenchman can not be Celtic ... though most of the Celts in France were almost wiped out by the French courts (if I am interpreting that correctly!) ... while the one up north, managed to survive ... but the French version became better defined as "Breton" (from Brittany), which kinda changes the outlook of it. But there are other things I listen to ... OREGON, the band has a lot of World Music in its catalog and I am thinking (don't have the stuff!) that Glen Moore and many of those folks, even if in ECM, were involved in a lot of what became known as "World Music" ... by the way they put things together and matched up different musical elements ... Little Wolf Band ... Tulku and others that showed up in a label called "Triloka" 30 years ago, had some really far out stuff, and it was experimental, but mostly ... it was folks from a lot of different places around the world ... Ali Akbar Khan, Jai Uttal, Jeff Beal are some of the folks I found listed ... although it looks like some of this stuff might not be easy to get ... but at least Tulku and Little Wolf Band ... are worth having in your collection ... all of these are far out! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

I saw a Tuvan singing group at the Richmond Folk Festival last year. It was great. Then a month later saw the Hu (Mongolian folk metal). They incorporate throat singing in their music. I recommend the documentary Ghengis Blues, about a blind blues artist who teaches himself to sing in that style. |

When that album came out, of what I still think it a great film, the first thing I did was go after the names listed here ... and making sure I did not look at all the others, who had already been there. Some of the folks listed, were already widely known in their circles, although their inclusion here, was a bit ... a nice gesture ... but I don't think it was for their musicality. As an example, I had a complete Jon Hassell by that time, as I had the listing of folks that were released through Eno's workshop. But "world music" was already there, and I had already included about 20 or 30 Hindu folks in my listing 10 years before PG woke up from his slumber! It had started for me, when Ravi Shankar all of a sudden is plying with everyone in America, regardless of what kind of music it was ... and his family/school is HUGE! The other grouping is the German link in "krautrock" via Agitation Free and others, and a few of the folks that were involved in it that were from other places ... something that we were not used to before ... but even though AF is mostly electronic, it has threads of world music as inspiration and side effects which for me kinda ruined things ... I wanted to hear more of it. There were others ... and various bands that had the mix of unusual instruments and material from elsewhere ... a search from bands from India will also get you a huge listing ... although I am not sure that a lot of it will be listed here. Another example ... Sheila Chandra ... been listening to her for almost 40 years, and following the musicians around her ... It all depends on how open you are to different material ... this stuff has been there for many years ... but as an article in a place of music, it all seems like new, different music, when in fact it is older than the stuff that we listen to ... the hybrid mixes in Brazil, Argentina and Chile ... are insanely good, but no one looks at them as "world music"! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

AWESOME albums/suggestions, Steve! I love the Passion sources, soundtrack and film. I concur with Pedro here: way before John Coltrane, The Beatles, Agitation Free, John McLaughlin, or Peter Gabriel and Micky Hart were coopting sounds, styles, ideas, and artists from outside the borders of their own countries there has been music. I remember feeling quite embarrassed for Peter Gabriel when I bought his first W.O.M.A.D. album to help raise money for his new "annual" music festival: many of the songs were so feebly influenced or representative of the music (and dancing) of the "world." I cringe to think of all of the music we're ignorant to from the traditions and explorations of the 7 billion people who aren't from the U.S. or U.K.--as well as to the number of bands that water down their own traditional music thanks to the forms and marketing constructs dictated by the Westernization of the world. Still, I am grateful to know the musics of bands like Los Jaivas and Antônio Carlos Jobim, Bob Marley and Reuben Blades, Fela Kuti and King Sunny Adé, Samite, Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn, Adam Planck, Shakti, Sheila Chandra, Usted Ali Akbar Khan, OOIOO, Anda Union, Olga Kharitidi, Glen Velez and R. Carlos Nakai, Huong Thanh and so many others who have been accepted and promoted in my native US. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

I have never liked the term 'world music', because it puts into one box many different kinds of music that have absolutely nothing in common. Also, it very much reflects a West-centric kind of viewpoint. For the same reason I also feel uncomfortable about the term 'ethno'. Besides, all the music in the world is world music.
