Progetto (Italy) Marina

some time ago, I wrote a folk group Italian distributing their music for free. Now I found another group, also folk, Italian and Creative Commons license, which made me the ass Pepsi Christmas. called Progetto Migala and although they speak of ethno-musical journey through Africa, the Mediterranean and Ireland, it seems to me that make a fairly pure folklore. In addition, nasal voice type singer Eros Ramazzotti I think a real success. Currently only available for download two singles (which I have you put into the podcast and this other ), both very good, so hopefully that will soon be encouraged and check out new songs for us folk-eating Italian.

Mustafaev - Moj Izbranij

I will do as I dedicate some time to blog, as if my career would allow me to be caught in the net, and I'll upload a video of a singer Dagestan (adjective = "Dagestani?) called Marina Mustafaev. I find it curious two reasons: the first is the name of the artist, a curious mixture of Russian and Islamic cultures, "Sovietized" a name by adding the suffix Mustafa -eva. Russian surnames reflect the gender of the wearer. Have not you noticed that all the players pretty Russian ending-ov to ? For example, Anna's brothers are 'Kournikova' and sisters and herself, "Kournikova." Therefore, this singer should be the daughter of one Mustafaev ... I know what you're thinking: that I say pa brag. Yes.

The other thing is the video itself. Never, I say NEVER, I have seen a mix so rare among the traditional-dances and costumes are traditional and most pillbox-style Mix Ibiza. Note: just bizarre tasting cigar.

Let's yodel! Putumayo Presents Spain

This August I spent a few days in Switzerland, the Alpine country, chocolate, cows and secret accounts and, as always try my trip, I brought a sample of popular music: three CDs for just over € 13 in total. It's funny because one of the groups that appeared in the compilation ( Ursprung Buam , recognizable because one member has a face ... say ... "recognizable") had seen the day before on Swiss television.

One of the things that struck me on these discs is that they place great emphasis on the yodel, an alpine ridge, but also occurs in other cultures. This rapid change in the tone of voice, creating a very particular melody. The song is widely known, among other things, appear in The Sound of Music or the opening of the Heidi-the famous series "Grandpa tell me your " -. Erroneously, this style is often only narrow the Austrian Tyrol, but the truth is characteristic of the Alps in general.

Here's another enlightening video

He has been very important in the development of other genres like country. In the U.S., most non-Hispanic white population is ethnically Germanic origin. The mixture of Germanic cultures (whose biggest contribution to this style possibly is the "jodel"), Celtic, African and native led the old time music, country base. Here are some examples of American jodel:

Now that you know the name you have no excuses , no phone calls " iolorei " or " ondeleio " Speak properly, call it yodel.

What Colours Go With Stone

Attention, fans of Putumayo : track on news websites, I saw that the label will release on 29 September this year " Spain " , a compilation with the best current country music de Cervantes. They do a real tour of the cultural wealth of this country, with modern songs and other traditional touches. Galicia, Catalonia, Aragon, Extremadura ...

addition, as many know, Putumayo always includes a recipe typical of the area on each disc, and this time they have chosen a recipe ... Karlos Arguiñano! What Uncle bigger! Although presumably not include their jokes ... corrected himself: They should make a mistake or something, because I have changed and now the recipe seems to be his sister Eva Arguiñano (although you can not trust, because until you have the last name misspelled).
