Subreddit Rules

1) reddiquette is required

Trolling, insults, or antagonism towards the subreddit participants, the moderators, or even the community itself may result in a ban. Discuss and express opinions about our topic but avoid making attacks / disparaging remarks. Due to site rules, site content policy, and that reddiquette is a rule here, we extend the rules against brigading to also mean; DO NOT encourage others to brigade a post / comment / account / person. Suggestions of "go check out their history" WILL be removed. Repeat suggestions/implications to do so will result in a ban.

2) No mixtape / compilations

Mixtape and Compilation submissions are too often spam / promotion attempts, mix regions, and override the point of the post format intent for sharing region of origin and artist / song information.

3) Posting Format

Post submissions should use one of the following formats;

  • music posts: WMMusic [ONE Country/Region] Artist - Song (any other comments)
  • news posts: WMNews - Title
  • event posts: WMEvent [Country/Region] Date of Event - Event Title
  • artist info posts: WMArtist Artist Name - Title

If practicable use the name of the country/region eg China not Chinese. This will make it easier to search. It should only state ONE country or region which best identifies either the music source or the location of the recording.

Posts not using the proper format may be removed

4) Self-promotion is restricted

Post attempts will result in a removal and ban which come from accounts showing sole or predominant use to promote an artist, group, site, service, survey, market research, kickstarter or other fundraising, video or audio channel, or social media account. You MUST submit a variety of sources / artists here. A 10:1 ratio is required, meaning you must submit 10 posts to content which you not are affiliated with before each time you submit something you are affiliated with. No exceptions.

african/soca/calypso/Soundway records *song identification* a song asking not to be served yam and plantain (?) on the same plate due to the fact it is an inappropriate ingredient pairing

bear with me 🙈

i have been listening to a *lot* of different music in the past 6 months

somewhere in amoungst this i have a memory of listening to a song fitting this description, which i while i realise it is a little vague, there must surely be only one song satisfying this condition!

the song ends up with a long spoken monologue centred around a complaint that the protagonist is being served vegetables that are too similar in qualities and as such should not be paired. they look the same, they taste the same, they are the same colour. innapproriate. my memory is that these vegetables are yam and plantain, but it could equally be cassava maybe, or even banana although i think i am clutching at straws there

so hive mind, if you are still active please make my dream come true and identify this song for me!

i have tried everything else i can think of. let me tell you there is no end to the amount of songs about banana and plantain i have had to endure which consist entirely of young men expounding the qualitative superiority of their examples these fruits. on a positive note, this unfortunate experience is providing me incentive to finally exact a watershed moment in my organisational practices. 🍌

many thanks

ps. any other suggestions on where to ask or how to find it would be also welcome <33

In what order should the oud be restrung?

I play the oud and this is the only guide (in English) I've found that shows what order you should restring the 11 strings for the oud. I think this method has given me trouble with strings crossing and tension.

Can anyone help answer this question by sharing some resources or your own knowledge? Thanks!

Can Music Save this Endangered Language?

Garifuna music looks pretty interesting. Some of their other music sounds great:

Why does this Finnish song sound Bulgarian?

So I like Bulgarian choral music, for example Kafal Sviri: https://youtu.be/hVqrW-fPOQ0?si=8DXFAxU_HQ0lRZA0

And I came across this other song that reminded me so much of Bulgarian music, but I looked it up and it’s from Finland! https://youtu.be/aX4EiTnTIZA?si=FBfsNtqK2BJnPHso (Käppee by Värttinä particularly from timestamp 1:05)

They share the close harmony and particular tone. I’m just wondering if anyone can tell me more about this musical style, is it common in other areas of the world as well? Is this dissonant or close harmony also common in Finnish folk music, or is it a particular style of this artist?

And this https://youtu.be/yc8s5_rzNzs?si=8PqK8Tf6Q4iL8LR3 sounds like Ievan Polka (Finnish) and Kafal Sviri (Bulgarian) had a close acquaintance!

(Also I’m Australian so the distance between Finland and Bulgaria is like me driving from my home town to the northernmost part of my country and so like that’s one country’s distance to me but I imagine for Europe there’s massively different cultures across that amount of space?!)

Gimme the essential albums.

I want to get into the genre, but this community it´s just too niche.

If you can pass me the youtube links, but any site where I can download them is ok.
