I'm completely obsessed with "Eternal Return" by Irfan & "Act II: The Invocation" by Dead Can Dance. Incredible vocals on both tracks, but it's the instrumentation I love.
Can anyone suggest other artists or songs to check out?
It was a great honour for me to come to the concert hall to listen to the concert of the Ensemble Dmew - "Chinese Music to World" Series. I was exposed to lots of new playing techniques and broadened my horizon of contemporary music. Meanwhile, it's my first time to meet with those friends of Dmew at offline✌🏼. I wish you all the best in your studies! 非常榮幸能來演奏廳現場聆聽當音室內樂團·世界華樂計劃的音樂會。我在此接觸到了許多新穎的演奏技法,開拓了對當代音樂的視野。同時,這是我首次在線下與當音的諸位朋友會面✌🏼。 祝各位朋友學業順利!
Hi, I didn't know what would be the appropriate subreddit for this post but will give music a shot. As a secular Jew, I have fallen in love with cantorial music. I knew about Klezmer, but I didn't realize my people's religious music contained so much of the soul, beauty, and mystery that's in Indian classical music, gospel and Arab music.
However, I can only find quality recordings of old cantors-I understand this was the cantorial golden age (e.g. Yossele Rosenblatt) but would love to discover more modern (as in postwar or later) and better recorded great cantorial music. I also would just appreciate recommendations for people's favorite Jewish religious and cantor music, even if it is older as I am knew to thus wonderful music.
Thank you :)
Hello dears. I hope this is ok to post here. I am in search of new music recommendations for my very specific taste. AI tools couldnt help me so I have come here. I love music that incorporates or is created around different ethnic instruments, sounds and songs of around the world. It could be an indie take on it, an electronic dance music take on it or a hiphop take on it, it doesn't matter. But I have been struggling to find new pieces that REALLY hit at my heartstrings because that actually doesn't happen often. So please, I beg you, share with me your recommendations that are similar to these couple of songs that hit that ethno spot for me perfectly (hopefully):
Nujabes - Far fowls https://youtu.be/vBgrnc--T-k?si=nu6MJu1QcddKPxHB

Theyve been my favourite band for a while jjst trying to get more people in on the fun!
Hi, there's this video on YouTube by Riz Ahmed called "The Breakup (Shikwa)" and I'm pretty sure it's NFAK's vocals in the background but I dont know what song it is or what the sample music is. Can anyone help me?
It would be a great help as my grandfather is a really big fan of NFAK and asked me to find out the name of the song played in the background. Thanks!

Hello all, have a question related to my own musical performance. I'm working with a vocal coach who wants me to "un-stick" myself from the confines of staying within rhythm too strictly. I suggested that reviewing African or Latin music would be a great place to start. However, I'm not sure what to investigate for vocal-specific improvements. I do have several favorites, such as:
C.K. Mann & His Carousel 7 (Ghana)
El Rego et Seis Commandos (Benin)
Bio Ritmo (Puerto Rico, I think)
Perez Prado (Dominican Republic/Cuba (?))
Lots of different Afro-funk from the 60s and 70s
William Oneyabor (Nigeria)
If anyone could please share some resources, hopefully vocal-specific, that I could use to get started, I (and my audience) would appreciate it! Thank you much.
Does this chorus remind you of anything? https://voca.ro/14gOcprB6HB3
