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;

- 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.

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.

Help identifying a form of Arabic/Mauritanian music?
Toward the end of Ramadan I was in a village in Mauritania, where at night people came together to sing these long religious songs, just vocals and drums. I found them very powerful, and I wanted to know what kind of music this is and whether there are recordings of it out there--maybe someone here can help? Here is a small snippet that I recorded on my phone (with all the songs, they tended to start slow and then the tempo got faster and faster). Thank you!

Dream!) Let’s speak a lil about Ukrainian music🇺🇦
Dream!) Let’s speak a lil about Ukrainian music🇺🇦
Dream: All albums of Skryabin on vinyl I would be more than happy for some good box set of his records
You would ask me, who the hell this Skryabin is?
Kuzma Skryabin, also known as Skryabin, was a prominent Ukrainian musician and singer-songwriter, (he also wrote a couple of nice books, you truly should read them). He was known for his unique blend of rock, pop, and electronic music, as well as his charismatic stage presence.
Skryabin was known for his innovative approach to music production, incorporating electronic elements into his songs long before it became mainstream in Ukraine. This experimental sound set him apart from other artists of his time.
In each period he had music in different genres which showed how he changed over time, and only became even more unique and special.
Skryabin's music often featured meaningful lyrics, socially relevant lyrics and resonated deeply with Ukrainian audiences. He passed away tragically in a car accident in 2015, leaving behind a rich musical legacy.
From what I saw I can say he was one of the most funniest, multi-talented and interesting person I ever heard about.
If you truly love music, you will love him for sure.

WMMusic [Brazil] Bruno Berle - No Reino Dos Afetos 2 (Far Out)
Nice to hear Bruno Berle back on Far Out Records, with another meandering expression of what Brazilian music was, is & could be, albeit with a more organic lean this time round. So jump on the bus as his folk rooted sound expands to fill the possibilities afforded to him; careering through bedroom bossa, jazz & psyche licked samba, autotuned MPB, lo-fi instrumentals, piano led crooning & sweet, heart on sleeve ballads.
