Well, as you are asking, Ayn, I'd personally say that a song by L Cohen could go in a thread dedicated to L Cohen

Mind you, I notice that Janszoon put his L Cohen thread in MB's "General Music" section, which I suppose is one way to side-step any category doubts that people have.

Thanks for posting this great track - what a voice Oum has! I would 100% call this "world music", so I'm not sure why you have a doubt about that.

If you like some of the sounds coming out of Morocco, you might enjoy the group, Nass Marrakesh. In this clip there are two tracks, each with its own mood, its own type of beauty. First track might appeal if you like a bit hypnotic chanting (to which I plead guilty). Second track is a rambling song with a delicate touch of jazz, the kind of thing you can settle into and then hope it goes on forever:

I first heard this music in Syria many decades ago before the country was torn apart. Maybe some of it survives ?

Thanks for the links. The first track is indeed hypnotic - love to know what the words are but can’t find them anywhere on the web. The track with piano jolted me given the piano’s key appeared to be slightly different from the vocalist’s. My problem is I’m possessed with (cursed with?) perfect pitch.

Ah, so much music, so little time. A friend recently pointed out to me my classical LP collection is so large I’d be dead before I get to listen to all of it from beginning to end. But hey, whatever mood I’m in there’s something there. Strange thing I’m never in a mood for Wagner anymore. Must have been an hysterical youth thing.

Glad you liked the Nass Marrakesh tracks. That thing about the different key completely passed me by as I just don't hear these things at all.

Yes, all that high drama in Wagner makes him for me a rep of all the things I don't like about classical music. A much more pleasant experience for me was your Quieter Than Silence clip, although I took a break from it after about 30 mins.

EDIT: interesting drum solo starts at 38 mins in, but at six mins long, like almost every drum solo known to man, it takes us from admiration to boredom to impatience. Is that the secret agenda that all drummers work to, I wonder?

Drum solos more often than not appear to be no more than a demonstration of technical skill which I suspect is what most audiences are applauding. The equivalent of a musical circus act. BUT styles such as traditional Indian drum solos are a very different story.

Not folky in the least on this one but Raja Kirik have reinterpreted traditional Javanese aesthetics on this research project turned electronic duo.

Interesting .Make great background music for a movie. There are some jarring moments though when the ’space’ this appears to be recorded in jumps around disconcertingly, or for some musicians simply vanishes.
