mysteriousss Posted December 25 Report Share Posted December 25 The BEST foreign music I've heard was FRENCH RAP. Holy shit, I couldn't believe how BEAUTIFUL it sounded. Went to an HMV store in Montreal and just stopped as soon as I walked in. I'm not a huge fan of rap although I like some, but daaaaamn that sounded awesome! I'm still kicking my own ass for not buying that cd and not even asking for names of these cd's.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbalist Posted December 25 Report Share Posted December 25 check out Indian Tabla and Sitar players from napster or other web sites and see what you think.Some names: Ravi Shankar...and a bunch of Khan's. No joke there's a whole family of 'em.Check out the insider soundtrack w. Lisa Gerrard from Dead Can dance. She's got the voice from the gods-um-or goddesses I guess.You might also like some West African music...Senegal would be a good starting point, something that can work your ear in slowly, Try a singer named Baaba Maal. He's an amazing artist. Just my .02 worth. Check em out and let me know what you think or want some more leads.H------------------"Money is one thing, but soul is another."

Yes, I've heard his daughter. She played Royce Hall (UCLA campus) about a year-half ago. She's Amazing. She had like the whole family on stage with her. I like world music sections a lot. How 'bout Cuban music? You can try Beuna Vista Social club...Abrahim Ferrer (just jacked up the poor man's name) Celia Cruz, Afro-Cuban All Stars...Fun band = Ozomatli (on the Almo label). WOW! Info overload. Sorry I'm still on night club time and can't sleep a wink tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's Ibrahim Ferrer -- he and all old skool Cuban music is off the hook (though I am partial of course)... also, El Gran Combo and Grupo Niche are off the meter... There's another pretty cool band from Puerto Rico called Plena Libre... and of course, you can't discuss latin music without mentioning the Fania All-Stars... wow.I was at that Rutgers Show - it was Ozomatli and Cherry Poppin' Daddies (definitely not BBVD... these guys had some ska under their belts too, whereas BBVD don't)... Ozomatli is always great... they opened for DMB this passed Summer. I love them and Rusted Root... Cool fusion of arabic music done by a latin rock star: Ojos Asi by Shakira... it's excellent!
