On this week’s journey, we will explore the beautiful sounds of Cambodia, and pay homage to the thriving music scene that was destroyed by the Communist government of the late 70s. May their songs live on and provide inspiration for the rest of us. Music should be freed.
Music
Canada of South America
We are taking a trip to visit a true South American oddity: the English-speaking, Co-operative Republic of Guyana. Let this provide you with an outlandish introduction to our Commonwealth brother:
Nordic/Baltic? Bizarre/Blissful!
Let the stereo typecasts and contradictions continue forever & never! Estonia lies on the cusp of incognition, not quite Nordic, and also not much like the other Baltic nations to the south… They are a surprisingly progressive nation just doing their thing and reaping the rewards of hovering below the world radar.
But guess what Estonia… WE SEE YOU! And yes, you are just as freaky as your Finnish brethren across the gulf. Thank the Norse Gods! Jolly accordions, synthesizers from deep space, cellos of catharsis, kannel harps, warped guitar wonkerings… We barely know you but it could be true love. Open ears to the sky.
Musiki wa dansi for the masses!
This week’s magical sonic diversion will bring us to Tanzania, an East African nation with an incredibly wide array of styles and traditions. West African music is much better known on an international scale, but the far side of this rhythmically rich continent reveals hidden treasures aplenty. Classical Arabic Taarab music, dansi music aplenty, bongo flava…
Will the surprises never end? Love to all of humanity, and thank you for the music.
Journey to Bengal
We will be traveling to Bangladesh this week! Lucky for us, we have an ambassador willing to take us into the hidden back alleys of local flavour. The details of this trip remain shrouded in mystery…
