Lately i've been listening to various Latin, Scandinavian, and Bluegrass types of music, and thought it'd be cool to share. These kinds of music consist of various fiddles, flutes, and variations of everything usable to make a grand symphony of Latin beats, hearty Scandinavian vocals, or methodic Bluegrass fiddle. To me, they're much better than today's repetitive and common found music, you know, the kind found on radios?
It seems Europe has a much more advanced cultural music system, and the fact that they're able to be so diverse with their musical tastes baffles me, it's as if conformism doesn't exist within music there! Not to mention the amount of past influence on their music, it's almost as if you're stepping into another time.
Perhaps the most mystical to me is the Latin music, it's absolutely the most dream-walking music i've ever heard, the foreign vocals make me want to memorize them, which I do believe I have, and the...you'll just have to hear it for yourself.
Warning: Slightly NSFW.

The second type, and as said most hearty is the more 'viking' related music i've been listening to, this one consists of a hard guitar background and Norwegian-Dutch vocals telling the story of Vulgaris Magistralis, a historical Viking character.

And the third I was talking about, is a more Irish-feeling Bluegrass consisting of a talented fiddle.

Whether you like them or not, you can notice the culture in each one of these songs, the past seems to directly effect everything now-a-days, just like the U.S being a completely diverse country, yet we cannot seem to solve the reason why we have the same common and repetitive, non-cultural music. Is it because we're so diverse? You would think that'd make us have diverse music.
P.S Hi.
I most definitely like the Latin song. It's quite peaceful. I also love how the lyrics in the drop bar translate to "The wave reaches you and leads you down into the depths. Likewise you are the wave." That makes it sound melodic. Also, science is boring without you!
ReplyDeleteHey it's Dylan! I agree that Latin music is amazing. There is something about it that is captivating. Maybe because I am Latino. You should listen to Latin jazz. It's addicting.
ReplyDeleteDylan-
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you. Hope all is well, and glad you hear you are getting a hold of some good music, wherever you are! PS: Check out Flogging Molly for a harder twist on the Irish vibe. : )
I agree Dejahh, and Josue it's not exactly Latino music, Latin refers to the italic language used in ancient Rome. Awesome to hear from all of you, and i'll check Flogging Molly out :D
ReplyDeleteIt is related. Spanish comes from Latin.
ReplyDeleteMost of everything is from Latin, if you can trust Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin :)
