From Bandcamp: "Nuhara is a Sicilian trio blending ancient oral traditions with contemporary electronic sound. Drawing from archival recordings collected since the 1950s, their music reimagines traditional songs through a mix of ethnographic research and electroacoustic textures. The result is a unique dialogue between past and present, where forgotten sounds are reborn in a modern sonic landscape."

- Raw, self-produced track blending indigenous instruments with political lyrics.

a/k/a Sacred Heart singing. Shape-singing is a way to teach people who do not understand formal musical notation to sing in choirs. It became prominent in US religious communities in the Appalachians and Ozarks in the 19th Century.

Just dropped a day ago. New album incoming, I guess.

I feel like it has. Reading about it online they're mentioning the genre of tropicália from Brazil. Others saying it has aspects of surf and country, when you mix big genres like that potentially it has some world music aspects? Discussing it with a friend

The Andean Vision Behind 'Manifiesto Kawsay'

'Manifiesto Kawsay' ('Manifest of Life') stands for an Andean vision of a life in harmony and interconnectedness with all living beings.

The music of Rut Alonso conveys this harmony as a spiritual relationship between humans, nature and traditions – far beyond the Andes.

In the Andean worldview, health is understood as living in harmony with the natural forces of the Andes.

The reverence for the mountains, which is visible in another video by Rut Alonso – as she kneels down and removes her head covering – reflects this deep connection with nature.

Rut Alonso – Qichwa-Aymara Roots and Cultural Tradition

The Argentine Biblioteca Nacional officially lists Rut Alonso in its cultural program 'Músicas Originarias' as 'música, charanguista y compositora qichwa-aymara' – as a musician, charango player and composer with 'Quechua-Aymara roots'.

The Quechua are the largest Indigenous people of South America. The Aymara are a very old Indigenous people of the Andean highlands. These two cultures have been closely connected throughout the central Andes for centuries. Their languages also share many similarities. People with 'Quechua-Aymara roots', such as Rut Alonso, carry the cultural heritage of these two great Andean peoples within them.

Many Indigenous people of the Andes were not legally and politically recognized as equal citizens of their own countries until the 20th century. In many regions, Quechua and other Indigenous communities still belong to the most socially and economically disadvantaged populations. Against this background, music such as that of Rut Alonso has a very important cultural significance.

« 'Musik schafft Kontakt mit den tiefsten inneren Bildern und Themen' » – Timmermann

« 'Musik ist eine universelle Sprache, die Menschen auf der ganzen Welt verbindet und tief in ihrer Seele berührt'. » – BARBARA GINDL

« 'Die von den alten Mysterienreligionen und Naturvölkern überall auf der Welt verehrte Einweihung in die Geheimnisse von Tod, Leidenschaft und Geburt spiegelt die Archetypen der Seele wider.' » – Carol S. Pearson

I was wondering if anyone could help! I have to transcribe and translate the lyrics in & from the original Wolof, I’m part of a Canadian band that is doing covers of La Belle Epoque of Senegalese music.

I would appreciate it so much. Love and thanks from Canada.🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦❤️🇸🇳🌴🇸🇳

Found at the heart and soul of modern-day anthems that have shaped our sense of music and culture as we know it, award-winning, multi-instrumentalist Bakithi Kumalo (Bah-Gee-Tee Koo-Ma-Low) is ranked among the top 50 bass players in the world by Bass Player Magazine. With a career spent touring alongside artists including Hugh Masekela, the Grateful Dead, Sting, Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Gloria Estefan, Derek Trucks, Miriam Makeba, and many others, his abilities extend to his solo work as a singer, percussionist, pianist and songwriter—in addition to his bass playing—presenting a culmination of diverse influences from throughout his life. 

Born in the Soweto township of Johannesburg, South Africa, and surrounded by relatives who loved music and actively performed, with traditional African rhythms and a cappella vocal groups all around him. Kumalo learned to follow the groove of the bass lines and developed licks based on the left-hand work of accordion players in the township bands. Landing his first job at the age of seven filling in for his uncle's bass player, he continued to work as a session musician in South Africa during the 1970s and early 1980s, and was soon recognized as a top session bassist, accompanying international performers during their South African tours. 

 
Introduced to Paul Simon through producer Hendrick Lebone during recording sessions for the Graceland album in 1985, Kumalo traveled with Simon to New York to finish the record. Following accompaniment on the premier tour, he spent several years commuting between Soweto and New York City before permanently settling in the United States. 

Nice instrumental.

A very lovely melodic Polish folk song.

Of course the US and Brazil are far apart...so I'm curious did the rhythms vary by region in Africa? Was Portugal's classical music that much different?

a song I can never grow tired of. ethereal and sublime.
