I normally don't like new music; I'm more old delta blues and classic rock, but this band caught my ear about two years ago. A friend and I were recently talking about taking respite from turbulent times, emotional and otherwise. Love her voice. Great song. |

Look her up on youtube, she is an amazing multi-talented musician, this is only one thing she does.
(first fret-less banjo I've seen, by the way).
Oh, and she's an opera singer as well! As seen in this docu.

Bought their CD from the venue to support them. Great stuff!! |

If you can handle the Middle Eastern flow of their music, these guys (and gal) are very much worse taking a look at on the Tube. They have
a great number of videos up. (and she's pretty to watch {evil grin}
Nice to see there are still some young people out there who care about crossing cultural and national borders. <3

In my mid-20s I was working with (political) refugees - most of them from West Africa. I learned the complex rhythms of their music.
This is not what I used to be exposed to, but it's very similar, similar enough for me to have just listened to an hour of this group.
With great enjoyment.

I debated posting this one, but will anyway. I grew up with this kind of music and a mom and dad who would dance together often, hold hands, cruise in the jet boat till 1 am listening to music together, etc. Towards the end of my first marriage, the very music I grew up with hurt my soul so so so bad. My ex would say, "That's all a fairy tale, like cheesy romantic novels, it's not real life." He was wrong. He was SO WRONG. Yes, it's a cheesy song, but it's not a fairy tale.  I heard this song on my way home from work yesterday (on a station that usually plays new country, not old) and I thought, "Mom and Dad".. and didn't feel hurt this time, I felt love. |

That kind of music always makes me tear up. Indian Flute music, too. Very rich. |

That's a real flashback! When I moved from Colorado to Minnesota to attend the University of Minnesota in 1987 I had packed all of my cassettes and couldn't get to them. The only thing I had to listen to was a Ronnie Milsap tape, all the way from Colorado to Minnesota in my 1955 Mercury...just me and Ronnie. Thanks for that memory. |

tamara68, that first Hooverphonic (musical vacuums??) song reminded me of this collection of "electro swing" ... a neat fusion of 1920's style with modern:

DryCreek I love electro swing, I have listened to that first song many times! I love the dancing in this video. It has cheered me up a lot of times.
