Anyone interested in world music?


John McLaughlin with Shiv Kumar Sharma. What an interesting and sophisticated performance.

Ha! This is cool! She is pretty good. Again, better musicians needed, much better. Those guys just..well, that's not how you play fandango.
Alexatpos, thank you for the links. The Amira Medunjanin clip is some of the most beautiful and heartfelt singing that I have heard in a while; I will have to check out her recordings. Interesting how she ends the song (compared to the other rendition you posted). She and the band don't resolve the harmony and they end on the dominant chord which adds to the emotional feeling of the song and gives a sense of unease at the very end. She is a wonderful singer.

Inna, that clip of Camaron (shrimp in Spanish if anyone cares) with Paco de Lucia is fabulous; thanks. The Sephartic influence in both it and in Alexatpos' clips is fascinating. de Lucia is absolutely amazing!
Camaron was Andalucian Gypsy, and Paco de Lucia's mother was Potuguese. Flamenco also has very strong Moorish and Persian influences.
