Anyone interested in world music?

Inna, Frogman, I am glad that you liked the clips. But like O 10 said, in 'our' jazz thread, it is a realy special feeling seeing some of this performers alive. The music is emotionaly demanding, there is a joke that describes that well, about a little boy who was asked what is 'sevdah'. His response was 'that is when father sits, drinks, listens to music and cry'.
Here are couple more clips, the older, more traditional, and few more recent. If you are realy intersted, I could translate you the songs,but the poetic expression would be partly lost

Paco De Lucia is one of my favorite guitar players, was fortunate enough to see him alive couple of years ago.
There are two albums that you may like, sextet, and sextet live. Here are few clips

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!

Agon gremlins? Sorry for the double post.

Just as Alexatpos correctly compares the feeling of 'sevdah' to 'blues', the Cuban 'guajira' can rightly be considered Cuban blues. Guajira themes often spoke of the Cuba's natural beauty and peasant life. Guillermo Portabales was one of the greatest singers in this almost forgotten genre.
