Lucky1
Love that Caribbean style music.:smile:

My Father's influence still resonates with me from my childhood.
He loves Country, Bluegrass and Honkytonk and he would drag his musical
drinking buddies to the house after closing time and they played and
it would be like a intimate mini concert.
If he could get my Mother to join in on piano, he would be in less trouble.

I tried not to like those styles of music when I was young.
I figured it cramped my Rock n Roll style.
Today I Love all sorts of good music of most all genres.

Me deep thinks ……. this bluegrass, country and folk must be genetic.
Or either – yeah - you must have been exposed to it when young, like Aussies are introduced to Vegemite :D

But of course, there’ll always be that one song here and there that grasps you from any genre & now I have got “Cold November Rain” in my brain, in a soaring heat and where is that rain! ….. Waiting, waiting, waiting ....

(*quietly whispers,... is it wrong of me to call you all brothers? I thank all 3 of you for the last few days. I hope you do not mind my quietly listening.)

I am honored to call you Sister. :hug:

LOL, Genre= Creative construction site music. :wink:

If it helps about 1/8 Chinese 1/8 Pawnee & Shawnee 1/4 Irish
and the other 5/8th we just call it Gypsy =1 & 1/8 total :icon_eek: . LOL No offense to Gypsies.
It's just unknown.
There was a whole lot of adoption in my family tree.

Put that all together and I guess you can come up with Bluegrass.
But then I seen this band called Ganstagrass.LOL

Then of course Bluegrass music was spawned in the Appalachian Mountains
where the Irish and Scottish and Eastern tribes intermingled.
Here is a little audio pod recording that gives props to the Cherokee old timers
and their influence on bluegrass.

Here you go all I can do is send you "do the rain dance"song.

How about some "world music"?

Playing For Change....Get Back To Your Roots

My wife and I actually got to see these guy's play at El Malecon in Havana Cuba a few years ago!

This is what I know.

You don’t do a rain-dance inside your house.

You go out there in the bush … and after the dance - split – real quick.

Es un honor ser tu amigo. La cabeza inclinada.

:redface: (google translator helped)

It took me a while to catch up with all of your wonderful music. I loved all of your choices. I might just have to make a YouTube account so I may save all of the links. :smile:

Okay, favorite music, may I say I do not have any?

My son continues to push the envelope, in every direction.

Rhythms and drums, amazing how my heart opens and then my soul. Every culture expresses so many amazing stories and emotions and histories. It is such a blessing when we all share. :smile:

How I wish I were a YouTube master, but,.... I am not...

Song of the day

The group is Traffic (this is the whole album, but the first song “Glad”, is today’s song!). https://youtu.be/aEEf1GCyK_8

A used CD find at a record store, 20 years ago! :biggrin:

How wonderful! I was wondering if this was a Nod to Cuba.

Oh, heck yeah! :biggrin: Dance and run!

Getting to Cuba for Americans can be problmatic......NO U.S carriers direct fly there even though its 90 miles south of Florida....and depending on how relations between The Cuban commies are going with Washington at the moment........visa's can be a problem

For my wife and I....we were on a weekend vacation to Carmen Del Playa, Mexico....and decided to pick up a Aero-Mexico flight to Cuba.....we'd never been and really wanted to see Hemingway's house and go for a ride on the famous Malecon ....see the old forts and cannons...stuff like that.

We then flew back into Mexico.....finished up our vacation in Carmen Del Playa and came home.....and promptly got a ration of **** from customs when we flew back into Houston TX.

But it was a great trip and we saw a lot of historic stuff....Cuba as a country is like a time capsule from the 1950's

Duplicate post....weird when the forum does that???

Stevie Ray Vaughan.....one of the greatest's guitarists to ever walk this earth!

Crossfire + Travis Walk...LIVE!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxqSKdtFd7M

Totally agree.

I can imagine it is difficult to travel there, but definitely on my bucket list! You saw Hemingway’s house?!? Now I am even more amazed! I have seen Globe Trekker, PBS show, in Cuba! Amazing! Especially the automobiles!

I have my great aunt’s b/w photos of Cuba from the 1960’s amazing. I remember the plantains she brought home. I was 5 years old and I thought, worst bananas ever. :biggrin:

Was it worth the rash of *!&! ?

Oh yeah! We saw Hemmingway's house, picked up up a local taxi....a beat to **** old Chevy....cruised around old Habana......

I'm a coffee nerd so we stopped at a cool old coffee house and hung with the locals for a while. They mostly love American's and act very intrigued getting to talk to anyone from the states!

But one thing...start talking about certain things...they get nervous.....politics is a no no. Being from the worlds premier free country and being used to being able to say anything you want without reprisal its easy to forget.....but when you're in a controlled society like a communist dictatorship....saying the wrong things can cause you trouble and you pick up on that from the locals when you're there....they can immediately get pretty guarded about talking about certain things ...like saying anything negative about the government.

But we really did have a great time....My wife is Latina and fit right in and I'm a gringo who speaks decent Spanish so it was all good!

Not the first time I've had **** from customs...I've travelled a lot to 3rd world countries and have kinda gotten used to it! LOL.

There was this one time in Panama that me and a buddy got busted for entering the country legally.........

Yes, you can almost feel yourself ice-skating.
Wow.
Beautiful …… (I mean the union of movement in spaciousness).
I suppose one had plenty of opportunities to try ‘n’ make it graceful.

*

Can’t off hand think of cross-county skiing music.
I just think of movement and listening to silence or one's breath.

Favourite AfroCubism piece:

This to me ‘paints’ a perfect winter landscape.

The deep dark loom of winter.
The wind on light snow.

The youthful energy and delight. - Yet the 4 beat.
Like when you go into a virgin forest and are faced with the realization of lifecycle.

sentient,
Yes! cross country skiing has that lovely gliding motion. :-) It is also fun to light a candle and let arms dance shadows on the wall. :biggrin: I love movement and music; it makes me feel like I am flying :love5:
****

At first I did not understand what it meant, afro cubism, I kept thinking, ?Picasso? cubist? but Wow! what a wonderful blend?
****

And if the earth could speak, I think it would sound like this. https://youtu.be/OyaiHnw9qjc (this was the song that played right after yours, sentient)

****

Lucky 1 Yes, I can imagine it would be difficult to be in a place where speech is not free. Coffee nerd you say? You should meet my husband. :D That is so cool that your wife is Latina and you speak Spanish! :biggrin:

YES


I am so grateful for his music.
RIP

ant,

Lovely song of the day! Hold onto that thought. :smile:

Also, a real blast from the past. Transported me back to high school!

John Trudell (With Quiltman singing Honor song)
Title:Listening from the album Tribal Voice

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHQnEyEv3gY&list=RDEMh9M2AI2QZikRWWvDhH5fr g&start_radio=1

Not a song, but there is singing and drumming.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS91fwicQN0

Another reminder of patience and honor. I awoke last night and saw this song and it rocked me back to sleep. This morning I heard all of the words. Thank you for sharing. :smile:

ImthatIm, Powerful video, have you gone to witness this? What a wonderful open way to reconnect!

Heh – some of the John Trudell phrases do linger on.
And one just did came up again, when I responded to the 2 music threads.
What was it? Something like:
“Some holes are openings through the wall – some holes are holes, please do not fall”.

*

Well. We call falling into a trance “falling into a crack” or “slipping through the crack”:

Using either drum:
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/10/e8...c59a48a78c.jpg

Or (being boat people), you sit on a bench – lock hands like holding oars of a boat & rock back and forth in four beat chant (like Longfellow’s Hiawatha – who got it from us):
https://i.ibb.co/7CyxzWV/kalevalansarja-34.jpg

The tradition has/shares Siberian Shamanic roots:
https://i.ibb.co/0ZfxLhZ/Karelian-Museum-1.jpg

Some music is very conductive to ‘Shamanic Journeying’ in a right (nondual,'onness') spirit and in a good and mentally healthy, safe way.
Like some Native American music.

*

Now all my red flags came up and alarm bells started ringing, when I read the comment – that this song is good for ‘Shamanic travel’:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuN-zF4ePdo

Noooooooooooooooooo-o! For heaven’s sakes!
Viking culture was into black witchcraft – killing and torture and human sacrifice …
It has NOTHING to do with Shamanism, and I am amazed that people still mix up the two.

*

Ok. some of those dark Nordic tones are truly beautiful, so one shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

*

Saami and Carelian shamen became well known for summoning thunder, rain or wind for example.

This is wind summoning song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cARpIQvGVbA

It starts with Sami summoning the wind and then Carelian (the 4 beat wind summoning chant) alternating.

(The too high pitch singing really hurts my ears but).

A kind of fusion with Swedish musicians … bringing their ‘folky’ instumental elements into it ....

*

. We could use them in our area! :smile:

Nice complex beat on drums.

yep! Woke me right up. lol but it would be easily heard over the thunder, rain and wind. :biggrin:

I wonder what the elders think of it?
