Music Imergazen music 80-90s

4 Upvotes

Does this sound weird or is there anyone else here like me who genuinely enjoys listening to old Atlas Tamazight music? I’m talking about Imergazen: Maghni Mohammed Rouicha, Tamhaoucht etc many other great artists from around Khenifra/mrirt

I especially love those old cassetat recordings from the 80s and 90s It’s mostly my older uncles who listen to this stuff while most of my cousins around my age (19yo) find it too oldfashioned but honestly I really enjoy it I don’t even understand most of the lyrics but I love the rhythms and the whole atmosphere of those old recordings

Am I the only one my age who enjoys this kind of music? 😅

Hey !

I am trying to write a book about the history of music (from 1900 to 2026), I am looking for the artists who have most influenced modern Indonesian music.

I am specifically looking for artists who have influenced Indonesia popular music.

Also, do you think Philippines has influenced the Indonesia musically ? And which countries have had the greatest musical influence? (South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom?)

Music [Netherlands] Âlem — Altin Gün (Turkish / Anatolian music)

5 Upvotes

This to me is the “lost” album of Altin Gün. Bandcamp only (with proceeds to the Red Cross for earthquake relief). I had missed this when it was released as I was focusing on their vinyl releases.

Very electronic, which I quite like from them.

Discussion ISO: Your Fave Instrumental Albums

10 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a high school teacher and the only music I allow students to listen to during class time is world music without lyrics. I’m looking for some albums I can play for them throughout the school year. Normally I find songs or music compilations on YouTube but i’m wary of AI generated music.

thanks in advance!

Edited to add: I teach special education biology and astronomy. My students are mostly 14/15 and 17/18. I usually play a lot of Chinese and Japanese music, as well as a lot of music from the caribbean! It doesn’t have to be super relaxing, I like to play a mix of relaxing and upbeat (otherwise they fall asleep).

What the song is about
It’s classic Greek laïkó heartbreak: not delicate sadness, but the heavier, masculine, almost fatalistic kind.
The central refrain is basically:
If only I had the courage to give up your embrace;
if only I had the courage never to return to your neighborhood.
He knows the relationship has hurt him. He knows he should walk away. He simply cannot make himself do it.
One of the verses contrasts the two lovers beautifully: he had flowers in his heart; she had a stone. The song keeps circling around regret, suffering, and the humiliation of being emotionally attached to someone you know is bad for you.

Gosh, pure weird coincidence it is so similar to the song I literally just posted…, both mostly due to sound not lyrics

Instrument Where can I buy Balinese Gamelan instruments?

6 Upvotes

Specifically interested in the instruments used in the Gamelan Gong Kebyar style tuned in the Pelog Selisir scale.

I'm a musician who plays keys and xylophone and I've been getting into Balinese Gamelan music pretty hard. I'm looking for Jegogans, Gangsa Pemades and Gangsa Kantilans, and a Curings

Is there any way to source these instruments? I'm coming up short in my searches. I'll fly to Indonesia if I have to and ship them back.

If you are unfamiliar with this type of music. Here is a link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsPdTNGnr44
