I also love music from various places of this globe, I started a series a while ago,

Also, I deejayed for a while and established a night with roots reggae and African dance styles, from M’balax to Afrobeat, that was a great joy!

She is one of India’s most well-known sitar players, and she likes to bend genres, merge classical Indian music with pop, jazz, and other styles and genres.

In 2003, Anoushka Shankar was the youngest nominee in the GRAMMY’s “World Music” category; now, at 41, she has released ten studio albums and played with artists like Sting, Lenny Kravitz, Thievery Corporation, Nitin Sawhney, and on Herbie Hancock’s collab album “The Imagine Project” with Chaka Khan and Wayne Shorter.

Also, she is the daughter of Ravi Shankar, the most famous sitar players of all times (who was 61 when she was born and gained worldwide recognition in the late sixties when playing with Beatle George Harrison and classical violinist Yehudi Menuhin), and by that connection also half-sister of Norah Jones.

Here’s “Bright Eyes”, which, according to genius.com, “is the first track on Anoushka Shankar’s 2020 EP ‘Love Letters.’ This highly personal EP is an artistic expression of her pain and sadness after her husband left her for another woman. ‘Bright Eyes’ specifically finds her wondering whether her husband will use his old pet name for her for the woman he is with now. This track features singer Alev Lenz, who sings on four of the EP’s six tracks.”

After a bit of searching, I found an amazing version of the traditional Karelian folk song “Konevitsan kirkonkello” that’s been the original for the Piirpauke cover, performed with three kanteles by Finnish kantele players Martti Pokela, Eeva-Leena Sariola and Matti Kontio:

đŸ§” (1/6) I’ve loved Finland’s traditional zither-like instrument for years. Its sparkling sound, with a very unique timbre and colour, reaches deep into my heart.

There are different kinds of kanteles; most Finnish school kids very likely know the small- to mid-sized five-string model, which is being exported to other countries as well.

(1/4) This is truly “Music from around the world”: Together with many musicians and creatives from all corners of the globe, English singer and songwriter Peter Gabriel created a video for his song “Biko” with musicians and dancers from seven countries. It was produced for “Peace Through Music: A Global Event for Social Justice” that took place in

I must admit, I just created a hashtag for a series of music toots I started, , because I need to return to them when I write a new one, among other things to see where the count is at. The search function in Mastodon wouldn’t return them any other way. And I use the bookmark function for other things.

(1/2) Many of you probably know him from his work with Peter Gabriel, Neneh Cherry, and other European and US musicians. In his home country Senegal, everyone just calls him “You” and he’s a superstar who easily fills Dakar’s huge soccer stadium but still performs in small clubs after midnight. I was lucky enough to see him at both venues.
