Here's some Colombian salsa! (!)

(I'm not really sure how to do the YouTube thingy oops)

 

Having musicians for parents and a Chilean father who's heavily into Bossa Nova music surely exposed me to a lot of latin american music growing up, but only a few months ago have I really started to explore it.

I really like Tom Jobim & João Gilberto

I also enjoy a lot of Japanese folk music; Ensemble Nipponia, Chieko Iwazaki, Yoshida Brothers etc

Michio Miyagi is a mastermind

Here's some French trip-hop/experimental . Degiheugi, really good artist. French producers are probably my favourite modern musicians(meaning using new methods of making music)

Al Tarba has this really weird early 1900's circus music going on.

Damn, I'm loving this. Thank you for sharing.

This is the modernised Traditional Igorot song and unfortunately I can't find the original. My grandma used to sing this song at home when she was still alive.

This band was popular back in the 60's and 70's and though they were heavily influenced by Classic/Folk and Reggae Rock but they're the first group to incorporate this genre in the Philippines.

 

I still haven't figured out the youtube things so here's a link to the maori haka which is a challenge that was preformed before battle. In our times it has been used by the national sporting teams of New Zealand as a challenge to the other team before competition

 

The French really know what they're doing.

If you like that you may like L'Orange. This type of music really would never be popular in North America, but Europeans generally like trip hop.

You may also like JIM, again from France.

Last one I'll post from France

Too much good stuff out of that country

I really like JIM a lot and Jazz Liberatorz too and I've only been exposed to trip hop from few artists but Portishead, Morcheeba and Telepopmusik especially Portishead since Dummy is one of my favourite album.

Here's a band from Thailand. Their style reminds me of Mogwai with a combination of Explosions in The Sky

France. It's one of the track from the movie, Tomboy

^ I'm not really familiar with the instrument, but it's pretty cool!

 

One of my favourite hip-hop producers of all time, Nujabes (Japan). Strange to think he passed almost five years ago now.

another gem in terms of Japanese hip-hop, Uyama Hiroto

I love Nujabes, it's sad that he passed away. Aruarian Dance is one of my all-time favourite song which takes me to this song that has a Nujabes vibe to it. [YOUTUBE]ldsil7KfaLE[/YOUTUBE]

An emotional song performed by Japanese artist, Momoe Yamaguchi

When BritFolk meets Rajasthani Folk music. You can see how they're all having fun.

Anyone remember them?! (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))

Thought I'd add these guys from New Zealand, again not really specifically world music because it's from an English band, but it's definitely unique, and not really popular elsewhere. I think most New Zealanders will have heard of these guys

[youtube]q-t5nBbGhPM[/youtube]

This song from Canada, sort of unique to Canada cause it's in French and English. It does have Canadian musical influence(French, Scottish, and English). North American Country music basically come from the United Kingdom and France

[youtube]jDkwPuOpJlA[/youtube]

This is a band actually from Houston, American born, but Spanish influence, sings all in Spanish. They're awesome

[youtube]D8foj5CUNOM[/youtube]

This song is a highly slept on song from Brazil, actually can't believe it wasn't famous when it came out

Thought I'd add Slovenian artist; lives in the U.S Gramatik.

He does a variety of ethnic music, he does a lot of Balkan cause he is from there. It's all fusion though.

So Balkan
