I thought it was about time this thread was resurrected, even though it's originator won't be...........*sniffs...plays "Taps (The Last Post) on the kazoo.*
Anyway...Let's get things in here that are different, new, unexpected, quirky, odd, just frikkin weird...but nothing that most would consider "ordinary" or "usual" (unless you're incredibly lucky and your job pays you to listen to music).

I see all the smart winter-dressed visitors in their designer clothes looking stunning as from a magazine and there's me in my scruffy outdoors gear (I always have cultivated the scruff look) and I smile but not in a critical way as I like to be an equalitarian (egalitarian in posh language) about such things ... waffle over ... the Riff Raff for you cos I love you Eff

For a couple of hundred years, the children and grandchildren of Henry II tried to make the Gaelic languages of Scotland and Ireland illegal, outlawing not just the language but personal names and place names.
What a loss that would have been.
Diversity of every form should be welcomed and celebrated.
The Scots Gaelic lyrics are below. Have a listen a few times to get your ear in...
...then turn it up and sing along. You don't need to know what the words mean.
Just feel the music.
(If you do want to know what the words translate to...either googly it or PM me and I'll send you a copy)

I'm putting this one on here for 2 reasons...firstly, it's a great piece of music that helps me slide around the house doing my daily doo.
Secondly, it's here as a "Hello" to a friend of mine...*waves and smiles* because I know he likes it.

English Translation:
Two scrub fowl crying out, looking for Guwalilna
the calls like woman crying, looking for Murrurnawu
the cries returning his mind to the jungles at Mutlwutjna
oh place Guwalilna, Warradika, Yumayna, m.m
Oh the old man cries, from the drink
oh dad Kamba-Djunadjuna, home Mayan-naraka bright in his mind
oh my two mums, beloved mums, hold Ruypu Milinditj
oh my two mums, beloved mums, cry for the sacred spring Burarrapu
oh the place Guwalilna, Warradika, Yumayna, m.m
The orange footed scrub fowl (Djilawurr) are family and relatives to the Gumatj Nation.

The old folks used to play this occasionally and I didn't like it,
but in time 'got into it' as it suits a certain mood, it's languid style
and how it makes me feel - technical criticism, however kind, would
do it no justice, it's always about how it feels, always. I just hope
that putting it on here may convince one or two people, and that
would make me quite happy.

The quality of the recording isn't the best, there may be the odd fuzz of feedback occasionally.
The filming may be a bit "all over the place" and the spectators sometimes cut over the top.
But WOW. Imagine strolling through Jerusalem and coming across this. Magical.

Mdou Moctar

Mahamadou Souleymane, known better by his professional name 'Mdou Moctar', is a Tuareg musician and songwriter from the small village of Tchintabaraden in Niger.
After hearing artists such as Abdallah Oumbadougou, one of the founders of the Ishumar genre of the desert blues (or Assouf), a guitar-driven, politically conscious musical genre of the Kel Tamasheq people of North Africa's Sahara region.
Growing up in an area where secular music was all but prohibited, he taught himself to play on a homemade guitar cobbled together out of wood he found and an old bicycle cable, which he untwisted to make the strings.
He quickly became a star amongst the village youth and, in a surprising turn, his songs began to win over local religious leaders with their lyrics of respect, honor, and tradition.
His unconventional interpretations of Tuareg guitar have pushed him to the forefront of a crowded scene of Saharan music.
His first album, 'Anar', was recorded in Sokoto, Nigeria, in 2008, featuring "spaced-out" autotuned vocals and demonstrating influences from Hausa music. (The Hausa are one of the largest ethnic groups in Nigeria, Niger, Ghana, Sudan, Cameroon and many West and Central African countries).
Speaking in an interview of his first realising the interest of an audience outside of the Saharan region, Moctar said in late 2014: “I first met him (Christopher Kirkley of Sahel Sounds) on the mobile phone as he had called me...It was a weird conversation, as I thought my cousin was pulling a joke on me so I hung up. This American guy calling me, saying he wanted to work with me for my music, it just couldn’t be real. He called me again and we talked. He came to visit me in my village and also sent me a lefthanded guitar, which is very hard to find in Niger. This guitar has crossed several African countries to arrive in my hands, I have been playing it ever since!"
