World [music] musicians?

Postby Mushishi » Tue Aug 15, 2006 9:36 pm

Konichiwa, all.

I love world music. So much so that I wasted tons of my hard earned money on these instruments: A bodhran, djembe, Taiko drum, didgeridoo, and tabla.

Does anyone play? I can't get enough of world percussion as you can see [with the exception of the didg....I just love the sound ^^]. If anyone plays, list your instruments and favorite songs to do! Also, if anyone has bodhran or tabla advice, it would be much appreciated.
God creates out of nothing. Wonderful, you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.

Yoiyasa! Yoiyasa! Yoiyasa! Yoiyasa!

Haaa

umi no otoko nya you

Oki no kamome mo yoritsukano

oka no kakaa ga nakou to mo

dare ga toru yara ichiban mori

haa Danchone! Danchone!

haa tairyou da tairyou da!



In episode 11, first season of School Rumble, Harima reads Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky. SUGOOOIIII!!!!!!!!


At least listen to the music.

BODHRANS RULE!!! :grin:

Er, not that I actually know how to play one. But I know a couple of bands that use 'em ^^;

The closest I come to world music is fiddling *sigh*

Ack, and my younger brother recently got his hands on a didgeridoo, be afraid O_o

Fiddling! That's awesome! That is the soul of Celtic traditional! You have earned +one trillion respect points for me.

Bodhrans do indeed rule. Though it's hard to play. I've been playing since February or so, and I'm finally getting the hang of it. Huzzah. We should start a band. *guffaws*

Your brother is incredibly cool all of the sudden. Didgeridoos will do that. I play it from my rooftop. My neighbours think I'm involved in some sort of strange ritual.

All in all, the didg is a very soothing and mesmerizing instrument...at least in my opinion. My neighbours think it more resembles a long, drawn out agonized cry of a dying walrus.

Could be worse, it could be the bagpipes *cue maniacal evil laughter*

I don't play, but if you like the Didgeridoo, you might want to check out the Swedish/Finnish band 'Gjallarhorn'. They use the instrument in much the same capacity as the Swedish bagpies, although with a rather different sound.

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

I play Celtic music on a hammered dulcimer as part of a trio that includes a flutist and a bodhran player.
