Playing for a Change

[Chris Durbin]

Sherlock Holmes once told Watson that he only had so much room in his "brain" attic and when it's full, for everything added something must go out the other side, and you lose it. That's why he only added necessary information for his work.
Have you ever noticed when you get a song in your head it stays and stays, taking up computing power and distracting you in your "work". I gave up on listening to music many years ago for my studies and it has helped. Well after listening to Jorgelito's Indiara Sfair post, I just went and posted this Tinariwen video. This band has been around since 79 and they "are" rebels.

Not bad for Chinese. I guess throat singing is taking off since HU 2016.
Thanks, I liked it.

More Throat Singing

I love that grating vibrating resonating sound.

My observation is that music seems to quiet the thinking, by going to a different frequency, to that of feeling, feeling refreshing, slowing things down and putting a lid on most of the stuff I think about.  Like being with trees.

I like your observation on the HU Jorgelio. It shows how this group brings out emotions. I hope they put out some more videos.

I enjoyed them all but the Mongolian heavy metal band - because the lyrics are so very violent.  The angry intensity blasting as if from center of soul is like a storm with a direction, purpose and destination of its own.

Thanks for the comment Jorgelito. Their different cultures are very apparent, moving and educational. It's amazing the evolution of music especially in our own culture generation to generation. I think each generation dislikes the following's music?
Feel free to put something different here. The Playing for Change title comes from the Playing for Change Organization and their U-tube videos sooth the soul for me, mellow.

I do like Hunnu Guren - Batzorig Vaanchig & Auli -- sound and graphics. Makes my soul vibrate. The Throat Singer really adds to the sound and presentation.

The Hu is a Mongolian heavy metal band formed in 2016. With traditional Mongolian instrumentation, including the Morin khuur, and Mongolian throat singing, the band calls their style of music "hunnu rock", hu being a Mongolian root word for "human".
