Music from other worlds (subtitle: 'listen to an idiot)
Warato'o
"...so you stay among yourselves listening to Peruvian groups with bagpipes that are listened to by a handful of people and that not even their relatives buy!" (quote)
HERE I AM! PRESENT! I, the pretentious know-it-all, frequenter of the stinkiest and most hidden niches, who "will never be part of a majority," as that guy said in that movie... I invite you to listen to some of the most unimaginable stuff that has crossed my hands and ears over the years. You, listen to an idiot, spend 5 minutes on this, because always listening (reading, watching, eating, sniffing...) to the same things you already know how they are, with no risk taken, simply leads to your brain atrophying.
14) Narasinato
That ugly mug @[DaniP] (the stinker once known as Pinhead) thinking of mocking me, challenged me to find some "Samoans with bongos"... Well, even from there can come excellent music!
Like these Narasinato, who are not exactly Samoans, but from the remote village of Oterama on the island of Malaita in the Solomon Islands (fine, in that area, anyway...). So around 2005/6, an Australian music researcher, Peter Keelan from the Australia Council, learned of the existence of a local band that had been forming for several decades as a creative focus project for local youth. Their music was tied to a belief system called "Warato'o" - the small seed of goodness in everything - and to the Are'are culture of which they are a part, from body painting to group dance, and their extraordinary range of handmade instruments - log drums, shells, bamboo tanga, frying pan tubes, and stomp tubes. Supported by a trance rhythm driven by bass, with bursts of melody from centuries-old native scales, their music sounds like an acoustic ode to Mother Nature. So the good Keelan, with the help of local politicians, encouraged the group to re-form and became their international manager. From then on, Narasarito Pan Pipers recorded and released an album and began to perform at major music festivals around the world from Glastonbury to Womad to Fuji Rock.
Now, I have listened to a few local groups and I can say with absolute certainty that, for the most part, they are one of considerable boredom... But this record NO! trust me, this "Warato'o" by Narasinama deserves careful listening.
