I want to meet more people who also like 1980s music, that's why I started the group. And beside 1980s music, I also like world music very much. I listened to very few Gary Newman. I remembered that he was from the Beggar's Banquet record company? Anyway, I liked a very wide range of music. From Syn Pop to New Romantic, to what we now call World Music. But now I listen to World Music more and more. I like Asian cultures and I like to travel to those Asian countries, like Nepal, India...etc. Everytime I went there I would search for some new music. Here is a message which I have JUST posted to another discussion board which I often visit, just for sharing: ----- There are some music CDs which I brought back from Nepal and Thailand. I am not sure if you have heard of any of them. From Nepal: - Bijaya Vaidya 'Sitar Sudha' http://bijaya.free.fr/ - Sur Sudha (the group of 'Sitar Sudha') 'Images of Nepal' http://www.thamel.com/htms/sur_groups.htm http://www.thamel.com/ (you can find more info about Nepal here) - Sina Vodjani 'Sacred Buddha' http://www.vodjani.de/eng/bio/bio.htm http://vodjani.de/eng/dis/dis.htm - Buddham Sharanam Gacchami - Typical Newari Music of Nepal Manufactured and marketed by SAC Music International, a Nepali company that produces a lot of Nepali music - Navraj Gurung 'Rhythmic Journey' Another product of SAC International. Very excellent drum performance (imagine him playing with Pat Metheny, what a chemical). I could not find any information of him online, except this German website which I can't read: http://www.kunst-des-himalaya.com/html/cd_nepal.htm But apparently he's quite a renowned musician in Nepal. And he's involved in this CD as well, worth a try: http://www.whiteswanrecords.com/wsr/nomind.htm And this company brings you a lot of Hindi/Nepali choices: http://www.whiteswanrecords.com/wsr/nomind.htm - Musical Journey - To Singhuli Ghadhi Another SAC product. From Thailand: Well, there are some CDs I bought back from Thailand but many of them are in Thai which I can't read. But there are a couple with English titles: A-Lua 'Siamese Sweeties' I can't find any info online about them. Yet a music duo who definitely did some sweet and gentle music that mix traditional Thai music with electronic urban feel. Kammao Perdthanon, Thongsai Thabthanon 'Pinn - North Eastern Insturment' No need to say I can't find their info online. Another very interesting music duo. Pinn is a very interesting Thai music instrument. The first time I heard the music style it was in December 2001, there was a band playing at a rather famous theme park in Phuket. And when I heard it I thought, oh, this is pretty psychedelic, and, if I were the manager of Cherry Red Records, I probably would offer them a contract. After that, I kept looking for this type of music. Finally I found a CD from the Jaktujak market in 2003. I also mentioned some Tibetan musicians in another thread, such as: Nawang Khechog http://www.nawangkhechog.com/ (from there, you may listen to his music and find info of other Tibetan artists) Yungchen Lhama http://www.yungchenlhamo.com/ Since fleeing Tibet on foot in 1989, Yungchen Lhamo has emerged as the leading Tibetan vocalist on the world stage. Yungchen's name was given to her by a Tibetan lama when she was a baby and translates to "Goddess of Melody and Song." Her songs take listeners on an emotive journey across plateaus and soaring over vistas, with a charge and a charisma no doubt informed by her remarkable life story. Born in a labor camp outside Lhasa in Chinese-occupied Tibet, Yungchen began working in a carpet-weaving factory at the age of five. Tibetan singing was one of many customs banned by the Cultural Revolution, which began violently in Tibet in 1959. It was in this inhospitable setting that her grandmother taught Yungchen the devotional singing she has shared with audiences around the world. At the end of a dangerous 1,000-mile escape across the Himalayas, Yungchen arrived in India, where she visited numerous Tibetan refugee camps and had the opportunity to meet the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala. Recognizing the ability in Yungchen's performances, he encouraged her to go and share with western people the richness of Tibetan culture through the beauty of her voice. In concert, Yungchen performs with almost no music accompaniment, so that the focus of the audience's attention fixes on the pliant tonal qualities of her inimitable voice. Since being signed to Peter Gabriel's Real World Records label, Yungchen has released two critically-acclaimed albums, Tibet, Tibet and Coming Home (produced by Hector Zazou). Yungchen has also performed in support of many Tibet organizations, including Tibet House New York, The Milarepa Fund, Students For a Free Tibet, Tibet Relief Fund, Australian Tibet Council, The Dalai Lama Trust New Zealand, AIPLP, the Pema Tsal School in India and for such aid groups as Amnesty International, Walk Against Want, Reebok Human Rights Awards, IUCN and Survival International. At such events, she has performed alongside a variety of luminaries, including Philip Glass, Annie Lennox, Michael Stipe and Sheryl Crow. I have also mentioned another music duo Prem Joshua and Manish Vyas, see: http://www.premjoshua.com/ In the past, I used to quite like this Japanese composer/musician Ryuichi Sakamoto (I saw him in person once). He plays some sort of Jazz fusion with quite strong World Music influences. And he played an album called The End of Asia, which is quite good. There's also another Japanese musician, Seigen Ono, who played an album, Comme des Garcon Volume II, it mixes Japanese, Korean, Latin American...music influences. I used to like it very very much. ----- Has anyone of you listened any of these?
