Paso Doble Expresso
@StreetSwing.com : Sometimes referred to as the Spanish One-step, the "Paso" as it is affectionately known is a dance of the Bullfight which portrays the Toreador and his partner is the Cape. The Paso Doble dance became quite popular during the 1920s and later became the rage in Paris with the upper classes around the 1930's.

Lonnie and the Skiffle Invasion
@The Blue In The Air : My wife has suggested an unlikely but I think viable comparison point for skiffle; the frantic but near weightless rhythm, the rhetorical/ritual repetition of phrases and gestures until fascination hypnotically takes precedence over meaning – it’s the unacknowledged grandparent of House music!

From Malouf To Mezoued
@Tunisie100p100 : The mezoued diffuses in the urban culture of the layers underprivileged and uprooted by the Rural migration. It can be seen like the expression of a badly-food and a distrust with respect to the dominant culture. It is registered readily against the codes of the propriety by adopting a ic language Argot and by treating provocative topics even grivois.

Recuerdos de Milonga
@StreetSwing.com : The Habanera and the Polka played a part in the Argentine Dance> known as the'Milonga' ("Poor Mans Habanera"). The Milonga originated as a song with lively improvisations and a peppy tempo. When this tempo was quieted down and steps were added to it making the Milonga the first known Tango but had not yet been named as such.

Mediterranean Polyphonies
@Polyphonic.gr : The melodies of the Epirus Polyphonic songs, including some more songs of Epirus and Thessaly, are the only ones in Greece that have preserved the five-tone scale without semitones (a scale consisted of five tones without semitones).

The Songs Of Shah Abdul Karim
@Unheard Voice : It is a shame that many music groups/ musicians of current generation have become famous using Baul Shah Karim’s music, but Baul Shah Karim was not given due credit. Dolchhut’s signature song is ” Gari Chole na, …”.

Malagasy Steps
@EscapeArtist.com : It is only in these places that you will listen and dance to the real sound of Malagasy music. The most local colour night club are the Zazaclub in Tulear, the Papagayo and the Vieux Port in Nosy Be, the Indra, the Bus, the Glacier, and the Cahïba in Antananarivo.

Trumpet Concertists
@Rafael Méndez Online Library : At age twenty, Méndez moved to the United States, working in steel mills in Gary, Indiana. Unhappy that he could not play his trumpet as much as he desired, Méndez moved to Flint, Michigan, where he began working at the Buick Company plant and playing in the company band.

The Piedmont Fingerstyle
@UNC-TV : Blues musicians who shifted from the banjo to the guitar may have learned the art of picking a tune on one-stringed, homemade instruments. This homemade instrument may have introduced the "slide" technique typical of the later Piedmont Blues, mainly for the variation of notes since one string allowed less flexibility for melody.

Sundanese Heritage
@Tourism Indonesia : Whilst the differing forms of gamelan music may sound rather similar to the inexperienced ear, Sundanese music is usually distinguishable from its Javanese and Balinese cousins by the presence of a clear melody in the foreground

Lecuona, Ernesto de Cuba
@zarzuela.net : Lives have middles as well as beginnings and ends. From about the age of six Ernesto Lecuona's was dominated by work. The endless round of concert tours, entrepreneurial ventures and occasional spells of relaxation at his beloved Cuban ranch, La comparsa - named after one of his earliest and most famous piano pieces - is blurred here.

Dubbing With The King
@artists.dubroom.org : As a talented radio repairman, Tubby soon found himself in great demand by most of the major sound systems of Kingston, as the tropical weather of the Caribbean island, (often combined with sabotage by rival sound system owners) led to malfunctions and equipment failure.
