@Mugamradio : The Sufis music in Azerbaijan was closely connected with the art of mugam. The modes, rhythms and information of mugam, as well as the culmination of characters influenced the Sufi music. The medieval scientists played a great role in the development of Azerbaijan’s mugam science and art of mugam in the 13-14th centuries.

@Caipirinha Lounge : The last time I was there, which was about one year and a half ago, the singer Ary (signed to Heavy C’s label) was dominating the airwaves with the songs included below; since then, every time I’ve listened to her here in the States it reminds me of home and many nights of dancing kizomba to the sound of her music, especially her number one hit Como Te Sentes Tu.

@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.

@BoliviaBella : Andean music usually focuses on telling a story, traditionally the legends of the Aymara, Quechua, and Tiahuanacota people, and each music style is also accompanied by a particular dance style (each dance tells a story too). It is most evident in our Carnaval, which takes place in Oruro each year in February or March.

@Italiansrus : Legend states that between the 15th and 17th centuries an epidemic of tarantism swept through the town of Taranto in southern Italy. This was as a result of being bit by the poisonous tarantula spider.

@Laïkó on Wikipedia : Laïkó emerged after the popularization of rebetiko; but the musical style and lyrical themes of classic laïkó songs were far more orientalized and can be compared with Turkey's fantezi songs.

@Official Seoul City Tourism : In shamanism, the indigenous belief system of Korea, a shaman performs a gut or exorcism to receive power and energy from the "spirit world."

@S p a c e A g e P o p M u s i c : Julius Wechter's Baja Marimba Band was, in his own words, "... like the Tijuana Brass' bad little brothers. Herb [Alpert] and his group would dress in tuxedos and put on a tight, professional presentation. And we'd flop on stage in big sombreros and old clothes with big pasted-on mustaches, smoking cigars and drinking beer."

@Laopress : Effortlessly swirling between lush and the thick bass sound coming from this awesome Morlum is this stimulating Lum Siphandon from Tingnoy. It’s a folk music that originated from the southern part of Laos. Specifically, it's from 4,000 islands area locally known as Siphandon.

@MúsicaBrasileira.org : Paulinho da Viola has a passion for samba, Portela (his favorite Samba School in Rio de Janeiro) and love. His compositions often deal with those topics, but with innovative ways, fresh melodies and incomparable poetry
