Stragely enough I was over in Beirut as EM for the Pepsi Live show when this Lady (unless I'm hopelesly mixed up) had the crew over for dinner at her exquisite apartment, it was an amazing evening and she was an utterly charming hostess making sure I was entertained throughout despite my awful arabic and fairly lamenatable french.

I'm a big, big fan of Mongolian music.

here's a sample of mongolian throat singing - there are no musical instruments involved, everything you hear is the one singer

Blacklight · 05-26-08, 12:46 AM

That's COOL !! I wish I could to learn to do that !!

Jimbuna · 05-26-08, 03:24 AM

You'll need a proper teacher according to a programme on Radio 4 you can give yourself a brain haemorage by badly done throat singing!

Fantastic sound though.

(song starts at 1:45, see the comments for english translation)

Two songs from Creta:

EDIT (found another one, couldn't resist)

And here is a modern one, most of you probably know:

Happy Times · 05-26-08, 10:39 AM

Some of the music that for me describes the Finnish people and country, they can still bring shivers and tears at moments.

Karelia suite - Intermezzo

Karelia Suite - Alla marcia

Myrskyluodon Maija by Lasse Mårtenson

Juokse sinä hummani. With this song i can quote the YouTube description directly, " A tribute to the Finnish Horse and to my Grandpa, who used to sing this song".

Reppurin laulu. Cant believe there wasnt a better version in youtube, seems traditions are dying.

Tchocky · 05-26-08, 10:43 AM

Karelia Suite = <3

I remember playing in the Helsinki Hall of Culture with an Irish orchestra, we had a Finnish choir backing us. We played Finlandia, they sang. The audience were deathly quiet, I can still remember the chill. A beautiful song.

mcf1 · 06-26-08, 01:54 AM

The greek national anthem:

(from the olympics 2004 opening)

and one I found with lyrics translated in English

well it's not so bad as national anthems go, but it's no Marseillaise

Takao · 06-26-08, 04:11 PM

I always liked this one, but I don't think it is what you ment.

Long Live the Animaniacs!
