I decided to use “unusual” because I couldn’t think of a better term. I mean music that is different from what you consider normal, perhaps even very different.
Throat singing is something that has long fascinated me. This group, Huun Huur Tu, played a a nearby universe, probably six or seven years ago, and I was able to attend that concert. Enjoyed it a lot.
April 16, 2022 at 9:42 pm #265107That was great. Thank you for sharing! I’ll have to watch more of that. Heres my contribution: Ukranian folk chaos. The build up is just fantastic. Hope you enjoy =)
April 17, 2022 at 1:19 am #265123This was in the hard rock scene for awhile.
April 18, 2022 at 9:23 pm #265328You’ve probably heard Ladysmith Black Mambazo before, if you’ve watched the old version of The Lion King.
This one may not be so unusual, as it’s them singing along with Dolly Parton on “Knocking On Heaven’s Door”, but I still like it.
May 10, 2022 at 10:50 pm #267136I have a bit of fascination with the varieties of guitar-like and lute-like instruments that can be found in different cultures. The one here is an oud.
May 10, 2022 at 11:11 pm #267137That last video, that dude on the drum (djembe maybe??) is phenomenal. Fantastic music, my friend, you keep putting forward.
So, this song means alot to me. This song is about death, passing on peacefully, and celebrating the passing. Death is viewed differently in each culture, and the Norse believed it was beautiful.

Anything you would find on Dr. DEMENTO.
February 9, 2023 at 3:59 am #293268April 13, 2023 at 11:14 pm #297736It still seems odd that the words “bluegrass” and “Thriller” should end up in the same sentence, but they make it work.

April 13, 2023 at 11:31 pm #297738@Vknid : I got to see The Hu live with Babymetal two years ago. It was fantastic. Those guys really put on a good energetic show.
I suggest people try out Dead Can Dance. They have a variety of music and styles introduced in their songs. I would suggest starting with Into the Labyrinth.
and one of my fav songs of theirs
July 11, 2023 at 10:19 pm #302938“How Great Thou Art”, but in a way I’ve not heard it before. And very well done, too.
November 20, 2023 at 11:19 pm #309799She plays an unusual instrument with a strange but not unpleasant sound, and she has sings beautifully, too, though I’ve no idea what the song in about.
November 21, 2023 at 12:37 pm #309819Not sure how unusual this is, but here’s the finale of a one-take, improvised, instrumental pipe organ recording session I decided to call “Wrath of the Mighty Ones” (public access):

This is a swingier-style, instrumental, one-take improvisation on the Hammond B3 organ (public access, mistakes included, no name at this point):
