WEF (World Entertainment Friday), Week 22
Weekly selection of somewhat unusual music from around the world
From the darkest corners of YouTube, here are some songs that you’re unlikely to ever hear on FM radio.
If you know something that would fit in, let me know in the comments.
Artist: Бөртэ (Boerte / Börte)
Title: Altai
Country: Mongolia
Year: 2019 (?)
Can’t find much information about this collective, the website seems to be defunct. That’s a shame.
Artist: Osi and the Jupiter
Title: Folk of the Woods
Country: USA (Ohio)
Year: 2021
A two-man band into neo-pagan-folk-something.
Brought to my attention by
.Artist: Pietro Adragna
Title: Montagne Russe (Rollercoaster)
Country: Italy
Year: 2016
Italian accordion virtuoso Pietro Adragna performing live at a festival in 2016. May you love everything you do as much as Pietro does.
Fun side note: a rollercoaster is called «Russian mountains» in French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish… but «American hills» (американские горки) in Russian.
Pietro is amazing!
Maybe these people would fit in here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNe3wo2Un8A
Edit: Cimbalom Brothers: Minor Swing (Django Reinhardt)
Really liked the Pietro video. Have you ever heard of Accordion Tribe?
