WEF (World Entertainment Friday), Week 30
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: Nestor Vega
Title: Malambo norteño
Country: Argentina
Year: 2020
Gaucho king! Okay, self-proclaimed, but still.
Artist: Ulytau

Country: Kazakhstan
Year: before 2013
Eclectic mix of folk, rock, pop and some violin.
Artist: Minyo Crusaders
Title: Kaigara Bushi
Country: Japan
Year: 2023
Speaking of eclectic mixes… these guys create Caribbean versions of traditional Japanese folk songs.
OMG the Gaucho King! I sent it to my dance teacher and said I wanted to learn how to dance like him, and was willing to put on shoes for the occasion!
But for pure dancing around the kitchen fun, nothing beats the Minyo Crusaders. I need to play it again, I still have more dishes to wash!
I like the Argentine and Kazakhstan groups. I didn’t love the Japanese group, but I would probably like Japanese music
