I've been wanting to widen my musical herizon. So, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?
I'm open to all different types, I have a little bit of arbic dance music, Romania gipsy, and maori. I'm interested in any and everything, except for J-Rock or J-pop or any other type of asian pop rock music. If it's something like tradtional druming, then sure, give it to me.
Some I already have and/or like are Balkan Beat Box, DeVotchKa (these first two would be my tops), Oceania, Romania Gipsy Show, and etc.
I don't mind bands that are inspired by different world/cultures of music and make it a part of theirs, like the first too. Those suggestions are just as much welcome.
Talk about world music here! Because sharing is cool!

I haven't been exposed to much world music, so I'm open to suggestions too. 3nodding
I've probably got some stuff on the CD package I got for my music appreciation class, but I haven't listened through it all yet.

Neato. I've taken a world music class, but I didn't really get what I thought I was going to get out of it. sweatdrop

Maybe someone from the music elite that jon brought into this guild can explain something to me.
Why is japanese rock/pop called J Rock, or J pop, where for example Finnish rock isn't called F Rock, or german rock isn't called G rock?

I have no idea. It's just a label. You COULD say F-rock or G-rock. It's not a genre, so it's not like it matters. J-rock fans just find it easier than saying Japanese rock, I suppose.
I have no clue what's on those CDs. We listened to some parts of it in class, and there's some weird s**t on there, but some of it is pretty cool. Most of it is more traditional, though. We've got quite a few fun music classes that I'd like to take if I had more time/money.

If Jon comes into this thread he's gonna say, "there's no such thing as J-rock or J-pop".

Listen to Ashley MacIsaac!
Actually, he's Canadian, but he has mostly rock songs that have traditional Irish fiddle playing and sometimes lyrics in Gaeliche also has some traditional folk albums.

I'll check him out for sure. As for the whole J-Rock, J-Pop thing... I don't know why it's called that. Maybe, mostly it's just a shorten way of saying Japanese rock/pop music?

J-rock and J-pop exist, they're just not genres. They're labels, like "Christian." It being Christian doesn't change the sound. Sound = genre. If it's got to do with lyrical content or anything other than the sound, it's a label.
That's how I see it, anyway.

I generally don't use labels at all. I just call it pop or rock. Or whatever it is. I don't know if it is what you are looking for but try Akurat. They are polish ska. http://www.myspace.com/akurat
