After a best mate of mine introduced me to Fela Kuti’s works I’ve been real interested in hearing music from other cultures you don’t hear much stuff from. Doesn’t have to be traditional music styles (love it when genres and cultures fuse together, like Masayoshi Takanaka taking influence from Brazilian music), but I’d love to hear that as well!
Tudi-Voice, Taiwan - Taiwanese modern folk stuff.
Florent Vollant, Canada - interesting indigenous culture based music.
Mulatu Astatke, Ethiopia - Jazz from the 60s and 70s.
Altın Gün, Türkiye/The Netherlands - modern Anatolian psych sounds.
Gwenno, Wales - Gaelic folktronica.
