Ethnological Recordings

[Otomo_Hava]

You can name anything & many of the recorded and saved global recordings you may like, impressed and interested. Religious ceremonies, weird folklore + traditional music, marches etc. from all around the world, ancient and contemporary musical forms from anteriors and posteriors generations of mankind.

Siberian/Tuvan throat singing is a unique sound - http://alashensemble.com/about_tts.htm - an extremely pleasant vocal sound to my ears.

My favorite "ethnic" or "world" music listen is Codona, especially their self-titled debut.  It's a sitarist/tabla-ist (Indian) fused with an African trumpeter and a Brazilian percussionist.  I find it very unique, yet accessible.  Nice simple melodies and lots of cool drone-type accompaniment.
