Santana - Santana - @Turbo
Carlos Santana Illuminations - @supahypeag
Machine Head by Deep Purple - @Murfocakes
Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On - @Jonathan Y
Led Zeppelin - Coda - @Poly-Rythmo
Leonard Cohen - Songs of Love and Hate - @ranbalam
Funkadelic - Maggot brain - @duke86fan
Tori Amos - Live In Montreaux @Waitressboy
Love - De Capo @Gavaxeman
Muddy Waters - Hard Again @Goatfish
Nina Simone - Pastel Blues @Joe Mac

I just updated the guesses list.

 

[Skalap]

I just updated the guesses list.

I feel sad to have to say that but I think you can eliminate Wamdue Project too.

 

[Teeeee]

Should I be eliminating Santana also?

 

[ChristoBee]

Tropicalia seems the most likely

The problem is accessibility, no one is selling the reissue on discogs and Amazon has shady sellers only

Isn't that one a compilation technically ? We don't have any rule for thoses, but I feel that would rule this out.

 

[supahypeag]

If you're talking about my guess, it's not a compilation, it's a collaboration.

My bad I didn't read about the album, only the tracklist.

I do agree it's a very broad and pretty colonialist genre tag. But it fits for right now to know "ok it's not from Western Europe, US, or Canada"

I agree, it's a pretty colonialist/western-centric term, but I used it because I thought most members would be familiar with the term and what it refers to.

Yeah

Plus it would be too specific if you said the genre

It’s an American artist singing in English, not world music. Damian Albarn has flirted with African and Chinese influences at points too but it’s not world music. Hell Paul Simon and the whole Graceland project too, still not world music.

I get it, but there is a two genres Calypso and Reggae that are sung in English dialects, but could be classified as world music.

Once again just proves how useless the term is.

Oh yeah it’s completely useless and slightly patronising unless we start bundling our own native “sorta folk tradition” genres in there too. Bit like trad here or old school uk folk etc etc...

 

[Turbo]

Should I be eliminating Santana also?

 

[High Rant District]

I kind of hate the term, but it generally means music from anywhere other than English speaking countries and Western Europe.

I'm not a fan of the term "world music". It assumes the starting point for categorizing music should be a European or North American point of view. Not a hill to die on, but it's a lazy term.

Yeah, in my book, both Calypso and Reggae are classified as "World Music."

I would say it broadly means music not coming from the US or the UK, or in the popular genres originated in those countries. (I wouldn't classify Ryo Fukui as World Music. He is Japanese, but he plays an American genre). The music may show influence from those countries, though (As noted here, Tropicalia was influenced by Rock and Psychedelic music coming from both the US and the UK at the time.

This discussion reminds me of the worst question to be asked as a music nerd...What kind of music do you like?

This discussion reminds me of the worst question to be asked as a music nerd...What kind of music do you like?

I generally prefer my music to be in the form of sound. I don’t know how to read it, but some video reproductions of sound waves can look pretty neat.

Ugh, I know. Someone asked me this just the other day, and I never know what to reply when they do, aside from the pretty lame and never true "all kinds of music"

 

[supahypeag]

did they follow up with if you liked the dubstep?

Isn't all music world music?
