Mostly Caribbean and Central American music, lots of pre-Conquistador Indian music and some more recent Calypso based music in preparation for emigration.

Bloody handy Spotify has most of the Smithsonian catalog on there.

Its fun, its upbeat, its different and while production sound might not be up to more Western counterparts, the true authenticity of the Caribbean saw and screwdriver, accordion, guitar and drums with the Calypso background work brilliantly for any Junkanoo.

If only there was somewhere better online for general music discussion than here, but alas I am yet to find it so still I lurk.

Any of you guys knows the name of that very prominent japanese drum sound
It sounds like ''prom prom' but kinda high pitch and its super cool
You can hear it in most japanese jidai geki movies like mizogichi and gurosawa akira even
Im dying to know the name fuq
