Robert_Tulip Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Hi Josh I am listening to Jamiroquai (Didjerama+Didjital Vibrations) I'm not sure how familiar Americans are with the didgeridoo. It is a traditional Australian aboriginal instrument, a hollow tube of wood, that makes the main drone sound in this Jamiroquai piece, which is clearly deeply influenced by shamanistic spirituality, with the band name from the Iroquois. I used to listen to them 25 years ago. The didgeridoo is a deeply spiritual form of music in indigenous culture. I have an old didgeridoo that I play, but the contested and traumatised situation of indigenous culture means there is not much interest in hearing non-native players. As it happens, I was on stage last Friday with a didgeridoo accompanying me playing Bob Dylan songs. It was a Catholic Church event with the Archbishop as the main speaker, on the Pope's 2015 Laudato Si encyclical on integral ecology. I opened the event playing acoustic guitar and singing Blowing in the Wind, The Times they are a Changing and When the Ship Comes In, as well as my own songs Rainbow Snake and Uluru, with the didg accompanying. Happy 80th Bob! We are moving to a more syncretistic approach to religion in Australia. This event was opened with a ritual smoking ceremony, with Aboriginal people extending a welcome to country and inviting everyone to walk through smoke made by burning green leaves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually thinking about getting a cheap on and trying it out. My youngest son has been beat boxing since middle school and is pretty good at it now. I showed him the videos and told him he might wanna try it out too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Joshpantera Posted May 25, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted May 25, 2021 My brother had one in the 90's. I tried using it. Can be tough. You have to watch the breathing technique videos. They take breathes in from their nose and hold the air pressure in their cheeks to keep the constant drone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Moderator TheRedneckProfessor Posted May 25, 2021 Super Moderator Share Posted May 25, 2021 I find Jia Peng Fang to be very spiritual for me. I sometimes have his music playing softly when I meditate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♦ Fuego ♦ Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I've heard Heilung say that their music is better when you don't understand the lyrics, as they are going for a deeply felt primal group experience rather than actually worshiping a particular god. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Joshpantera Posted November 24, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted November 24, 2021 They should jam that at the local Chinese buffet! I used to go into this Indian buffet tearing up plates of food blazed after surfing for 4 or 5 hours - in my bachelor. And the Indian music sounded just right. I can imagine an ethnic Indian band / metal along these lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator TheRedneckProfessor Posted November 24, 2021 Super Moderator Share Posted November 24, 2021 Not to derail the thread but, in recent years, there has been a surge in the Asian music scene, especially in the metal and indie genres. Often blending traditional instruments with electric guitar and bass, they're creating some really kickass sounds. Probably the 2 best known groups are The Hu (Mongolese throat singing fused with metal) and Babymetal (Japanese Kawaii metal). Vietnam has an especially lively underground scene, centered around Hanoi in the North and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) in the South, with bands ranging from progressive metal to straight punk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the awesome things about the band. With their dancing around and anime-sounding voices, you almost think they're not really serious, like they're just doing a strange parody of J-Pop and Kawaii culture. But when you read their lyrics, you realize they are tackling serious issues head-on without flinching. Social and cultural issues, such as gender equality and bullying. If you like this track, you should check out their sings "Karate" and "Megitsune." They have videos with English subtitles for both songs on YouTube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
