Fittingly at this time of major earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. :-(
So trippy, so good.

It reminds me Druck from Richard Wahnfried! Great.

Would this be more suited to the World/Etc mix? Just a thought.
Then again, people who haven't heard didj before, might appreciate finding it through the main mix...

Should Fared Shafinury be credited here as well?
I see he is on Spotify and for the eclectic influence of this song to be recognized and the artist profiting of this recognition, I think the easiest way would be to credit him!

Hell No.
I like cultural stuff, but not this ear-bleeding sound.

you should check the Govinda music at bandcamp. Some very good albums

Gotta dig modern music that attempts to synthesis western traditions with other cultural traditions in what can sometimes result in a most exotic blend.
To address concerns raised elsewhere in this song thread, in my experience, when musicians from established, rich and 'modern' cultures incorporate instruments and sounds from traditional folklore found in far away cultures, the publicity usually spills over and benefits artists from the more traditional society. There is nothing like a little global recognition to spur pride in peoples of all countries.
Oooh, I just lurve the exoticism and eclecticism of RP. Something new and different in the lugholes every day. This song just transports me away somewhere...ethereal, I know not where. It's a welcome escape from the dread dreary drudgery of deskbound wage-slavery, right enough. 8 from the spaced Nottingham jury.

Learning the didgeridoo as a path to fame and easy riches?
I believe judging one's ability or justification to play any sort of instrument based on ethic affiliation may be considered a tad racist by some. Also, myself, I spent years playing the didge. Learned it in Germany and later when I spent a year in Australia I worked in Didgeridoo workshops and played along with people down under as well. So I believe I may say a thing or two about this.
First: The way Aboriginal folk play and use the didgeridoo is a whole lot different to what a lot of musicians around the world do with it. This one here for example. It's not at all like what you would here in Aboriginal contexts. They use a lot less rythm and facy stuff, making it sound a lot more boring to western ears.
Second: There is neither fame nor riches in Didgeridoo. And it's for the better that way.

Watch the major lazer video " lean on", but with this song...
Nice didgeridoo!
My first crack at this, just signed up after listening for years.
Love the tune, its what I've come to love about RP

Yes, it is disappointing when people spend hours and hours learning an instrument for money and not for love of the music. But how can you blame them when mastery of the didgeridoo leads so clearly down a path paved with fame and easy riches?

I didn't know it was a law that you had to be Aboriginal to play a Didgeridoo. Is it also against that same law to play bagpipes if you're not Scottish? Or to play steel drums if you're not Jamaican? Just curious.... sirtezza wrote:

And if you think that annoying Didgeridoo is being played by a nice aboriginal chap, it's not.
Hijacking an aboriginal culture from the other side of the world for personal gain is at best creepy, at worst parasitic/pathological.

So true. I hate people who complain about this crap. I don't hear anyone bitching about YoYo Ma appropriating the Cello.

Love the tasteful fusion of styles, like this, Afro Celt, etc.
It's a case of wearing out its welcome.
A little less presence and/or volume on the Digeridoo would've been more listenable.

This is wonderfull.
This is bizarre. I expect it to grow on me though.
I cannot be grateful enough to these DJs of ours, not just for providing damn good listening, but also for adding experiences I don't get anywhere else!
Hate it. Makes it want to revoke my monthly donation.

I love the trance-like atmosphere, but it does seem to get a little inhuman and repetitive after a while.

Quite likable song, but morning is the wrong time of day to hear it. This "mystical and trance-inducing global music" (quote from Barra's web site) made everyone stop getting ready and stare blankly at the walls.
I hear a mixed of iranian and indian rhythms. but mostly iranian setar
