Are you fed-up with garbage, full-of-shit sites where nobody actually communicates, such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter? Do you wish your old friends who've migrated to those sites would return to LiveJournal? The
the_lj_revival community has been set up with that aim in mind, and you are invited to join it. If you are already on LiveJournal and still have a Facebook profile, and would like to see more people returning to LJ or setting up accounts here, we invite you to post a link to this community on your Facebook Timeline. If you would like to find out who is still using LiveJournal and make contact with those who are already here, you are invited to copy and paste the 'about me' questions on the profile page and post them with your answers to the community.- Current Mood:

Well, those of you who saw 
teir_garten's farewell post will have noticed that the community is still here. :-)
That would be because I volunteered (pretty much at the last minute, when I realized no one else had) to take over as maintainer so that the community could stay up. So, I'm your new mod.
No major changes planned at present, though I'll probably make a few tweaks to the userinfo page and such over time.
Thanks toteir_garten for running the community for so long, and good luck in whatever you move on to.

Thanks to
teir_garten for running the community for so long, and good luck in whatever you move on to.I'm leaving this community for about a million reasons. Some have to do directly with this community, some not.
In any case, LJ doesn't let the sole maintainer of the community just leave without deleting it (which I suppose makes sense). So before I go and delete it, I'm offering the maintainer position to someone else. maybe someone will care about this community more than I do.
24 Hours before I delete this community. First person to respond to this entry saying they want to be maintainer gets the community to do what they please with it.

A relatively obscure Romanian pop/folk musician. She has created a number of rare and interesting albums and worked in the film industry as an actor and as a score writer. She has a most wonderful voice and it can barely be expressed in a few words. Her style and panache needs to be heard and enjoyed.

The Flute is Hans Reffert and the Voice is Hans Brandeis. Together, they combine to make a most beautiful sound and a great album with this album here.
I'm sitting here and listening to the second song called "Fairies" and as soon as the singing pauses and there's a slight lull, I feel like I'm about to drift away and then suddenly, the flute comes in and takes me away more quickly than the soft picks on the cords. It's absolutely amazing.
When the two met, they were witnessing a wonderful Indian Sitar performance and that's when it clicked. They picked up plenty of inspiration from Indian music, but that's not really where a large portion came. They also had plenty of influences in the field of Jazz music along with a large folk inspiration.
This album is ripped at 192 mp3.
The title is Hallo Rabbit
Tracklist:
Natural Feeling
Fairies
Dorle
Hallo Rabbit
Scottish Rock
Little Nemo in Slumberland
Strike Another Match
Seven amazing songs that seem to flow together in perfection. This album is a must have for anyone remotely interested in folk music.

Pesnyary
Not less than nine piece band, they combined rock and folk music in a way no one did before.
The first Pesnyary recordings date back to 1969 (now some are available on compilation CD's issued in 1996). These were the cover versions of the Beatles with Russian lyrics. (Think that every Soviet Union band passed such "Beatles cover versions" period in the beginning of the career).
But it didn't take long for Pesnyary to develop their own, absolutely unique sound. Not less than nine piece band, they combined rock and folk music in a way no one did before. Bjelorussian folk is a specific music, very tender and melodical, filled with sorrow rather than with joy. Pesnyary didn't just make rock arrangements of folk songs, they developed and enriched these songs at the same time taking great care of the original passion and soul. One can find many elements of psychedelia in their earlier works and progressive moves in the later albums. All their LP's are highly recommended.
Sadly, the Soviet music officials were not sleeping... All the bands of the seventies had to include in their repertoire the songs by "official" writers and composers. But these tracks, moving to pop in style, in Pesnyary's versions became massive hits and are popular even nowadays.
All the band members were the top class players and the vocal group was exceptional. Using traditional folk instruments - horns, strings and others (don't know how are they called in English) combined with organ and electric guitar sometimes produced very psychedelic effect. The first, self titled LP saw the light of day in 1971 (by the way the second and third albums were as well self-titled, don't be confused!).
This is the second album. It was released in 1974.
Give it a whirl and lemme know what you think.

Most artists have to pay their dues, but very few have to be smuggled out of their birth countries to avoid death on the way. But for Geoffrey Oryema, that was the only way to survive. Born in Uganda, he was the son of a civil servant who was a police chief and then a cabinet minister and from his father he learned the local folk music, as well as the nanga(the harp), in addition to studying Western music in school. However,these were dangerous times in the country, with the mad dictator Idi Amin in power, and in 1977, Oryema's father fell victim, being one of many who was murdered by the armed forces. Oryema knew he was likely to be killed soon, unless he got out. Thanks to friends, he was smuggled across the border to Kenya in the trunk of a car to safety. Or, rather, relative safety. He was in a place with no family or friends and began his wanderings, which saw him eventually making his way to Paris. This is where he settled down and started making music.
His music ranges from very upbeat Caribbean tribal dance music, to very haunting and mournful acoustic music. I first heard the song "Makambo" on the Pure Moods compilation CD when i was 15 years old, and since then, i have been in love with his music.
i hope you all enjoy his music as well :)
