I waited until I play before commenting. A wonderful group of musicians. It's good to hear new ideas come filtering through.

Hi, Eki!

I'm afraid this has not much to do with the portuguese Fado... Fado is sadness, is drama, and the portuguese guitar has to be present, but nothing better than give you two Youtube links:

- this is Amalia Rodrigues (in 1961), the late all time Fado diva: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VEsoPN7rrw

- and this is the new voice of Fado, the spectacular Marisa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7UDQDl1tcw&feature=related

Just put it loud and listen to their fantastic voices. Hope you enjoy!

Great post and photos.

Indonesian music sounds very different specially with the gangelon metallic noise.

Interesting and fun music.

Hi Eki,

The video played just fine for me. I'm glad you put that in you post because, as I read the post, I was thinking "I'd like to hear some of this music" and there it was!

Thanks for sharing!

I was able to see and hear the clip with no problem Eki. I was struck at how it sounded somewhat like american country music to me. Very enjoyable and interesting....

It's was nostalgic to me when listen to keroncong.I love that kind of music..and Hatty Koes Endang is my fav. singer for her few keroncong version.

We have keroncong here but I hardly get to hear them..maybe once in a blue moon. Gamelan is played here too. Too bad most people go for the modern music nowadays.

Thanks for the visit and info Clara, Herrod. I'm sorry that you could not play the video. I just found out that it was the setting in my U-Tube account. I have corrected it. I hope it works fine this time.

Interesting. The video clip didn't work.

I wasn't able to play the video. It said it was private. I'm disappointed because I'd really love to hear them play. To American ears it seems an unusual combination of instruments. Thanks for the music lesson!
