I know a lot of these Indian jawns end up sounding the same after awhile, but I think this one is a real stand out. Lots of heavy percussion, flute, sitar + cool tempo and vocal changes.
Still exciting on these here shores? or just chirp-fodder best left for the Son-of-Soulstrut?

I was excited
If they want to be I suppose. Although they tend to get into trouble when talking about their white heritage.
ethnic means non white in og terms. Its a separatist term to establish an heirarchy.
White and everyone else = bullshit.
whos the real minority?
If your grandma's bathtub was in her kitchen or outside, she was ethnic, no matter whether it was in Sumatra, the Lower East Side, or West Virginia.
Not really. It is generally used when speaking of the old world (but not the Old World per se), global or local cultural lineages that often predate the melting pot and the modern forms of commercialism that came afterward. Old traditions of Sweden, Ireland, Germany, could all be considered ethnic, as could early Appalachian mountain music. Heritage that came from the inside-out as opposed to the outside-in.
there is obviously some non ethnic catagory if u say ethnic.
its bullshit
whats next..... colored?
Maybe non-English language music is what was meant?
so the man has no ethnicity?
:lol:
belgian and asian and american waffles come from humans......wtf?
its a bullcrap term
Ethnic means pertaining to a particular culture.
In musical terms it usually refers indigenous forms of music because modern music like rock, or even classical, is not unique to a single culture.
And yes, it refers to musics of all people, not sure why you are getting all hot and bothered.
keep it real.......if someone posted a Pat Boone song dont front like u would agree with it being considered "ethnic".
the idea of pure culture or 'particular' culture is flimsy.
whats a single culture?
No offense, but now you just sound ignorant.
Until recently, the world had many of thousands of unique cultures. With the onset of modernity that number is dwindling rapidly. I really don't know how anyone who cares about music (or culture in general) could be unaware of this. When you see Folkways or Ocora records, what do you think is on them?
Culture that predates establishment or commercial mechanisms can be deemed ethnic. It doesn't really have anything to do with race. I, personally, wouldn't call that Punjab MC youtube up there "ethnic" as it was obviously designed to sell CDs, too modern, too commercial of a purpose. "The Man" has no ethnicity.
jungles, snow mountains, islands or poor hoods i dont see it.
If you're talking about something specific like "Songs of the Baddi Community of Garhwal" then surely that's the very definition of Ethnic Music.
But if you're using it as a label for anything that is Indian music, you're on shaky ground.
where is the cutoff point?
before recorded music didnt cultures influence each other?
The Man means white folks at the top and then everyone else. It doesnt mean the white man as the other.
im in the 21 century......how bout yall?
Ron Hightower is an ethnic banger. Hiyooooo!
I don't understand.
If I was to post up a Lebanese autotune ballad from this past summer or last year's Kenyan pop dance hit with almost a million YouTube hits, would it belong in this thread?
^^^^^ this. for sure. Shaky ground also includes what American record stores often refer to as "World Music" or "International".
No, at least not as examples of ethnic music.
I would think No
