#ever heard salsa music with bagpipes and fiddles?

[spacevixenmusic]

Hi, as a music collector this is highly relevant to my interests! Personal recommendations include:

70s/80s Poland (esp. jazz, there's a whole thing about how jazz was repressed in Poland during the Stalinist era and the evolution of the genre after his death)

80s Brazil (nobody fuckin BOPS like Brazilian pop music okay?!)

90s Sweden/Norway/Finland (a lot of cool experimental folk/rock/electronica in this era, you're bound to encounter some Björk-like stuff in the process)

70s Philippines (^ spacedumpster above said it best, ANY COUNTRY's 70s music is bound to be fucking amazing)

60s Jamaica (especially recommended if you like ska/punk, now you get to hear the origins and what makes that genre of music so goddamn FUN!)

one of my friends found radiooooo which is a site that streams music from any country from any decade (well, most countries/decade combos work) and we’ve been digging going on a quest to find what is rad

so far the following is good

50s/60s/70s/80s russia

70s cambodia

20s japan

80s ethiopia

80s india
