Shadow Music of Thailand
Category General
Product Description
Shadow Music” was a broad term given to the Thai guitar pop movement of the 1960s and the groups that came out of it — all under the profound influence of early Western rock and roll. British instrumental wonders The Shadows (as in Cliff Richards & The Shadows) were the origin of the genre’s title — also coined “Wong Shadow” or early Thai “string” music. Shadow records were often marketed as “Thai Modernized Music” which it was in the truest sense. Traditional Thai melodies were given the Shadow treatment — incorporating rock, surf, a-go-go, exotica, soul, blues, Latin and otherworldly styles of the times. Inventive compositions and instrumental genius meet the occasional odd vocal arrangement and the result… More >>

Rough Guide to the Music of Morocco
Category General
Amazon.com
The North African nation of Morocco possesses a diverse music scene, where traditional and popular styles collide and collude. Sacred and secular concerns are omnipresent. Gutty strings and nasal, resonant singers wend their way through sweet-sour scales, hypnotic rhythms, and knife-sharp harmonies. A tinny taxi radio blares a new chaabi (pop) hit, a street-side bard bawls out a broadside, an all-female chorus accompanied by an all-male back-up band wanders from party to party, and a local TV station airs a concert by a classical Arab-Andalouse orchestra–all this while the minaret of every mosque in town simultaneously intones the Muslim call to prayer. It must have been a challenge to gather so many complex and consta… More >>
