    Honshirabe by Rodrigo Rodriguez Koten Shakuhachi Music performed and recorded in 2009 for the documentary Witness of the Past ( Himalaya ) http://www.rodrigo-rodriguez.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cb9ZkcLIgLo "Honshirabe" literally means "basic melody". The technical and mental approaches to this piece represent the basic building blocks of shakuhachi honkyoku. It is said that some monks played this song their entire lives as part of a Buddhist training aimed at squeezing everything possible out of it and themselves. Of course, this does not mean that they were continually playing, but, more significantly, that they were "living" shakuhachi as a spiritual discipline.

    hard to say, a friend of mine owns a "classical" record shop and he had to add a 'WORLD' shelf because that's what people are looking for, less classical, jazz or avant-garde. in this group, criteria of quality is high-value contribution of artists to a 'new world music' which fuses the original with the traditional, with a progressive approach and on world level. thx for asking.

    Oh silly me. Just noticed that S_Taste is you ! Is this the new plan ? Introduce 'robotic' clones of yourself to improve 'quality'? Great idea, but could be improved upon. How about 'The Most Sophisticated Taste in the World....Ever !' group.You could lead and you could join up the 'robots' - with 'owner approval' of course ; )

    Alec, how is it that the latest member of this group has only 9 plays (as of 28th December) and they get to be 'owner approved'? On what basis is that exactly? Friend of the family, perhaps?

  • SirAlecHendrix

    folk music formerly meant what is now called traditional music, seeThe Motherworld of Traditional Music. 'folk' today is considered a broad "genre" of popular music comprising singer-songwriters, rock subgenres and so-called folk revivals, see The Mothership of Folk. "world" is a marketing term for a different group of popular music which we try to sharpen with this group. usually all three terms are confused by most people ...

    is there any difference between folk and world music?

    December 2008

  • SirAlecHendrix

    when i listened, the radio was quite a mix of decent and off-topic tracks, like with most groups. i'm quite shure we could elaborate a decade or so ;) but i promise that it will be worked out damned earlier ... BTW since i closed some groups, growth rate increased (that's how we people behave).

    Hey, but wait, I take it all back on the balance point. The group radio, this week, is pretty damn good.The fact that it appears to be, mainly, an 'old' jazz station doesn't make it anything like ' new world' ,but it still sounds sweet to me. Zoe Keating on the cello, Lee Perry, Richie Havens and Telemann just add to the flavour. Alec, perhaps you should change this group name to ' Sophisticated Elitist Jazz Taste'. It appears to be more jazzy than some of your 'Jazz' groups. I await the breakthrough to the 'new world' - perhaps in around.....er... a decade or so, maybe? Still don't like the open to closed group thing.I could elaborate, if you really want?

    At present the group radio is heavily overbalanced with 'ambient' and 'new age' tracks, which don't sound too ' new world' (whatever that means) to me. There is some good/interesting(chose your own descriptive term) stuff breaking through,thankfully. Personally, I'm not too keen on closing the group at this stage. Perhaps it may have been a good idea to have started off as an 'owner approved' group. Then Alec could have selected members on the basis of the sounds they play; in order to produce a more varied radio mix. Alec, are you saying that, currently, the 'quality' of this group is so lacking that you now need to take drastic action in order to make it more 'cutting edge'?

  • SirAlecHendrix

    after creation of the Mothership of World Music which belongs to the realm of Contemporary Popular music, i changed join policy for this group to 'Owner Approval' in order to increase quality and develop this group as the true spearhead of an avant-garde 'World Music' on last.fm. comments ?

    Somewhere at the juncture of New Age, World Music, Devotional, and sheer musical mastery lies a font of profound wonderment and evergreen spirit... Experience Deep Listening.
