Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 4 - October 2019 /// Camarón de la isla - La leyenda del tiempo

Alright, just went through the 80s. Everybody that could be considered world music that wasn't on my list above is either still alive or didn't have a Philips release.

90s, 00s & 10s

Isn't this just the best? I loved the experience. It pushed me far out of my comfort zone. And made me feel even more engaged with the great community.

I wish I knew more about World Music so I could contribute more than just silly jokes. Alas, I don't. But our forum sleuths are really impressing me this month!!!

Exactly the same. I think all we can do is try to crack the cryptic clues and have fun, or in my case act like an ass haha!

Hmmmmm! Am i mean enough to say or should they be allowed to reveal themselves haha!

Since we are talking about Bossa Nova. I really think VMP missed the boat in classics when it did the Getz/Byrd album. I just recently discovered Joao Gilberto-Joao Gilberto, amazing album. There is no recent reissue as well.

Everybody in the 90s is still alive.

Jokes aside, the fact that the singer is dead and the hint of New York kind of eliminate every single idea that I can have...

Does this thing count as world music?

Any vocals on it?

 

[dhodo]

Belchior is dead and Alucinacao is sort of available but I can't connect to Montreux.

 

[Waitressboy]

Any vocals on it?

Oh, you're right, it's not instrumental. Damn.

Plus, this description on Wikipedia is the least interesting thing I've read on my life:

• John McLaughlin - plays on centre channel - nylon-string guitar.
• Al Di Meola - plays on left channel - Ovation steel-string acoustic guitar.
• Paco de Lucía - plays on right channel - nylon-string guitar.

What about this Elis by Elis Regina?
IF it's Elis Regina (which I think it is), I still have no goddam clue how this fits the NY hint.

It does in my book, but I think it sits right on the edge of my definition. It isn't a "pure" form of indigenous/folk music, but it is not jazz only. It is jazz heavily informed by flamenco and other kinds of music.

I believe that is the one that was ruled out when @agutierrezb killed all current guesses.

Oh, it was that Elis? That woman had zero imagination when she had to come with a title for her albums, she has like forty-eight albums called Elis. That, or she barely knew any word in Portuguese. Me, I also know very few words in Portuguese: banana, feijoada, Xuxa, carnaval and morango. I know that morango is a word, but I don't know what it means. I think it's peach.
Oh, Xuxa would've been an awesome pick too. Everybody loves Xuxa.

Morango is strawberry.
I'll let Xuxa introduce herself

 

[Waitressboy]

Morango is strwaberry.

This is my all time favorite video of Xuxa:



It's a shame there's not a subtitled version, because it's like a SNL sketch.
