While I was surfing the internet today, I came across a cool african website that featured a lot of information about the african culture as well as links to african music. Me, being the music freak that I am, of course visited the links leading to african music, which I actually found to be really awesome. Here's the first link that I went to:

I thought this was really cool because it involved multiple elements of music. It started off with a more relaxed brass sector and then evolves into an upbeat tune with drums and African singing. The complexity of the piece is pretty interesting since it goes from one type of genre to another. I really like the african voices because it adds a lot of diversity into the song itself, ultimately making the song more interesting.
Listening to music of different cultures is so cool for me since I am very into traveling and learning about new interesting things. Listening to this kind of stuff makes me feel like I'm in an African safari, which is something I have always wanted to do. Its amazing what music can do to a person; deceive them into thinking that they are in a different place than they actually are, and the creative things that it stimulates the brain to do. Every type of music makes me think of something different, whether it be a color, a painting, or an experience. But listening to culturally diverse music makes me able to think that I am on some sort of trip to a different country or place, which is something that I love to do.
