Feeling passionate again, writing down what I feel
What inspires me to make art ? Cartoons, movies, people around me... but what gave that new special spice in my compositions ? What happened for me to suddently add so much colors, deformations, and so much happier vibes ?
My new, recently discovered (3 years), favourite music style
Balkan music
Oh, balkan music...
Listening to this music feels like I'm completely rediscovering it every time
It's so incredibly rich
It's a cocktail of so many genres; jazz, swing, ska, folk, klezmer, middle-east...
Oh my world it's so pretty, it's so pretty
And how is it so unknown, seeing how many styles get mixed up in this music ?
It's not just stupid repetitive tones and goat-like singing as others like to call it... it's pure happiness, it's pure culture mixing, it's as if friendship was music
It's accoustic, it's so natural although the result of dozens of years of practice, it's a reconnection with nature
It's so intense of emotions, it can be sadness or joy
But either way, it's absolutely beautiful
Always so rich in tones
I see colors when I listen to it
It became my drug
Listening to it is like a sugar rush
I want to completely rediscover it and forget about the world
"Woah... it's... it's like swing but so much more spiced up!!" - 2020 me
It's so unique...
... it's a spiritual experience
And I'm still all alone in this, the people around me have zero interest in it. Weird tho, for django reinhardt's country...
I just want to say to anyone who likes jazz and has never heard of balkan music... please give it a try, there's a big chance you won't regret this
