A very long time ago, I think it was around 2002 or 2003 I worked in a small R&D office that was 2 blocks from a local library, and I would go there on my lunch hour a few times during the week.
At one point I started looking at the CDs and discovered they had a section called “World Music” which caught my interest. And so I looked through it and took some back to my desk to listen to as I worked.
This is when I discovered Afro Celt Sound System – I don’t remember what album it was but I LOVED it and after that looked for more in the World Music collection. This led me to discover such wonders as Angelic Kidjo and Baaba Maal, ,and I never looked back.
Which is why I think I’ve loved kpop and many indie Korean Musicians. My iTunes list includes so much fun music, from Yo Yo Ma, to Japanese Pop to Bonnie Raitt and Justin Timberlake among all my Korean artists such as Standing Egg, Hoody, Dean and Verbal Jint to name a few.
But when this song comes on I always stop and want to thank them for being such a wonderful group.
If you haven’t heard them they have collaborated with the likes of Peter Gabriel and Sinead O’Connor with fabulous results.
So I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
Stay safe and wash your hands everyone!!!
Oooh I like this! I used to be the same – just wander the music stacks at the library and try whatever caught my eye. It’s led to a very eclectic music library that can be a bit jarring when I put it on random.
Thanks – I’m glad you like it, and not at all surprised that you would like it too!
It’s hard to share my music with others as they just don’t get how wonderful music is from around the world. Especially this group.
So I enjoy it all on my own….

I love it! It reminds me a little of the Alt J songs I like and oddly, James Taylor.
