I would not recommend that you buy this CD then — I am not likely too — but one of the great things about RP is that you can listen to the individual tunes here at different times.  There are a lot of songs that I hear and enjoy here, but I may not enjoy the whole CDs that those songs are on.

I find that most of that album is in fact quite enjoyable. Good stuff!

Nothing musical about this.  Painful to the point I must exercise my option to mute.

Mari Boine's work has some similarities to Native American songs, to my very untutored ear, which makes me wonder: is there any genetic relation between Native American and Sami peoples? Other than being human, of course.

I'm surprised that her work rates so low on RP - it sounds pretty accessible to me and not over-exotic for the Western ear. It's really growing on me :o)

I am surprised to see so many negative reactions to this.  I don't hear any dissonance at all, and I've been keening my ear to find some.  It's not in a typical major or minor scale, but that's not the same thing. The rhythms are really fascinating, and the texture is intensely varied.  It has plenty of what I value most in music, which is coherence.

Listening to this over a braised acculturated earth-native ear with fava beans. As with this song, parts of it are okay - but I do encounter a bit of gristle here and there.

Here is a video by Mona J. Hoel :
 " Vuolgge mu mielde Bassivárrái ("Come With Me to the Sacred Mountain) is a dream of freedom from Western civilization's oppression of minorities. Mari Boine portrays a woman who tries to escape from the darkness, the bleak conditions of the Sami people after the Norwegian colonization."

I think it probably sounds most dynamically expressive if you happen to understand Saami.

Most beautiful place in the Southwest. This photo does no justice.



 
20 years or so ago we also toured Canyon De Chelly.  First on horseback and then on the Indian run military jeeps and trucks.  On both tours we had calm serene scenes and then fast racing.  Our guides had great respect for their past.  They also had a lot of fun with racing up and down the river.  It was a blast.

And you're right about the photo.

Never forget that if you don't like something you can turn it down or find a different place to listen to music. That's the beauty of being free.{#Yes}
