Over the years I have gained a real affinity for old music from other countries.
.
This came partly from searching for obscure bits to sample, back in my beat making days. Looking outside the usual soul, funk & jazz that most heads were mining, world music was a sure shot for unique sounds.
.
I continued to encounter these tunes from from far off lands by way of movie soundtracks, compilation albums, old girl friends & occasionally the local public radio stations.
.
Good music can be a time machine, a mood altering substance, and a one way ticket to vivid daydreams.
.
Listening to music from other times and places has long been a part of my creative process. In my opinion, it's one of the best ways to get yourself out of mundane daily thoughts and point you in a more imaginative direction.
.
This playlist ranges from Arabic jazz, African psychedelia, Italian ballads, calypso, early American jazz, soul, doo wop, retro French sounds, Brazilian funk & more.
.
Hope you find a song or two you can add to your regular rotation.
