What are you listening to?

A collection of musical pieces showing the characteristic and somewhat solemn style of Puccini.

 
As soon as the opening riff kicked in, I just knew this was going to be a good listen. Richie Blackmore is a strange soul. Very talented, but mercurial and perhaps a little selfish. He's a terrific guitarist, and on this song the whole band is on great form. Taken from the 1974 era of Deep Purple. One of my favourite bands.

 
New tune from two great Polish artists - Sanah and Daria Zawiałow.


I also recommend to check out other Sanah songs, only in Polish :) It's interesting cause she's mixing modern music with live instruments like violin and language used by modern teenagers with old-fashioned expressions.

My personal favourites:
 
As I can see most of the last added things are classic. I would also like to share something in these climates. From my recent musical discoveries that I really didn't realize is Weinberg. This is really good, at least in my opinion.

 
"Le Chant des Partisans" was the anthem of the French Resistance during the Second World War. The music was composed in 1941 in London by the singer Anna Marly, on a Russian text, her native language. The original French lyrics were written by Joseph Kessel and Maurice Druon in May 1943. The whistled song became the theme music for the BBC's "Honneur et Patrie" programme and a sign of recognition in the maquis.

This video of a cool little jig was posted the other day on an Irish traditional music channel. I would guess it's partly where the Appalachian flatfooting comes from:

According to this website:
It doesn’t come as much surprise that clogging has roots in Ireland, Scotland, and England. In the fifth century, Irish pagans created a type of step dancing called a “soft jig”. By the mid-18th century, as a byproduct of the Industrial Revolution in Northern England, another type of stepdancing formed called the “Lancashire Clog”. As Europeans began to immigrate, these forms of clogging made their way to America. Many Irish and Scotts-Irish immigrants settled in Appalachia (“Historic Timeline”).

I spent quite a bit of time in Lancashire and don't think i ever saw a performance of this kind of flatfoot/clog dancing, Morris dancing, yes, but not clogging. I think it's a sign of how little traditional culture has managed to survive in much the UK.
 
My 13year old son has been obsessed with a video game, Deep Rock Galactic, and I love the music. Both albums are great. Here's one of my favorites: Horror of Hoxxes
