What Music from which cultural is your favorite?

There is really a lot of ancient Music out there some better than others which one do you favor?

There is really a lot of ancient Music out there

is there really?

[Fawkes]

This question would be far better posed without a poll. If I love Javanese Gamelan but hate K-Pop, should I still check Asian? (I don't particularly hate k-pop) The poll options are both highly eurocentric and falsely homogenizing. Anyway, the discussion topic itself is a good one, so here goes....

If forced to pick one answer, I'd probably choose American. The majority of music I love is from America.

However, I also love a lot of Caribbean music (reggae, ska, dancehall, soca, calypso, dub, reggaeton), African (afrobeat, high life, whatever you wanna call Malian kora music), Chinese (teochew), Indonesian (gamelan), Brazilian (baile funk), Angolan (kudoro) and whatever country you'd say for klezmer. England and Ireland have also produced some amazing musicians in all sorts of genres.

I'll post some videos later

[Ocean Seal]

I would say that Irish music is my favorite type.

[Trap Queen Voxxy]

I really like music from my culture, Romani, don't think it was on the list though.

I've been listening to a lot of French black metal as of late.

[El Oso Rojo]

I like Latin music Middle eastern music. I like a rap group from Monterey, Mexico called Control machete, also have a like for el gran siliencio, and DAM from palestine.

[Stadtsmasher]

I'm a big fan of middle-eastern music. It seems to cross cultural barriers particularly easily.

[Left Leanings]

I like Indian classical music. I love the sound of the sitar, tabla and flute.

[gorillafuck]

this is confusing. do you mean like, the folk music of these countries/areas? traditional music? modern music?

I think he might mean the traditional folk music from the country. Of course i could be wrong.

[marl]

Norwegian metal is a very important aspect of the Norwegian culture.

Along with burning churches. And Neo-Nazis murdering Stalinists.

[gorillafuck]

as far as national folk music I probably like Irish the best. but I haven't heard much eastern folk music at all.

[Prometeo liberado]

I used to love this Andean band called Alturas. The head of the band was the professor of woodwind instruments at the local uni.

I am a big fan of Russian folk songs!

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

this poll is ridiculous just remove it bro

[leftistman]

I put Russian, but I also love Latin-American music. I'm also a fan of Jewish music, but that's probably because I was raised as a Jew.

[Sam_b]

I don't understand the sense or politics about grouping music into "cultural" or geographic spheres, considering music has often crossed physical and national borders.

[Robespierres Neck]

This was hard. I selected Russia, since I'm a huge fan of its revolutionary tunes (The Red Army Choir) and they have many great composers (Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Rachmaninoff, Khachaturian).
I like all kinds of cultural music though. I really like French music. Music from India and the Middle East is fantastic. Traditional Japanese and Chinese music. Latin music. Norwegian black metal. Hungarian music. I love all the cultural diversity put into song.
