Been listening alot to etno and world music lately. Alot of Midival Punditz, Transglobal Underground, Banco De Gaia, Juno Reactor, Asian Dub Foundation etc.
Although the master of them all must be Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Some of his tunes are remixed by big names such as Massive Attack, Talvin Singh, Asian Dub Foundation etc.
The passion in his songs is amazing. He sings with his entire soul. Not just with his tounge.
For those of you who don't know about Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, he died in 1997, and was one of the most popular Qawali musicians in the world. Qawali is a an etno style which is heavily influenced from the sufi tradition of Islam where dancing into trance with a dhol (basic drum) and bangras is widely common.
Would be nice if trance music went back and borrowed more from this old traditional dance traditions.
LOVELY STUFF!!!! |

| Rebel9 what an interesting concept - i've always been fascinated with Fateh Ali Khan - he definatly is very powerful and his music and voice with his various group members give a 'trance-like' vibe. The similarities although seemingly far-fetched are much more real than one can imagine, only in his latter life did remix's occur - although i beleive there could be some amazing outcomes with some of his music being remixed into a 'club' style. Lets hope there are some (trance i would prefer) that can be willing to take such a challenge on. |

Yeah I agree. Especially someone with Juno Reactors callibre. This works totally. Just take a listen to Juno Reactor - God is God (Rock of Sion remix). Which is a perfect example how etno music works excellent with trancy elements. The way Natacha Atlas chants in arabic over the heavy bassline is so damaging! |

| It would be interesting to see some ethnic influences in trance, not that they don't or didn't exist in the past, 90s psy-trance had a strong eastern vibe. I've noticed that the recent solid globe tunes, crystal water and black woods had a somewhat "Fairytalish" north-european folklore feel and that was very interesting IMO. Anyways, i wouldn't like to see trance going tribal and stuff that would be terrible i think! I loath and hate the dark proggy tribal stuff that were famous in the beginning of the 00s (sasha and digweed, steve lawler, danny howels, danny tenaglia) and they were sooo overplayed in greece. I think that "trance" was always distinquished for it's melodies and lead-lines, it was always about the fast nervous hypnotic rhythms and the emotional ecstatic (gated) melodies on top, so if trance must go somewhere, than it should get more melodically elaborated(sympho-trance?sympho-tech?art-trance maybe LOL?) |

DJ Shah & Laruso - Zanzibar and San Salvador have ethnic influences. I'de also say a lot of the more tribal progressive house stuff definitely has ethnic influences. It's just trance itself has shied away from that, trying to be more futuristic sounding. But I think it would be cool if trance did have more ethnic sounds, like tribal drums and chanting.
It would also be cool to have native and south american, and not just african influences, which are already prevalent in a lot of EDM (African music was one of the first forms of dance music, since Africa was the cradle of life essentially, and drums were one of the first instruments). I know Juno Reactor did, like on their CD "Shango". A lot of that is essentially the same, heavy drumming and chanting in order to communicate with spirits and explore the spirit world. This is essentially an altered state of consciousness or trance-state. |

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ethology is the scientific study of animal behavior considered as a branch of zoology. A scientist who practices ethology is called an ethologist.
The desire to understand the animal world has made ethology a rapidly growing field, and even since the turn of the 21st century, many prior understandings related to diverse fields such as animal communication, personal symbolic name use, animal emotions, animal culture and learning, and even sexual conduct, long thought to be well understood, have been revolutionized, as have new fields such as neuroethology.
therefore "ethology" explores thinks such as...
"Imprinting"
A second important finding of Lorenz concerned the early learning of young nidifugous birds, a process he called "imprinting". Lorenz observed that the young of birds such as geese and chickens spontaneously followed their mothers from almost the first day after they were hatched, and he discovered that this response could be imitated by an arbitrary stimulus if the eggs were incubated artificially and the stimulus was presented during a critical period (a less temporally constrained period is called a sensitive period) that continued for a few days after hatching.
Quite interesting ha...?!? |

Wow. That's crazy you'd post such a topic because I've been thinking about how it would be nice to have some sort of ethnic influence on trance. I really like 'indian' style music and would love to see it more in my favourite genre - trance.
