Maybe here?

edit: yes there, go to the JT page and click then on the loudspeaker icon at the bottom of the page, my favourite there is "Attendu", but "Camping Del Mundo" is good as well

I see now, they sound great!

My station will have it's first Belgian artists, Thanks.

Now I need some Icelandic, Dutch, Czech, Luxemburg, Lithuanian, and Estonian.

And about 25 Asian countries.

I do have some Bashkortostan music by the way.

Uz Jsme Doma is a fantastic Czech artpunk band, but that won`t fit the bill, I guess?

Actually I play anybody doing something original/creative, and or demonstating a lot of musical talent.

So, yes, if they fit in that category, and it's an international station so it tilts the balance that's so heavily American, English leaning.

I'll Czech them out.

THEY ARE AMAZING!!!!

That's just the stuff I like to play.

Dissonance, phenomenal musicians, and really unique and creative chord and rythm progressions, excellent composition.

Thanks.

Too bad only one sample is at 64k. I broadcast at 56, anything below that sounds terrible converted up to 56k.

Ha Ha!

There's a quote from Nils of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum on their web page.

SGM I play, and are made up of members of Charming Hostess.

You really should check them out.

By the way look what I found on the way home. Haven't seen Westmalle in this town in over a year and a half.

Weird eh?

Hehe I hope you enjoyed it! I drank some Belgian beer as well, last night...

Btw, you should check out Think of One, they evolved from some sort of Antwerpian brass band to collaborations with musicians from Morocco (Marrakech Ensembles 3) and Brazil (on their latest record, Chuva Em Po)... They got a price from the English folkmagazine fRoots... I think their website is http://www.thinkofone.be, but I`m having problems loading it at the moment...
edit: fixed

and there`s also the Belgian(Walloon)/Congolese band Zap Mama, they`re also very good... and Belgian Afrobeat Association tries to do something with the King of Afrobeat left behind... I saw them live a few weeks ago and it was very impressive... especially the African percussionists...

Zap Mama is pretty well known here. Didn't know they were part Belgian.

Some more clarrifications (not to say that any of the bands you mentioned fit under this umbrella)

Here in the states, we have commercial and public radio.

Nearly all promotion that would give an artist a chance to earn enough to eat and pay to live in a small flat comes from these 2 entities.

Commercial sold out a long time ago to the corporate business world that as nothing to do with music anymore, just money.

Public lost state funding about 8 years ago and has learned the same tricks as commercial to keep their prominance.

Public were the only stations that played any international music. They only play Tropical World Music now though.

South West and North Africa. and Central and South America.

I don't play any German or East European polka stuff unless it's really twisted.

Mexican/Tejano (for the most part) came from Czech imigrants playing polka in Texas. The natives thought it was the "happiest music they ever heard"

So........

I wouldn't play Bavarian Beer polka stuff, neither would I play the Tejano Latin stuff.

The tropical stuff you can here every day here on public radio, but no North Afican stuff with Arab influence. No Eastern European, no Northern European, no Asian, no Native American, no Gypsy, No MiddleEastern, not much fusion or progressive takes on the genres.

These are the holes I try to fill in the music world.

If there are really talented or inovative artists from the tropics, and they're not already getting a lot of promotion, I will play them of course.

Think of One is another band that's just what I'm looking for.

I'm so glad I found this forum.

Thanks Orpheus!!!

Oh no problem, it`s very nice to see someone so eagerly picking up my suggestions

Leading Lady from Zap Mama, Marie Daulne had a Belgian father and a Congolese mother or vice versa, I`m not wholly sure... She lives now in Belgium...

World/folk music doesn`t get that much attention here either... It`s just not hip enough, I guess...
