I Feel Quechuan When I’m High

[SuperManiac]

I feel Quechuan when I'm high (on life and other things). All I need to do is learn Quechuan and my eagle spirit journey over the Andes will be complete. Here's some music I discovered to aid in the journey in case there are any other fellow Quechuan-wannabes:

Anyone else into this sort of thing? Have some music to share? I just discovered this sort of thing in the past year or so.

I'm South American and often enjoy listening to Andean music, for much that's becoming less frequent here.

Wannabes are pathetic.

[SuperManiac]

I agree! :-D It's weird though because I like a lot of folk music (even like European music from the middle ages), but this Latin American type seems to resonate with me more for some reason than usual.

I love Quechan music, myself, but I never "feel Quechan". I just like the music.

[SuperManiac]

I actually have this weird imagery like I'm in the Amazon or something when I listen to it. It's a bit cheesy but I don't know. It feels unusually extremely familiar even though I just recently became exposed to it. Maybe the scales and chords just really work well for my ears.

Ecua. Nazca. Quechua. Taracua.

Thanks 😊

I'm enjoying the melodic percussion; reminds me of happier, more uplifting Tobacco

the mountains and drugs, powerful culture

That's awesome! It's a bit different from what I was seeking but that's the first time I've ever encountered a video this long where I can jump to any random spot and like what I'm hearing.

Reminds me ever-so-slightly of MOD music from Amiga and Commodore 64 days.

well if you're thinking Commodore 64...

the first 20 seconds are iffy but the rest is rewarding

Nice! I think video games were always a strong influence behind some of my musical tastes. I am not sure where I got this whole love of Latin American music. I was exposed to Robin Perkins (El Buho) and that just really clicked with me, like this:

I'm kind of a weirdo though. I don't know if I can appreciate music as well on a purely auditory level. I actually often like it on a "visual" level, like I hear some music and it conjures up images in my head. Then I really like the song if I like the images.

[tenukitanuki]

That's quite nice; I used to listen to this on the way to Spanish but it's a fairly known classic:

and distinctly Cuban. But if you want some jungle funk that questions your own sanity

The first one sounds quite nice to me from sampling various parts of it. The second one makes me really uncomfortable while wanting to strangle somebody. :-D

[tenukitanuki]

Yeah there's a whole bunch of foreign funk compilations that are truly fantastic but Thai Rocksteady may be acquired taste
