No video, but the "Oongowa ooga booga" routine here has to count, right?

oh man does my daughter love this song :(

Slits, Creatures, Bow Wow Wow

I love these bands and their very different rhythms!

Where's the line between cultural appropriation and just loving another culture's music?

in fact i'd say cultural appropriation is done from a place of love, or at least like, most of the time. doesn't mean it's ok.

Pulsallama was the first thing that sprang to mind but I see someone Ungawa'd already. I love this kind of stuff and have even thought of doing a night devoted to it - 'Kultural Appropriation'

Need to zzzz now but here's a couple -

Notorische Reflexe - Das Afrikateil - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4m8wiiJKCo

oh, and Ze Records probably the label most guilty of this. Viva Ze!

Cristina - Jungle Love - Cristina - Jungle Love - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjevnAujb94

Lydia Lunch - Atomic Bongos - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4ole_bRTdw

the 7" of this is a prime candidate but isn't on Youtube. This version gives a rough idea -

Ze Records is a a treasure trove for dicey cultural appropriation

To what degree were Eno and Talking Heads 'appropriating' Fela Kuti etc on ILX poll-winner The Great Curve's backing vocals (and other places) on Remain In Light?

piscesx, Thursday, 24 May 2018 11:26 (seven years ago)

Savage Republic?
Del Byzateens
Salad From Atlantis Brighton crustie punks play Turkish folk stuff

Stevolende, Thursday, 24 May 2018 11:50 (seven years ago)

I think the safest thing would be for all of these to just try and be like The Pastels from now on
