Around The World In 80 Or So Days

Hayden · 2017-10-16T19:48:09-04:00

I've never made a music 'journal', and I wouldn't even consider this one, but some recent inspiration sparked an idea. Over the past 12-18 months, I've tried my best to think of music internationally, different concept, different production techniques, progressions, textures, vocal styles, etc... whatever's been used over time around the world, and how styles crossover and vary. Starting soon, I'll be heading abroad for several months, ready to explore/talk about music with as many people as I can. I've chatted Kendrick, Fado and Paredes with people in Lisbon, French highlife with people in France, the punk scene in Bordeaux, the indie scene in Toronto, hip-hop in Barcelona, why Italians listen to so much Leonard Cohen, etc... always learning something or another. I have a few charts based on certain regions/ continents: Mannish Water by Hayden Biltong & Mandazis by Hayden Ceviche & Empanadas by Hayden Laksa & Phanaeng by Hayden And I've thought about making more, but my knowledge is pretty slim of some areas (Middle East, Asia, Oceania, Eastern Europe...), and in recent months I've wanted to explore some regions of the world I know little about. Traditional music, modern music, hip music, underground, the classics, etc... trying to find what's great. Of course, some countries have always stood out internationally (Canada, Germany, UK, States, Brazil, Japan, Sweden, France...), but there are some that I know absolutely nothing about (Mongolia, Morocco, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Honduras), and I'm curious to see what turns up. My goal is that by the end of this journal (no set date, but near future, probably won't be 80 days) is to have listened to at least one album from every country (roughly 200 or so...). Some new, some revisits, but I'm hoping by the end I'll have learned a little bit about everywhere. I'll write small blurbs about each, but I doubt they'll be very long. I'm hoping for you guys to shell out some recs from your home countries, whatever might be considered 'essential' there, but ignored in other countries. See how this all turns out... hoping for the best result :) Doc'd countries— Zimbabwe, Djibouti, Austria, Nepal, Cuba, New Zealand, Netherlands, Malawi, Kenya, Belize, Iraq, Moldova, Indonesia, Mexico, Eswatini, Peru, Brunei, England, Ethiopia, Guadeloupe, Tanzania, Pakistan, Guam, Egypt, Nicaragua, Fiji, Burkina Faso, Vietnam, Belarus, Mongolia, Cameroon, Nigeria, Germany, United States of America, Poland, Curaçao, Suriname, Japan, South Africa, Estonia, Ghana, Jamaica, Argentina, Micronesia, Australia, Qatar, Greenland, St. Lucia, Kyrgyzstan, Malta, Switzerland, Yemen, Ireland, Chad, Uganda, Saint Kitts & Nevis, Algeria, Madagascar, Sweden, Bahamas, Italy, Mozambique, Sao Tome & Principe, Malaysia, St. Vincent & The Grenadines, Macau, DR Congo, Mauritania, Paraguay, Botswana, Comoros, Niger, Hungary, China, Trinidad & Tobago, Sudan, Haiti, Martinique, Lebanon, Guinea-Bissau, Zambia, Bermuda, Bolivia, Libya, Guyana, India, Mauritius, Equatorial Guinea, Afghanistan, Senegal, Eritrea, Israel, Somalia, Syria, Papua New Guinea, Gambia, Faroe Islands, Dominican Republic, Seychelles, Tajikistan, French Guiana, Bangladesh, Kiribati, Isle of Man, Mali, Azerbaijan, Guinea, Western Sahara, Russia, Myanmar, Canada, Luxembourg, Wales, Liechtenstein, Spain, Palestine, Jordan, South Korea, Dominica, Georgia, Bahrain, Macedonia, Namibia, Guatemala, Benin, Lesotho, El Salvador, Thailand, Kuwait, Chile, Singapore, Armenia, Colombia, Portugal, Hong Kong, Ivory Coast, Togo, Maldives, Gabon, Ukraine, Panama, Bhutan, Costa Rica, Reunion, Venezuela, Sri Lanka, Scotland, Cape Verde, Kazakhstan, Rwanda, Puerto Rico, Mayotte, Vanuatu, Czechia, Greece, Laos, Turkmenistan, Samoa, Uruguay, Brazil, Romania, Iceland, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Tunisia, Angola, South Sudan, Antigua & Barbuda, Liberia, Burundi, Cambodia, Slovenia, North Korea, Cook Islands, Finland, Tonga, Congo, Serbia, Albania, Northern Ireland, Tokelau, Belgium, Virgin Islands, Oman, Taiwan, Turkey, Ecuador, Sierra Leone, Lithuania, Denmark, Solomon Islands, United Arab Emirates, Norway, Barbados, Montenegro, Morocco, Turks & Caicos, Philippines, Slovakia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Grenada, Aruba, Cyprus, Central African Republic, France, Croatia, Latvia, Andorra, Svalbard & Jan Mayen, Bulgaria, Uzbekistan, Anguilla, Gibraltar, Honduras, Nauru, Monaco, Antarctica, Timor-Leste, Montserrat Round 2 begins on page 13.
