But this North Korean one is pretty great on first listen.
Some of this reminds me of the kitschiest Arabic pop things I've heard. It's like the same weird type of synthesizer sounds and other similarities too.
Also, at the moment I'm feeling more sympathetic to the whole idea of trying to maintain that sense of disorientation as a listener. It can't really be that impossible, can it? If one wanted to.

Wow. This entire George Wassouf concert in Lebanon in 1992:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P49-4O9lu0
Have posted and re-posted parts of it. It is admittedly raw and ridiculous in various ways, but I still love the bulk of it. He and his band are on fire throughout.
(Actually I think the guy in the red shirt who introduces him did a human beat-box routine at the intro. but that appears to have been cut. Not joking.)

2018 is the 25th anniversary of my passionate attachment to Arab music, and George Wassouf was possibly the first Arab singer I really cared about, even if his flaws and limitations have become glaringly obvious over time. So there is an excuse for my half-assed threads and thread revivals on related interest.
― _Rudipherous_, Friday, 9 February 2018 00:11 (six years ago) link
Oh and good audio quality for a change, which might have something to do with this having been posted by someone whose last name happen to be Wassouf.
Does that two-man chorus ever crack a smile?
― _Rudipherous_, Friday, 9 February 2018 00:12 (six years ago) link
I understand you liking his singing, despite your reference to his flaws and limitations. Just read about him still supporting Assad in Syria, which is unfortunate.
― curmudgeon, Friday, 9 February 2018 16:31 (six years ago) link
Assad has the support of the majority of Syrians. I think external attempts at regime change, largely driven by Jews who want to see Syria balkanized is unfortunate.
― _Rudipherous_, Friday, 9 February 2018 16:53 (six years ago) link
I think it's unfortunate that Jews have such a disproportionate influence on US foreign policy.
― _Rudipherous_, Friday, 9 February 2018 16:54 (six years ago) link
The (Zionist dominated) US and its friends have been using terrorist proxy forces for the last several years to try to destroy Syria and you are whining about Assad. Thank god Russia was there to step in, even if for its own self-interested reasons.
― _Rudipherous_, Friday, 9 February 2018 16:59 (six years ago) link
Of course, the anti-Russian propaganda built up shortly after Russia's intervention. And the Jewish dominated western media fell into place, didn't it? Not Jewish dominated? Not Jewish pundits everywhere you look in the media when these issues are discussed?

maybe I've not paid close enough attention but I'm surprised (and obv disappointed) to see you come out with this antisemitic rubbish rudi
― ogmor, Friday, 9 February 2018 17:59 (six years ago) link
Your anti-Semitism is disgusting, plus you don't have the facts right on Syria and who supports Assad and who doesn't

well that certainly took a turn

sadly, the takeaway will likely be "it's unfortunate that Jews have such a disproportionate influence on ILX moderation."

Correct call by mods, although he was one of the only folks here into salsa and bomba & other Afro-Latino genres, plus middle-eastern vocalists
