This is Tuluki Music

Started by Yam, February 11, 2008, 10:34:17 PM


I hear old people here in Louisiana listen to music like that all the time.... Maybe they were Tulukis in another life....  :P

need more TRIANGLE plz.
"When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drums they beat;
The people scattered gold-dust before my horse's feet;
But now I am a great king, the people hound my track
With poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back."

It's called zydeco, and it's huge around here.

Thats not... Well, I don't want to get verbally abused on the board but, I figured tuluki music was a bit... not that.  ;)

Who wants to take me to the fais do-do? I will put on my dancing shoes and meet you out front.

Technically that's cajun music, not zydeco. Similar roots and influences though, the two styles are kissin' cousins.

Tuluki music most certainly has much in common with American traditional music like cajun, Appalachian, Scotch-Irish, etc. Fierce rhythms, tribal twang, virtuosity, lyrics about all the bad stuff in life * ...songs of pain and darkness that still make you want to get up and dance. That's Zalanthan life at its finest.

* I don't know what the lyrics in the video posted are, but I'd bet money on lost love, dead love, jail time, murder, or a wrecked family.

I always envisioned it more like this:

It matters not how strait the gate,

I am the captain of my soul.

Actually, I'm not sure if that's Tuluki music, but I did want to plug Beirut which, to me, has a very Armageddon feel. Maybe it's more like Muark music, since he's very influenced by gypsy/balkan music.
ack to retirement for the school year.


For gypsy music...

Gogol Bordello ftw

Now for some Allanaki music.

Ignore the modern stuff, the rap, and pretty much anything Gentleman does. But I think Sandal's turkish parts and some of the music, especially the drumplay and flute, fit really well. Always imagined southern music to be close to turkish / oriental tradition.

p.s. Tuluk sucks. Play bards in Allanak! Come on someone! Tuluk has been done to death, people should develop nakki music before the world ends.

I'd be curious to hear what Sanvean envisions as Allanaki music, if she has time to chime in  :-*

OMG, just found this and absolutely have to add. Just the first 30 seconds though. The first half minute of this song is perfect for Allanaki music, imho. The rest is too pop-songish.

This reminds me of tuluk, and what I think a skilled bardic group could get away with playing.

I really wish Tuluki music was more like this.

(poorly-placed mic warning, the drums may drown it all out)

That was awesome, Jstorrie (drown-out drums or no).

In fact that's the closest to what I've always imagined Zalanthan music to sound like.

All I've got to say is... LOL! Awesome.
"Don't take life too seriously, nobody ever makes it out alive anyway."

I want.

To make a bard....

And get some shiney ass red pants....

And make "Girly man" popular. :D

I'll be the Michael Jackson on Zalanthas.

I can see the rumor board now.

At the disappearance of each child, an EE-He was heard, but no traces of the children remained.

I'll get a dramatic, out-of-place description change after a year or two also.... This is gonna rock.

Can you open a neverland ranch too?

I am tired of jarring music while playing. In the interest of that, I am combing Last FM online radio, tagging various songs "Zalanthan" so that one can go there, type it in for a tag, and have good music to listen to while playing.

Except me. I remember every death. And I am coming for you bastards.

For some reason, when I think about Zalanthan music, I always hear Led Zeppelin. Particularly the Battle of Evermore.

That and pretty much all of Tools album 'Lateralus'

I listen to indie and Daft Punk while I Arm.

Beirut has always felt VERY very Zalanthan to me.

and
http://youtube.com/watch?v=uJ_K6qdgp0I (not that we have any canals, or seas.. of water)

It'd make more sense for Beirut to be Muarki music, wouldn't it? Given that they're just gypsy'ing up pop songs?

I stand firmly behind Animal Collective as my Tulukis of choice. Not budgin'.

It's good stuff, hear it out.

Perhaps.

Secret Chiefs are much too virtuoso for the Zalanthi market I'm afraid - much less Tuluk! Gosh! You'll have to come up with something better than that. ;)

Bollywood is generally the sort of stuff I'd imagine coming out of Tuluk. You know what they're like. One minute hug tree, 'nother minute chop it down.

I would have posted Tunak Tunak. But somebodies already posted it up.
SO instead you get this:

Never mind! This one instead:

It's totally themely.

Here's a band based out of Afghanistan that I found, oh, not too long ago. It's pretty suave.

Ever since hearing this, I can't stop thinking of it every time someone mentions Tuluk.

Now we just need someone to invent the hurdy-gurdy.
