For me, its just being more intentional. I never use auto-generated playlists and stuff, i always find my music through different means, whether its rolling into a small music artist in the small channel slot in youtube recommended or randomely trying out an artist the people who post music in my discord servers recommend, to even just clicking in an album art that looks interesting in bandcamp. The internet has given me a lot of tools I'd not otherwise have access to, its just breaking out of the easy channels that make the experience better for me.
great video! as a funk lover since the early 70s, i have too many favorites to mention, especially from the classic years of the 70s. a few somewhat less pop-y ones that i love: down east mississippi (ohio players) get down (war) betcha got a chick on the side (pointer sisters) fencewalk (mandrill) do it fluid (blackbyrds) just kissed my baby (meters) anti-love song (betty davis) NT (kool and the gang) power (earth, wind and fire) bustin loose (chuck brown and the soul searchers) post-70s: dmsr (prince) who is he and what is he to you (meshell ndegeocello) whatta man (en vogue with salt and peppa) - maybe a bit pop-y :-)

But when there is any black celebrations carnivals or protests for the culture, all others join in. But it is not noticed the main heritage of our people are not with us, No matter what country we are resident in
FOBBY - that story is very similar to what my sister did regarding our family’s heritage language when she went to school and was embarrassed when somebody confronted her about speaking fluent Finnish. She immediately stopped speaking it at home and my dad was so hurt that he never taught any of the rest of us. Even though I begged him. Sigh. I’m so glad you returned to learning this art form. I never heard of it before. Very cool.
I love the passion and genuine curiosity of the interviewer to really learn and document this form of art (and history) well. Much appreciated, and a big thanks from the Hmong community!
Having a discusion of trap without mentioning Three Six Mafia is just criminal,. They are the ones that created the sound of trap. Juicy J is the architect.
I was taught it was standard practice in all eras of classical musical to add something (ornaments - play with the rhythms within gestures - change dynamics - lead the listener into the cadences differently than the first time- etc). I think this is "improvisation" in classical. I understand that jazz and blues and rock musicians took improvisation to a new level it terms of pushing the boundaries, but I think Beethoven and all his friends would have loved it. thank you for adding such thoughtful and intelligent conversation to the RU-vid universe.
Western Hmong are utterly clueless about their history, heritage, culture, and customs. Reading all of the supposedly Hmong commenters hearsay and opinions just further validates this point. Most if not all are basically as ill-informed as their non-Hmong neighbors. Just go with the "I am Hmong-American or American Hmong" ... blah blah blah rhetoric :) This way at least your credibility or lack of is undeniable. Roj nthsa taw nqaij yog Hmoob uas yog Niam thiab Txiv muab tiam sis siab ntsws nplaig ncauj zeem muag yog Mab Sua lawm xwb. Tiffany did a great job explaining what kwv txhiaj/luj txaj is. Paj Lug being translated as "flower words or flowery language" is a literal English translation and is in fact incorrect. Paj Lug actually means metaphoric phrases/riddles or analogies. Contextually in English it is a compound word combining the words paj=flower and lug=word/language in the Green dialect for word/language. The White dialect is "lus". Hmong/Mong say or prefer to say 'paj lug' because it is more appealing and poetic to hear. It has nothing to do with flowers. Just because the word paj=flower does not mean or infer floral language or words whatsoever.
Although blues (as it is now known) can be seen as a musical style based on both European harmonic structure and the African call-and-response tradition that transformed into an interplay of voice and guitar, the blues form itself bears no resemblance to the melodic styles of the West African griots. Additionally, there are theories that the four-beats-per-measure structure of the blues might have its origins in the Native American tradition of pow wow drumming.
Reminds me to remind myself that I love music. It's easy to leave music behind in favor of spoken word listening ... podcasts, audiobooks... in this golden age of streaming. I have to not do that. Music is too important, too affecting. Thanks for this vid which I'm watching here in 2024.
Just a correction, these r corridos or corridos tumbados not “Sierreño”, sometimes the corridos now will take from other genres or have influence but luv da vid 😁
