A musical journey

Category: Uncategorized

Today is a bit of a departure, for me, but I feel this will be well-liked. Its more than just sharing one video, but gathering several together, as well as my views. It is in essence, a bit of a musical journey.

First, was this video:

Which I can almost guarantee will leave you with a smile on your face.

So, I began exploring. I wanted to know just who the hell was this Matt Harding. And so, of course, up came the wikipedia article: Matt Harding.

And from there, I began to check out the other stuff. For example, Where the Hell is Afanukwa video is a touching reminder of how languages and cultures are disappearing faster than we can record them.

There are several other ways you could go, and by no means will it be similar to what I did.

For one, I checked out the Sweet Lullaby music video, which was nominated for several awards, is quite iconic and striking.

As well, here is the direct imeem link to the music of the Matt video above, Praan.

Praan is based off of the lyrics by Rabindranath Tagore, in his seminal bengali work, Gitanjali, one of the first non-Europeans to win the Nobel Prize.

Not only is it an interesting musical experience, its a bit of a history/culture education, as well as a massively entertaining video. Enjoy!
