thought this was some kind of quaint samba but learned it's morna with lyrics in Cape Verdean Creole.

like her compositional style, cliche pop/folk rhythms with nice rhyming and surprises, pretty musical.
hip-hop cypher with a live band.
4:20 Megaloh: merging word sounds into each other
11:56 Bengio: combining percussive hits with switching words
lyrical bullets like a German Eminem, nice contrast and musicality in the verse
G.R. Mocidade Independente De Padre Miguel: Repique Reza Forte
plucky old-time guitar solo on a groovy samba
Pharoah Sanders: The Creator Has A Master Plan
impressive vocal control with this rapid falsetto breaking; nice n' crazy free jazz before and after
ศักดิ์สิทธิ์ เวชสุภาพร [Tor Saksit]: ปรากฏการณ์ [Phenomenon]
catchy Thai melody I stumbled upon in 2023 but never got around to learning; some cliche jazzy chords with nice surprises
Comedian Harmonists: Mein Kleiner Grüner Kaktus
more silly German music suggestions in response to my question, this one about "my little green cactus".
also, some vulgar Mozart in Good night, You are quite an ox and one I won't translate.
Mussorgsky/Ravel: The Great Gate Of Kiev
bone-chillingly majestic as it is, but it probably feels stronger to listen to the 11 parts before. from Pictures at an exhibition
music inspired by, and directly sampling, the magnificent sounds of the Mandinka people, recorded during a recent trip to Gambia.
strange to shift from finger picking with contemporary pop chords to a kind of triplet blues. inspiring album concept.
Ingo Insterburg: Ich liebte ein Mädchen
style seems quite specific or idiomatic to German or Germany, curious to know other examples that fit this description
Paulo César Pinheiro, Mauro Duarte: Nunca Mais
very brazillian to turn the same repeated phrase into flowy magic; melody works nicely as instrumental too
Abu Obaida Hassan & His Tambour: The Shaigiya Sound of Sudan (2018)
[This Sudanese pioneer is known for having electrified the tambur (lyre), creating a hypnotic, trance-like sound in the ’70s and ’80s. Notice the call-and-response pattern in the chorus.]
so many rhythmic permutations from a single sound sample
middle eastern jazz with microtonal piano, occasionally some Mehldau-style punching and counterpoint
nicely obnoxious swingy free jazz
freestyling a lesson in rhythmic subdivisions from quarter note to 16ths and triplets
Harry Mack: How To Improve Free Association
[Practice free association with your notes app by making a list starting with any word and following it with whatever comes to mind. Try to be non-judgemental. More important that it makes sense to you than to other people. When you're comfortable to try with a beat, you can just fill space with "uhh" or other rhythmic sounds and simply land on your next word to practice changing in time.]
Music training really trains you to break things down into manageable parts. Teaching well exposes the atomic elements of a practice so that you can find the right entry point for your level of skill or experience.
Harry Mack: How To Get Better At Freestyle Rapping - Setup, Punchline
[Practice is strategically targetting your weaknesses to help them improve over time.]
[Wanting to sound great means willing to sound bad so that you can practice.]
[Deciding what object in the room you'll freestyle about and what to call it takes up mental RAM that could be spared if you use a simple word generator to practice.]
