One of the most exciting way to enjoy travelling could be discover the local music. The importance of music is more and more appreciated as the key to seize on the culture, the customs, or the ethnic roots of people. Nowadays the Net opens its doors to millions of ethnic musics, until now confined and hidden, and we are literally overwhelmed by a wide range of music styles, instruments and cultures. A brazilian kid living in the popular and boisterous old town of Rio de Janeiro takes a moment to turn an upside down pot into a drum and start striking it in a samba rhythm. A westerner in the middle of the Algerian desert knows nothing of the Tuareg’s melodies, but he will “feel” them letting himself go. The pings of the percussion instruments in Bukittinggi, one of the larger cities in West Sumatra, Indonesia, leave the tourists astonished at first sight, but in a while they’re completely involved in the dances. So let’s start travelling and discovering the world to the sound of music!
