Hey!

  Well, I'm not sure how many people here know about this. But this might be interested to some here.... maybe someone like Martin/mjosef
 
   I couldn't sleep two nights before and around 3AM I was still surfing the channels on TV. Than I was on NG channel and to my surprise NG is showing a collection of World Music late at night on their channel. Cool! Well, I watch it for about half an hour than I was ready for bed.

  Anyway, I checked out their site and its also filled with many artists and infos. So, I will pass it on here. Even if you are not in to World Music it is still worth checking, watching and see other music around the world.

   Also, if you are a night owl than you might want to check out the World Music show late at night starting at 3AM  or set your recorder and watch it later.

   Explore and enjoy guys.

Take care,
Buddy

I own a lot of the "National Geographic" series of CDs with each of them concentrating on a particular country like ireland, spain, brazil etc. Every single one of them is beautiful.  Listen to them when you get a chance.

Buddy, was that coffee keeping you up late...
I have to check it out, I rarely watch TV that late...I did see a program on Malian music a couple weeks ago, but don't remember what channel it was...think it was on the Voom Equator channel, there was no commercials so I am sure it was not NG.
Thanks for the tip.

Buddy, was that coffee keeping you up late...

Hey!

    That could be the cause but I don't remember how many cups I had that day.

     Anyway, I rarely stay past 2AM.. but I do want to watch it. I might have to set my DVD recorder so I could watch it later.

    Oh! BTW... you are welcome to stop by to have to hang out and have a nice cup(s) of coffee if you like... and of course listening to music.

Take care,
Buddy

Gotta say I was pretty disappointed in the quality of the sound from a show I watched 4am this morning. It wasn't even in stereo and I have my receiver set on Dolby Digital. Guess I'm spoiled with my 6.1 system but monaural music just don't cut it with me and there's nothing I can do with it using my processor. Hopefully not all the shows are like this, I will be giving it a few more listens as I love music that's worldly different.

Hey!

  Hmmm... I didn't investigated this since it was late and I was watching it at very low level on my 20" tube telly. 

  Now I wonder if it is in stereo. I have Time Warner Cable NYC. Well, let's see.

Take care,

It's not all the shows Buddy, in fact it varies from song to song according to the recording. I'm glad I gave these shows more of a listen tonite instead of just being turneed off from a few poorly recorded videos. I listened to a good 3 hours tonight and the audio quality varies greatly but there are some truely great gems to be had.

Cheers,

Hey Buddy, I've spent the last few nights listening to NG's World Music and I need to thank you for mentioning this channel. The diversity of the music provided is exceptional, it's opened the door to more than just a few artists that I never would have been exposed to otherwise. And the best part,,, no rap! Punk out,,,

Hey!

    Glade that you enjoy it Robin.

    Sadly, I usually don't stay up late enough to see the show.  And still never got around to record it. 

   Definitely some interesting stuffs on there, not just sound but interesting stuffs to watch too.

Take care,
Buddy
