Nervous moments around former TOISC Dutch participant Within Temptation, since a few hours their website has gone all black with a message that the lead singer will have an official statement (about what?!) soon..

Coincident is that I picked both songs  But they quite differ in genre. "Nature" is more psychedelic and 1960s while "Handsome Boy" is much more funky, right in the middle of 1970s and Afrofunk/Afrobeat era which was quite developed and popular in west and central Africa. Ethiopia developed very specific genre on they own, so-called ethio-jazz later. Zambia for instance went much more in "rock" genre (Zambian rock from 1970s). I both presented during TISC Song festivals. 

And I actually like music from 1960s and 1970s very, very, very much. Also 1980s, especially early 1980s when post-punk peaked. So, no wonder I usually vote for or pick songs from those eras

Thanks for the explanation,  the music of the 1980s is which i prefer of all the music, i acept that from the 1960, except te Beatles, i know very few songs.

1980s were very very diverse so no wonder it is still the most popular decade  

Speaking of 1960s, Rioplatense music scene from that period was very very good!
