heywoodu 14,953 Posted November 3, 2017 #523 Share Posted November 3, 2017 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.. https://www.within-temptation.com/ If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderer 1,626 Posted November 3, 2017 #528 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Just now, konig said: Both are from the same time. 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 konig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
