Chutney music
Sat, 3 Apr, 10
Chutney is regarded as an accompaniment to something bigger. Something never consumed by itself. Chutney music (link to wikipedia summery that tells it better than I could) on the other hand, is a stand alone dish by itself. Whether you’ll like it is another matter. The video in this post is a sample on a tooth pick plucked from the youtube Chutney music buffet. Tell me what you think. Neither I nor the Voices in My Head have decided yet.
Irrespective of musical tastes and opinions I think its a wonderful outcome of that great human ability to make a culture at a personal level. Its easy to rhapsodise on an on. But this is a blog written under time pressure. Best to sit back and soak in the tunes. ya marn.

Interesting genre… Reminds me a lot of Caribbean music (with the trumpets and all) mixed with Indian rap!
I know this girl from Guyana who listens to it all the time. It’s like an East Indian mix of Soca.
The Caribbean is multi-ethnic and has people of Indian decent as well as African decent.
Listening to Chutney and mowing down on a good chicken rotti is awesome!
thanks for adding a new taste to my musical diet!
nice!
Chutney is good, Soca is better, imo

Chavie: I think you summed up the sound quite efficiently
Hilal: hmm never heard of Soca before (overlooked the link on Wikipedia). Thank you for the recommendation
arkitektonic & aufidius: you are welcome
T: I was just going to sniff around for examples of Soca – you did the work for me. Thank you
