Different Music

Ok well I haven't written to this in a while but want to encourage people to start using it to discuss Ecstatic Dance in Boise so today I said I'd post the play list. Well Chris was in Portland today and asked me to the music. It was my first time doing that and was difficult to find music that fit the guidelines I was given... so I ignored them (sorry Chris). I felt it was a fun time with different music genres from electronic jazz to blue grass to swing. I like high energy music and I think that showed through with maybe a few too many fast paced songs together, but in the end, I enjoyed it and think others should try organizing the music from time to time. It gives a very different prospective of the dance. Instead of focusing on my dancing and movements, I was watching to see how everyone else moved to the music I selected. Anyhow, here's the play list from today:

1. Stephen Smith with Pete Seeger & DJ Spooky - The Bell
2. Mr. Scruff - Cheeky
3. Santana - Jingo
4. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Jumpin' Jack
5. Brian Setser Orchestra - Sing Sing Sing with the Swing
6. Sevara Nazarkhan - Yor-Yor (Song to the Bride)
7. Chico Cesar & los Fabulous Trobadors - Il faut payer (devo e nao nego)
8. Daz Dolczech and the Destroyers - The Three Bulgars
9. Mr. Scruff - Honeydew
10. Béla Fleck - Polka On The Banjo
11. Flogging Molly - Devil's Dance Floor (these guys are coming to Boise soon)
12 Juno Reactor with Gocoo - Teahouse
13. Rob D - Clubbed To Death (Kurayamino mix)
14. Santana - Soul Sacrifice
15. Buena Vista Social Club - El Cuarto De Tula

I won't be there next Sunday but will try to get CDs there for those who wanted copies of the music. I'm glad you guys like it and look forward to hearing what each of you come up with in the future.
