i was browsing AP news in the politics section about donald trump's impeachment, and this suggested video popped up in the sidebar.

rek banga, tails from the jungle.

i am unable to locate lyrics online, and i find the vocals on the video itself unintelligible.

this is not my culture. the browser i am using is vivaldi.

i wonder why it was suggested to me.

Do not apologize for your taste in music.  Some people are attuned to noise masquerading as music, others are thrilled by serious music such as the Korsakov masterpiece.

is it a masterpiece?

i dont know enough about music to have an informed opinikn

ive always liked it tho

but i went immediately after to beethovens 7th and then waited fairly impatiently for the second movement

somehow it says more to me than schaherazade even

i dont know why

i love it.  what kind of head would generate this? all i know about beethoven is that he went deaf. but the 5th 6th 7th and 9th are zpectacular. and the 3rd is okay

what went through his head?
