Lnrdcroy - I Met You on BC Ferries

Kuwaiti Samri is Gulf folk music with a gentle 2/4 sway and a soft frame-drum pulse. In many gatherings you hear interlocking handclaps and chant-like refrains that rise and settle with a warm communal feel. This piece offers a modern instrumental take that features violin as a surrogate for the genre’s lead vocals. The usual call and response is set aside so the core sway remains, carried by a singing melodic line while a quiet frame drum keeps time. The result is intimate and cyclical, with phrases that lean into the beat, float above it, and return to the theme for a calm, hypnotic flow. It gives first-time listeners a clear window into Samri’s rhythmic heart without the crowd energy that typically surrounds it.

[CREATIVE NOTE]
This arrangement adopts the violin as the principal melodic voice throughout, drawing on the Kuwaiti ṣawt tradition to stand in for Samri’s vocal line. Violin is not standard in classic Samri settings. Its use here is an intentional compositional choice that preserves the style’s gentle sway and measured cadence while presenting the melody instrumentally for clarity and learning.

Yoichi K. Rengiil was a father figure in my life. Over the years, he taught me about our Palauan history and the traditional music of our culture. He was well-respected and loved by many, and he accomplished a great deal during his life. He will surely be missed. May he rest in heavenly peace. 
More than forty to fifty years have passed since some of these songs were recorded, including those sung and composed by Yoichi K. Rengiil. These are the songs he shared with me, and I hope you will come to enjoy them as much as I have.

Rising Spanish talent Tete De La Course makes a massive statement with his new single on Poetry In Motion titled 'Your Love Keeps Me Hangin' On', dropping a vocal house cut with an infectious piano melody that is primed to be a timeless dancefloor anthem.

The track is the first original piece to be released on Poetry In Motion, the label Tete De La Course co-runs with four others. It also sees the artist dig back to his roots, focusing on the essence of classic house.  As the label describes, this track "will make you dance and sweat waving your hands in the air as if you were in the Loft in NYC, swimming through the balloons with a huge smile on your face." Sounds about right! 

'Your Love Keeps Me Hangin' On' is out soon.
