My kids are getting mine. They'll need it. I do make an occasional donation to the WWF.

One could argue that supporting a service that exposes people to broad cultural and musical experiences lends itself to people supporting very things that you suggest are more worthy.  But then I'm middle class and don't have a particularly lofty perspective.
Kinda sorta similar:
This Medina seems neither funky, nor cold…

I've heard this one a few times in the last many years, never was a fan until now with the new hi-fi setup; +2 to 7 for me today...LLRP!!
SUPERB!! I never heard of them before. Thank You RP!  
I was gonna say 'absolutely spectacular' but since there seems to be some sort of cussing going on on this page I will say 'absolutely effing spectacular!!!'
  The rest of the album sounds good btw, they sound good, very cool.

"Tonolec is an Argentine musical duo from the city of Resistencia (in the province of Chaco ) and integrated by the singer and journalist formoseña Charo Bogarín and by the Chaqueño musician Diego Pérez since 2005."

"These young artists decided to devote themselves over the last three years to researching the Toba culture from within, exchanging musical experiences with the original Tobas communities of northern Argentina and working exhaustively on the mixture of Tobas popular songs with electronics. Part of his work was based on the rounds of singing and dancing of the choir of Toba women and men "Chelaalapí" (Band of Thrush), who live in Resistencia, who opened their arms."

I found these on utube:

Lyrics

Ada nawe, ada nawe, ñi imataleqna.Ñi imataleqna, nachoxoden, nachoxoden.

I don't know for sure but i think it might be Nahuatl.

Update:
My error. nampelkafe had it correct. It's probably Qom. I just found this:


"...On a self-described mission to create a sound that honors the deepest musical roots of their native land, Bogarín and Pérez have for the last 15 years fused electronic music with the songs of the Qom and Guaraní indigenous communities of Argentina’s northeast, where the duo grew up."

Pretty sure ekin is registered (anon users can't comment).  But you're right, hit the PSD.

I don't have a clue what they are singing, but I sure do like the song.  Thanks Bill
A rather refreshing song- a break from the usual sound on this streaming network.
thanks for standing for eclectic, with such beatiful music 🤘

LOL!!!  I had the same initial thought...funny how the eyes (and ears sometimes too) can deceive us!  Long Live RP!!

Oh....I like the beginning of the track, it's a 7 at the start then goes to a 3ish for me...so my rating is the middle ground 5.

I might not be rushing out to buy this album (gets 7 from me), but I sure appreciate the diversity - and comments like this.
 
Hear, hear
 
I really like this piece as well. Thanks, RP

Or why not fuck off and read a dictionary especially take note of the definition of the word "eclectic".

You are not the font of all wisdom of what is good music and what is not although no doubt you self-appoint yourself as such. It's likely this trait of you believing your wisdom and yours alone is the right one for this world and it spreads into other areas of your life where you make pronouncements on what is good TV, films, food, sport etc.

Of course, all the while lacking the basic intelligence to understand taste is subjective and one man's meat is another man's poison so step  back from the internet and understand you don't get to dictate what people get to hear based on your tastes.

Maybe you should start a business telling people what colour they should like best.  I'm sure you'll do just great.
Ha, click into the playlist and I thought Tone Loc... really?

Started out as a solid 6, and then refused to end.
Turned into PSD. Dreadful.

I have designated a small but sufficient gift to RP upon my parting as well. Seriously. It's in my will. What better use could it go to?

 
I was going to say "Let's hope Bill outlives you then", but that just doesn't seem right...

(May you all have long, happy lives!) 

Not so plegiarising (sic) as 'I want a new drug' vs 'Ghostbusters' but still many echoes of contemporaries.

Notwithstanding this, I like it.


As long as we're sharing pics of our asses...

Wow! What a seriously fit couple. And, going by this song, seriously accomplished musicians. What language are they singing in, can anyone tell us?

Edit: the ever-informative Lazarus has already posted this info, and much else in the way of background, below. For which thanks :)

Very exotic, mysterious, and very RP. 8 from the intrigued Nottingham jury.


I don't know what to call this song, but it's the OPPOSITE of turrible!

Tonolec - "Plegaría del árbol negro" English subs {#Sunny}

Do the following experiment, which I just did by pure serendipity ...

Play the song by Rebecca Zapen--Colorado ON TOP of Tonolec's--Plegaria del arbol negro ... AMAZING!!!

Tell us what you think!!
yes, yes, yes!!!! more please.......{#Yes}{#Bounce}{#Pray}
THIS is why I continue to listen to RP! Not cookie-cutter tunes spun to seduce the many, but an offering of enrichment for those who are drawn to such as this. Good job, BillG!
I like the Balinese and international influences....

Tonolec is a duo in Argentina, Charo Bogarín and Diego Perez, whose songs are a fusion of electronic and aboriginal music...  Charo Bogarín's grandfather was Chief Bogarín Guarani Guayraré, who was "disappeared" by the military dictatorship in Argentina in 1976...  the ethnic music of Tonolec is not casual...

as they describe it— I think the greatest satisfaction is to keep in touch with the deepest part of Argentina, which is the native men and women that we are lucky to still have inhabiting our territory, because they have a spirit and a world view that is very healing. The greatest satisfaction is this teaching, understanding music as a common good and as an instrument of healing and celebration...

this music is not my bag of beans, and I will leave it unrated, but hats off to Radio Paradise for playing something soooo unique...

Charo Bogarín with Diego Perez—


Kind of reminds me of Javanese Gamelan in parts...very soothing, mesmerizing...Thanks, RP for playing everything you can!

This video has English and Spanish translations and Quom subtitles of the lyrics :-)

Tonolec is from Resistencia city, capital of Chaco province, near the border with Paraguay. This song is a pray in Qom language (Qom is a native ethnic group from Chaco and Formosa provinces). 
Interesting new (to me) tunes like this from unexpected places (northern Argentina?! Really?!) are why I love RP.
Thanks once again, Bill, for guiding my musical education...
Oh - had discovered them on my trip last year in Argentina. Nice to find them here. Another example by RP seems to always know what I like. Keep it up!
I am so happy that you decided to add this! I look forwards to hearing it on RP!
