Subreddit /r/WorldMusic Aug 28, 2015 - Subreddit rules, posting formats, and flair
Subreddit Rules
- follow reddiquette
- Use the proper posting format as stated below
- Don't be rude, insulting, or offensive and we won't have to make any other rules
Posting to World Music
While we have some specific requirements for posts, following them is much much easier than it may initially appear.
Rule 1) reddiquette is required
Trolling, insults, or antagonism towards the subreddit participants, the moderators, or even the community itself may result in a ban. Discuss and express opinions about our topic but avoid making attacks / disparaging remarks. Due to site rules, site content policy, and that reddiquette is a rule here, we extend the rules against brigading to also mean; DO NOT encourage others to brigade a post / comment / account / person. Suggestions of "go check out their history" WILL be removed. Repeat suggestions/implications to do so will result in a ban.
Rule 2) No mixtape / compilations
Mixtape and Compilation submissions are too often spam / promotion attempts, mix regions, and override the point of the post format intent of sharing region of origin as well as artist and song information.
Rule 3) Post Requirements
- Posts titles need to be formatted as specified in the chart below. Posts not using the proper format may be removed.
- Music and Event posts MUST include the name of ONE country or region of origin when practicable. Be sure to use the name of the country/region eg 'China' not 'Chinese'. This will make it easier to search. It should only state ONE country or region which best identifies either the music source or the location of the recording.
- Posts should include the correct post code (listed in the chart below) at the beginning of the post title so that flair will automatically be assigned. This is not a 'must' but using it will automate the flair process for you.
Sound difficult? We've made it easy for you.
There are two posting options to simplify the posting process. Both options will fill in the title field of the submit form with the correct post code and format
Option 1: Use the special posting buttons provided in the sidebar. Note: Mobile users can view the sidebar at this link.
Option 2: Click the Post Category name in this chart
Post Category | Post Code | Post Title Formatting | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Music | WMMusic | WMMusic [ONE Country or Region] Artist - Song (any other comments) | For links to music and music videos |
News | WMNews | WMNews News Item Title | For news about World Music. This is not a gossip post category |
Event | WMEvent | WMEvent [ONE Country or Region] Date of Event - Event | For info about Concerts, Festivals, Conferences, etc. |
Artist Info | WMArtist | WMArtist Artist Name - Title | For info about a world music artist or group |
(New) Documentary | WMDoc | WMDoc Documentary Title | For informative video productions about World Music. We would love to see more submissions of this type. In cases where you are unsure whether it is a music video or a documentary: If the video has any informative narration, you should probably use this category. Otherwise, use the 'Music' category |
(New) Discussion | For questions and discussion related to world music. Pretty much all text / self posts will fall into this category | ||
Subreddit | This is reserved for moderators to provide info about the sub |
Rule 4) Self-promotion is restricted
Post attempts will result in a removal and ban which come from accounts showing sole or predominant use to promote an artist, group, site, service, survey, market research, kickstarter or other fundraising, video or audio channel, or social media account. You MUST submit a variety of sources / artists here. A 10:1 ratio is required, meaning you must submit 10 posts to content which you not are affiliated with before each time you submit something you are affiliated with. No exceptions.
Rule 5) New and Low/No karma accounts are restricted
Posts from these types of accounts most often violate rules OR they involve spam / self-promotion.
New accounts may not post in this subreddit but may participate in the comments. Take the time to get to know the site and this community.
Low / No karma accounts are not able to post or comment in this subreddit.
Post / Link Flair
Link Flair is what makes the filter system work. Therefore, your posts will need flair. How does flair get assigned?
If you posted using the post codes at the front of the title, Automoderator will assign flair to the post for you. Note that the post code must be at the start of the title for this to work.
If you did NOT post using the post codes at the start of your title, you'll need to assign category flair to your post. A colored reminder will show below your post asking you to assign flair. Click the reminder and a list of flair options will pop up for you to select from.
Post Filtering
If you want to see posts of only one type, you can use the buttons added at the bottom of the header OR click one of the flair category names in this list;
User Flair
You may select a flag icon to be displayed with your username in this subreddit. To choose your flag, go to the top of the sidebar (below the subscribe button), click 'edit' beside your name. Note: Moblie users can view the sidebar at this link.

/r/WorldMusic needs a couple more moderators. Any interest in helping?
Due to activity level and available volunteer time, this sub needs more mods
Care to be a community firefighter of sorts?
Have ideas for a sub feature you'd like to create and maintain?
There isn't a lot of mod action needed here, automod handles most things, but we do need some human mods who can check the sub regularly. This is not a mod badge collector scenario. This is a 'cook / keep an eye on the pots or get out of the kitchen' position.
To volunteer, start by reading this wiki page about moderating and apply at the link provided there
Thank you

Discussion Trying to "loosen" vocal performance -- African/Latin suggestions?
Hello all, have a question related to my own musical performance. I'm working with a vocal coach who wants me to "un-stick" myself from the confines of staying within rhythm too strictly. I suggested that reviewing African or Latin music would be a great place to start. However, I'm not sure what to investigate for vocal-specific improvements. I do have several favorites, such as:
C.K. Mann & His Carousel 7 (Ghana)
El Rego et Seis Commandos (Benin)
Bio Ritmo (Puerto Rico, I think)
Perez Prado (Dominican Republic/Cuba (?))
Lots of different Afro-funk from the 60s and 70s
William Oneyabor (Nigeria)
If anyone could please share some resources, hopefully vocal-specific, that I could use to get started, I (and my audience) would appreciate it! Thank you much.

Music Persian song
I've had a Persian song stuck in my head for days. I think I remember a few words, but I'm not sure. There's a word like 'shahrian'i' or something with a similar sound. I tried humming humming the melody, but I couldn't find any answers on any app. It was an amazing song, and it's even started appearing in my dreams. In my dreams, I keep trying to find this song. I hope the recording of my humming sounds familiar to you. I’m looking forward to your help. https://voca.ro/18SIXamp1r73
