The Overlooked Tracks Podcast

Let’s Do An Experiment Together - Episode #39

What’s up everyone!  Really hope you enjoyed the Moment we had on Episode #38.  Again, we’re heading to the end of the year and the podcast desires to keep it upbeat as much as possible with great music for your musical pleasure.  This time, we’re going to experiment on some experimental music from six artists that will make you seize the moment and take interest on experimental music.  Whether it’s meditation, spinning the mind with new ideas, or actually want to try out something new, these 6 tracks can get you going on the right path. 

An Overlooked Tracks Moment: Put in High Gear - Episode #38

We’re about to go in the opposite direction from the last episode of steady, rhythmic and bluesy to the HYPE, SERIOUSLY INTENSE and about to go HEAD-BANGER OFF SOME EDM or Electronic Dance Music and a sample or two of Techno (which is an element of EDM nowadays).  My name is Kenny Chiba and this is an Overlooked Tracks Moment.  Haven’t done one of these episodes in a while because it is SO MUCH MUSIC to cover all around the world, but it’s definitely needed to touch on some serious EDM.

Enjoying the End of Summer with the Blues - Episode #37

We're gonna tell you right now, this collection of music for this 37th episode of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast is a most difficult episode, and I am know for sure there are some of the greats in Blues Music that will be left out of this list of blues music for the podcast.
After juggling for weeks on what to do with the selection, it was decided the best way to display this fine music genre is to give you a dab of what Blues Music is today – the foundation of great sound and give you again a portion on what Blues Music is heading.  If these picks are indication of the future of Blues Music, the music genre is in good hands. 
Once again, this selection is not a list of the greatest of all time, which is SO impossible to do and such a waste of time, but we’re just going to display a small sample of sound we believe you should get some interest in and see where the rabbit hole can take you.

The Power of the Woman Music Artist - Episode #36 - Part 2

Welcome again to the Overlooked Tracks podcast and welcome to a form of sharing music for all to experience something special.  We’re not trying to be the flashy music podcast many may “temporary” enjoy, our goal is to simply provide an experience you can use for the long term, to cherish quality music for years to come.

The Power of the Woman Music Artist - Episode #35 - Part 1

The Overlooked Tracks podcast is back home after exploring the great lands of Central Asia and the Middle East discovering such awesome music for you to listen, share and enjoy.  Now along with that experience of understanding the greatness of that part of the globe, let us have focus on the outstanding vibes, melody, lyrics, and everything else of what women in music brings to the world.  Making a strong case from our past focus of women music artists in episode #12, this episode and the next will take you on a journey of music the better half of the human race, the intelligent, the more talented and of course the more beauty these and many more music artists bring to the airwaves and the internet.  In other words, women in this art form called music simply brings grace we all need in our lives. 

The Home Stretch - Music from the Eastern Asia and the Middle East - Episode #34

The magical music bus is on its last trip to the areas of the Middle East and Central Asia and what was found was gold and it was an inspiring trip because of the experience gained from the three episodes broadcasted throughout the globe dedicated to the music being displayed by these artists.  Also learned so much history on the importance of music in this part of the world and what type of importance it has this current time. 
Though it took some digging into the music crates in order to find the music tracks, but again like I stated in the last episode, I am glad I did and that makes it easy for you to simply listen and adore. 

Still Riding the Magical Music Bus - Episode #33

I must tell you that this has been a rough ride in the magical music bus through Central Asia and the Middle East this time around. From the constant digging in the music crates of record shops (both online and the physical stores), that was an adventure in itself.  I am telling you ladies and gentlemen, when I tell you there are tons of music in the world, THERE ARE LITERALLY tons of music to discover.  From this experience, I, Kenny Chiba am certainly happy to dig and dig and dig some more and communicate with some great musicians desiring to share their craft with the world.  Hence, the reason of the Overlooked Tracks podcast – To display and help enhance your music library with music you’ve simply been overlooking. 

The Magical Music Bus Rides Again - Episode #32

Hello everyone and welcome to the 32nd episode of the Overlooked Tracks podcast and we are back on the magical music bus focusing on areas like central And southeast Asia and the Middle East and I would honestly say this trip has been quite bumpy.  Reason is because though there is so much music in this part of the world, it was hard to buy the music in order to share the music being found.  So I had to change it up a little to play music that was made or inspired from the music in Other parts of Asia and the Middle East. 

Deep Diving of Thought with Folk Music - Episode #31

Folk Music, like passing family traditions from generation to generation is genuine, pure, brings tranquility to the heart and soul and brings meaning to the human spirit.  Songs being handed down among people of community to share and of course to enjoy.  The world seems as though it is in chaos, but all in all it is each and every one of us possesses the power to change ourselves in order to change the things around us.

The Dynamic Treasures of Africa - Chapter One

The Overlooked Tracks podcast is back on the road and this time we are exploring the land where the beat, rhythm and style of music began, The continent of Africa.  I need to get this out of the way now and apologize for the long absence because there were so many tracks to choose resulting in one the hardest podcast episode we’ve done at this point.  It was overwhelming on choosing songs for the podcast because there’s tons of music that’s connected with each country in Africa and it kicked my ass a bit on choosing them.
