i can't figure out this damn song

so i've heard this song a couple times now. i think it was the background on a youtube video of some montage of something (i have no clue what) and i've heard it three separate times in ecuador in cafes and stuff.

this is probably the worst description known to man, but it sounds almost like a chanting native american cadence with no english words distinguishable, and then has some sort of an wind instrument playing a hook pretty steadily throughout the song. slower tempo.

if you know what i'm talking about you'll probably get it instantly, if you don't know this is probably the most worthless song description of all time.

nope and nope. much more "world music" feel. the main chorus sounds like "hen-ya hen-yai hen-ya HEY-eye" over and over, very native american-ish

and that hook may not actually be reeds or anything, it sounds halfway between a whistle and a xylophone, four notes repeating in a loop

rrrrrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhh

That's the whole problem with Native American music. Not really translates to main stream.

African American music morphed from Boogie-Woogie and R & B to Jazz, Swing & Rock & Roll. Even during the Big Band era, there was a hit with Hawaiian War Chant. Egnima music was taken from chanting by Monks.

Native American's may not have scored with their music, but that's OK. They got back at the whities with Bingo and gambling. LOL

    • So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.
    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
