When I last looked through my YouTube favorites, I thought: this video Hang Drum TheArtOfFusion - Rafael Sotomayor- Inner Voice is for me a fusion of ancient and modern music: the hang drum was invented just a few years ago, but you can just imagine one of our ancestors stumbling about a hollow tree trunk, drumming and having fun with creating different sounds... |

I usually associate all kinds of percussion with paleo-music. Hitting woods, stones or bones on a rhythmical manner was the way our ancestors made their music. Nowadays we can find many groups who experiment with percussions and synthesizers making amazing melodies which I think could be considered as a good revision of what our ancestors listened. Here is an example to what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obsgA_2JxTg&feature=related |

I have no idea why but I consider heavy metal to be paleo, probably because i associate it with tribal warriors making deep growls to intimidate their enemies. hahaha atleast thats my mental image when I am "singing" along... (I'm a girl by the way so its a very interesting, and funny scene) I <3 heavy metal hahaha |

I love Africa, so I often (not always) love its music. What's very raw and energetic for me is the music of Fela Kuti (who actually was influenced very much by afro-american musicians). Really frees the animal in me (you should see me playing the drums on this ;) ) Example here |

Great question, I look forward to checking out the musicians in the responses. Would add Mickey Hart's Planet Drum and related releases. Percussion, world and folk music also came to mind for me first. I'm not sure why, but serious music like classical and jazz hit me at a very basic human level. I can't articulate why I consider that related to paleo, except maybe that we don't activate the parasympathetic nervous system often enough in modern life. Popular music seems so commercial in comparison. |

BOB DYLAN. I immediately started listening to him daily as soon as I got serious about Paleo, especially when I'm cooking. From the looks of the other answers I'm really dancing to the beat of my own you know what! |

I like this question. A couple of songs that popped into my head are either high energy, reflecting an outsider sensibility or both. It is evident that those who are into this are standing athwart the vast majority of conventional wisdom about health. There are alternate authorities of information and (per the diet) lots of energy. This outsiderness / other sort of influences the music I'd associate, top of mind, with the following tracks: Bon Iver - Skinny Love (Das Kapital Rerub) Kid Cudi (feat. MGMT & Ratatat) Pursuit of Happiness (Steve Aoki Remix) |

This track.. listen in its entirety: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYbCXyAMEAY Wonderful African vibe, combined with the precision afforded by modern technology, progressive, energetic groove, sonically colorful, and a few minutes in it really emotionally soars! What's not paleo about it? |

Balinese Kecak dance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAUoa9pmokA One of my 2-year-olds makes me play this literally 10 times a night. I think I breathe to the rhythm at this point. |

Funny, I associate paleo more with post-modern America - youthful energy, a little rock, a bit funky, maybe even health-conscious hipster type? Which musically translates to Free Energy's Bang Pop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCljybuyPj8 And Weezer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C3zgYW_FAM Plus CocoRosie's haunting "Noah's Ark" |

There is a musician who calls himself Paleo... haven't listened to it but he could develop an instant following by Paleo dieters :) Cara |

This song is the one I most associate with paleo. Mostly because they have another song called "Future Primitive" and they are both so ENERGETIC! |

Great thread. I normally would have said American Indian flute and drum. But I have been reading The Bushman Way of Tracking God by Bradford Keeney, so I would have to go with the African suggestions. Fela Kuti sure sounds and looks like what Keeney describes as the dances of our Bushman ancestors. |

Raucous acoustic folk punk? Ala early Against Me! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-tzCyjmmOM&feature=related That style of music encourages crowd participation and taps into an ancient urge to find melody: the wooooahhhhhhshsss allow everyone to let go and sing. There were no stages, bodyguards, barricades or rock idols in the paleolithic era.... Many different genres have bands that perform in a communal fashion like Against Me! but they're MY favorite. They don't want beer to be the life of the party...beer has gluten in it. :P |

What I need, is a well cooked steak, cause I'm feelin' like a paleo... and I need to be redeemed to the eggs I sinned against, cause they're all I ever knew of love... *an edit to a sultry song I'm listening to :-) |

I realize this is an old thread buuutt.... '60s garage! Most of '60s garage culture (which consists of like 200 people worldwide) centers around caveman/primitive/stone-age imagery. This song is PERFECT for paleo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE6pYY45w34 primitiiive... that's how I live (; This one, slightly sexist, but fitting!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qA04Y3iywQ |
