Our Story
Outernational is a relatively new term in music and musicology and it refers to genres of contemporary music, specific to certain subcultures or peripheries from the cultural space that don’t necessarily identify with the occidental/western rules. Outernational defines as opposite to International. It has it’s own means of cultural promotion and dissemination that function on a global level, even if most of the times they come from peripheries, both cultural and geographic. Music that is being assimilated as being Outernational is usually unearthed in Middle Asia, East Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe, including Romania.
The Outernational movement is characterized firstly by musical diversity, many of the bands have roots in, and are being inspired by their traditional music, or from the distinct culture of the community they come from, whilst preserving a powerful contemporary approach. It operates rather as a platform of global promotion more than a genre in itself.
