I spend stupid hours on Wikipedia, Google, and TH-cam for the same exact reasons I did on Encarta. Learning about as much culture, art, useful, and useless shit as I can without spending money or affording travel. Encarta was one of the OGs, really my first gateway to the international world. I regret being in an environment where I never let myself explore it truthfully.
The first example of guitar is Albert King playing Blues. I was 13 when I heard this, and used to listen to that little clip over and over. I'm 32 now, and a huge Albert King fan. My blues band is recording an album and a guitarist from The Albert King band is going to be playing on it. All started here! :)
Same with me except it was the footage of the Venus Flytrap catching the frog that I watched over and over. Now I'm a 6ft tall carnivorous plant in the family Droseraceae of the order Caryophyllales. I spent most of my early years with flies and bugs but next week I'm moving into a marshland area where I will hopefully fulfill my dream of catching a frog. All started here.
I cannot thank you enough for putting this up, truely. I spent hours on this CD learning and absorbing as a kid and it is so cool to hear these all again!!
It's absolutely amazing how many years can go by without hearing something, and the moment you hear it again, it's like you never stopped listening to it.
No way…I thought I discovered that song as an adult, and it turns out I must have heard it a ton of times as a child and simply forgotten about it. WOW that is blowing my mind ❤
in case you’re wondering , the full song is “St Thomas” by Sonny Rollins. I heard it in the boat scene in the movie “Working Girl” and almost fell out of my chair
I would play with this for hours, this and the language section. To think about it now, I have no idea how it was that entertaining... I'm lying ...I'm actually singing along with all the music parts right now... I still fricken remember them.
Also this just makes me so happy reading all of these comments. I'm glad to know others loved playing this game as much as I did on the Encarta 97 disk. :) it really makes me feel less alone out here. Really rad. Thanks again for the post
Oh my f-k god... I had on my mind the "Steel Drums" beat since I first heard it around 17 years ago and now, by just wandering in the internet I find this. Makes me feel... just...
When i was about 2 years old, me and my grandmother would go on this all the time and i would always laugh my ass off at the hurdy gurdy because of it's name, and then i started having these really weird dreams where the hurdy gurdy would randomly descend from the sky and start attacking me and i kept having the dream over and over again for like a week. It like traumatized me and wherever i went i was afraid the hurdy gurdy was gonna attack me and i was absolutely horrified for like 2 weeks. it was weird as hell lol, but still this is really bringing back some memories, had some good times with this when i was a kid
yo....... this shaped my music taste.. i didn't even know the kora was in here. but frankly i didn't even know most of these instruments i just knew they sounded good. the ney had my soul.
Oh my goodness those steeldrums... and the benjo, the panpipes, the bonang... It's been more than 10 years since I last heard those pieces, this makes me feel some really strong emotions. Encarta is my childhood.
Thanks for making this!! I spent hours exploring this map as a kid and, looking back, I credit it with helping me fall in love with the diverse world of music
This was the ONLY part of Encarta I understood XD Also, the only source through which I became able to recognize any classical or standard jazz pieces. Educational software, you've served your purpose.

@@ElizabethVega93 You absolute gem! Had no idea this was an actual track, thought it was a sample made specifically for Encarta!! 30 years of wonder finally put to rest 😂😁👍
Here I am at 32 with Elvis Costello “Pump It Up” stuck in my head because I heard it first on Encarta ‘97. I just googled that song again and it brought back major nostalgia, so naturally I ended up here.
I remember this! It was so weird at first, as I was used to music from the Radio or TV, but now I despise what's on the radio and TV. I listen to my own selection of music on the internet now.
Thanks for making this real! I used Encarta Music Lab to know music when I was just 7 years and learning how to use a PC. Nowadays during my 27s, I confirm without that childhood discovery, my live wouldn’t have been the same as now without world music. Thank you for giving me that childhood remember! Got a big smile for myself!
Wow! This brought back memories...and to my surprise you played the one example (at 14:18) of Philippine kulintang that inspired me to do research on Philippine musics till this day ^_^
lol to us this was the internet before we had the internet or even really understood what the internet was. the whole encarta series. our school had them back then. i loved the mindmaze game, the orbit simulator, soundgarden and grandmaster flash music clips etc
I miss that so much! It is pretty amazing that they could get so much material and fit it into a cd at that time. It is also kidan funny how some of the photos are... not very professional, to say the least. I could never imagine at the time this was "hot" that we would have wikipedia!
I used to bump the hell outta that Sonny Rollins sample as a kid!! Thanks for preserving the first electronic encyclopedia that brought so much knowledge, entertainment, and joy.

This changed my life as a kid. It's probably the reason I love world music so much. Anyone have the Hungarian song where it's a choir of children singing this really upbeat, fast song?
A lot of memories remain. When i was a kid, i played these musical instruments over and over again. But i feel so throwback remains. Never be the same, you dig that.
This used to be my only exposure to music besides MIDI from The Incredible Machine games, as I did not have internet access yet. The Khean one was my freaking jam. No clue that such an exotic instrument to sound like an electronic organ!
How did I just find this?! I’m on a quest to find a single track of non-gamelan Indonesian music from this CD, but it’s so good to hear all of this again... I feel like I should leave in this thread that this CD is pretty much the reason I’ve spent a huge chunk of my life studying Indonesian, Arabic, Ottoman, Central Asian, and now Persian and Bulgarian music (in addition to Indian music which my parents let me study as a kid). Such a joy to see this shared experience guiding so many of us through the wide world of music ❤️
I remember when I spent hours listening to these sounds, the music, the information, it was good fun for a homebody like me. I can recall back then I fell in love with the sound of the steel drum and the mbira
Sonny Terry on this blues harmonica used to crack me and my cousin up as kids, we replayed that snippet SO many times. She had an Acer, I had a Packard Bell 🤣 I never knew the name of the song or artist til I found this video. So many memories. I appreciate his skill so much as an adult now.

Thank you as well! I have looked for this song for many years!
Yep as eJuice Man said is Mwashah and this particular version is interpreted by Hamza el Din
I was wondering that for the longest time, too! I finally tracked it down and it's also known by the name "Lamma Bada Yatathanna".
I was looking for that Wynton Marsalis jazz trumpet solo everywhere! Thanks for uploading!
The Kora was one of my favourites, so much nostalgia :)
Same it sounds really pretty
Just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this
A lot of memories remain. When i was a kid, i played these musical instruments over and over again. But i feel so throwback remains. Never be the same, you dig that.
My first time in Encarta!!!! When I was 8 years old!!! :')
I have been searching for the clarinet music from encarta for decades, and it still eludes me. Wish it was included in this video 😢
00:46 immediately took me back to when I was 7 years old 😢
Nice to see a lot of us enjoy this in our childhood ^~^
Banjo and steel drum ensemble is why I cam here :)
This is like an ultra-special member-berry!
I miss this program so much. We need a reboot of Encarta!
I would play these sounds over and over. The sitar/raga music was my favorite.
This used to be my only exposure to music besides MIDI from The Incredible Machine games, as I did not have internet access yet. The Khean one was my freaking jam. No clue that such an exotic instrument to sound like an electronic organ!
Omg the incredible machine was such a good game
How did I just find this?! I’m on a quest to find a single track of non-gamelan Indonesian music from this CD, but it’s so good to hear all of this again...
I feel like I should leave in this thread that this CD is pretty much the reason I’ve spent a huge chunk of my life studying Indonesian, Arabic, Ottoman, Central Asian, and now Persian and Bulgarian music (in addition to Indian music which my parents let me study as a kid). Such a joy to see this shared experience guiding so many of us through the wide world of music ❤️
I remember when I spent hours listening to these sounds, the music, the information, it was good fun for a homebody like me. I can recall back then I fell in love with the sound of the steel drum and the mbira
Finally, been waiting for so long for someone to upload these
Aaah the memories are hitting hard. I remember every note of these songs
Many memories... I would love the world to stay in that time forever! Cuz today... oh today 🥴
I remember all of these so vividly from listening to them so many times that I dont even have to watch this video, but i love it thanks!
I swear I had 98 version, but I think I had this one...I really do want to go back to the 90s sometimes...I was 7-8 when I had this
I always played it every evening:3
Sonny Terry on this blues harmonica used to crack me and my cousin up as kids, we replayed that snippet SO many times. She had an Acer, I had a Packard Bell 🤣 I never knew the name of the song or artist til I found this video. So many memories. I appreciate his skill so much as an adult now.
07:49 omg I loved that melody!
Encarta 99 :´(
+impossibleisfaby

Cello Suite in C Major, BWV 1009: V. Bourrée I & II

God bless
You can check the Movie Einstein, in a scene Einstein play a song to Mileva, and is the same song !!!
The stuff that comes later is a string quartet by Haydn.
Balalaika 8:30 my fav 🤩✨ the folk music..
