Actually I'm not surprised at all. Not because I don't like the song but nearly all World-music (which is in fact a stupid name) gets low average ratings here.
 
I know, right?

I wonder if the band name plays upon the french 'loup-garou' which translates to 'werewolf'

I like the bit where there is no wailing best

Boring and repetitive. A 15 second loop repeated. Hence the name of the group I guess. A solid 3.

I gave it a boost with a 7, interesting stuff.  Not the typical everyday beat. Not for the Dolly Parton's fan

Isn't it though?  And it got me to wondering, where did the name come from....and Wiki has an answer:  

The term has been credited to ethnomusicologist Robert E. Brown, who coined it in the early 1960s at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, where he developed undergraduate through doctoral programs in the discipline. To enhance the learning process (John Hill), he invited more than a dozen visiting performers from Africa and Asia and began a world music concert series.[8][9] The term became current in the 1980s as a marketing/classificatory device in the media and the music industry.[10] There are several conflicting definitions for world music. One is that it consists of "all the music in the world", though such a broad definition renders the term virtually meaningless.

So....it in fact became popular as a marketing ploy to get us Westerners to accept foreign sounding music....huh...yeah...I'm not a fan of the term...though I REALLY enjoy the music, though I'm sticking w/ my 6 rating on this one (still above the 5.1 average) Long Live RP and ALL music, even extraterrestrial-music!!

While not my favourite track from these folk they still get my vote for one of the cleverest names going. Where wolf? There wolf... and it's trippy like crazy.

Yeah, my favorite "Jonny Quest" episode where that's all the guy can say - Loup Garou!

The Beatles had a Loopy Guru. "Hey Mia, let me run my hands thru your Karma!" Ohmmmmm....

No, not really. And upon listening further, maybe even less than that.

I like the kettle drums - reminds me of gr. 9 music class (hit drum hard, stomp on pedal, get kicked out, go for a smoke)

Well, let me just double the avarage here. Though it is a bit repetitive, I still like it very much. edit: reminds me of Hevia

Gee, all those low votes... I think this thing is light, fun and quite enjoyable. The drums are excellent - all of them!

During the first part of this song I tried to throw my computer out the window. Fortunately I had safety glass installed. Damage to the computer was minimal. Then the second part of the song came along and I apologized to my computer.

Definitely has that "soundtrack" feel. Doesn't necessarily make it "cinematic," however.

THERE'S NO ADVERTISING? Oh... dear... that means we might hear just about ANYTHING?!!? ;) We can't have THAT! We might hear something New or Interesting or DIFFERENT. :p Yes, that was humor. philarktos is right! Some more bhangra would be str8 (pimp) Any interest in a S.Asian/Reggae/funk fusion band? Maybe I could try one of these upload thingies. -ptah

Personally, I love Indian/fusions of various kinds. Wish I knew if anyone has tried to upload any bhangra, say by Johnny Kalsi\'s(one of the AfroCelt\'s drummers)\"Dhol Collective\", before going out to buy it for upload.
