Chechnya has reportedly banned music that is too fast or too slow.<\/p>\n

The Russian<\/a><\/strong> republic is said to have ruled that all music should “correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute (BPM)”.<\/p>\n

Its culture ministry made the announcement in a statement earlier this week, according to the Moscow Times.<\/p>\n

The new standard of music is relatively slow compared to a lot of modern day pop music and would rule out a number of western genres from being played publicly in the conservative Islamic society.<\/p>\n

The republic’s leader Ramzan Kadyrov instructed culture minister Musa Dadayev to make Chechen music “conform to the Chechen mentality,” the Moscow Times said.<\/p>\n

“Borrowing musical culture from other peoples is inadmissible,” Mr Dadayev reportedly said.<\/p>\n

The ban was reportedly announced following a meeting between the republic’s ministry and local and regional artists.<\/p>\n

But artists are said to have been given until 1 June to rewrite music that doesn’t meet the criteria – and if their music isn’t reworked, they won’t be allowed to perform it in public.<\/p>\n

All western rave and techno music, which tends to be of a higher BPM, would be banned under the new rule.<\/p>\n

Chechnya has been a vocal supporter of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

It has also seen a wave of anti-LGBTQ+ violence in recent years, including reports of anti-gay purges, that the UN described as “acts of persecution and violence on an unprecedented scale”.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
