(Because the threads I managed to find were too specific and inactive over 6 months and my necromancy only ends up in angry deities appearing and smiting everyone, I wanna start a new more-general topic.)
Name a D&D 5e culture and the kind of music you imagine in the D&D 5e setting. If you have an example that you wish to link, please be certain that it's hosted legally.
ex. The native denizens of the Clockwork Nirvana of Mechanus probably would have no music, but the entire plane might reverberate with rhythmic sounds. ex. Halfling communities might have stuff that sounds like old folk music and stuff that resembles old Gaelic jigs.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.
Drumbeats in Chultan settlements (more specifically, West African music, even though Chult is based more off the Amazon)
Kara-Tur could have pretty much any east asian music, but whatever medieval Japanese music is?
WATERDEEP IS THE CITY OF POP MUSIC. NO ARGUEING.
Baldur's Gate is death metal. I think this is obvious. Preferably a song that says "worship satan" when parts of it are played backwards
Icewind dale is Beatles music, cause if the WotC peeps put a bard who sings Beatles songs in there at the last minute, they can take my money. WotC, I'll be waiting and watching.
In my humble opinion, the clockwork nirvana of Mechanus would have Nirvana as their resident band.
Just some stuff to get started. If I accidentally offend your taste in music and/or culture, please accept my apology in advance.
For Dwarves I use really base-y men's choral music. Gregorian chant, Red Army Choir, etc. But what I really like is Mongolian Tuvan music. It's just sounds totally unlike anything else anyone's ever heard, so since most of the action in my campaign happens next door to the Dwarven Kingdom, it underlines that the Dwarves have a whole different culture.
I've been waiting and waiting for a chance to use a piece of music as the Entrance March of the King of the Gnomes. The piece is called Chasing Sheep is Best Left to Shepherds, by Michael Nyman, as part of his score for a movie called The Draughtsman's Contract. It's exactly right for just that one thing that never comes up.
League of legends (Runeterra). Just name a champ from a region, and the champs music matched with the region. I particularly like Iverns theme for Ionia, and pantheon's theme for targon, demacia and noxus.

Homebrew: Magic items, Subclasses
I can imagine viols, flutes and harps being the most common instruments in elven settlements.
I think Gregorian chants work well in a Yuan-ti temple when they are praying.
I also am thinking of putting the Star Wars Cantina band in a tavern in Baldur's Gate.
