Chechnya bans dance music that is either too fast or too slow

Ruling means music in Russian republic must ‘conform to Chechen mentality and sense of rhythm’
  • Chechnya officials have banned music deemed too fast or slow, restricting compositions to a tempo of 80-116 BPM.
  • Minister of Culture Musa Dadayev announced the decision at a meeting, as reported by TASS.
  • The ban affects all musical, vocal, and choreographic compositions in the Russian Republic of Chechnya.

Chechnya is a republic of Russia since losing the Second Chechen War but this means that the Russian national anthem, at just 76 BPM, is also banned.

    The Chechen government has denied such allegations, claiming there were no homosexual people in Chechnya, and those who did exist would be rooted out by their own families.
