The beat goes on, but much of Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and even The Beatles’ back catalog could be off playlists in Chechnya after the Russian republic instituted limits on musical tempo. From now on, “all musical, vocal and choreographic works,” will be subject to the new limits, the region’s culture ministry said in a Telegram post. Culture minister Musa Dadaev was quoted in the post as saying they should be between 80 and 116 beats per minute .
Chechnya’s culture ministry said it had been carrying out “a huge amount of work” on the issue of compliance of Chechen musical, vocal and choreographic compositions with the “Chechen mentality,” when it made the announcement last week on Telegram. “The musical culture of the Chechens was diverse in tempo and methodology,” Dadaev was quoted as saying. “We must bring to the people and to the future of our children, the cultural heritage of the Chechen people.
