Officials in Chechnya, a conservative republic in the south of Russia, have announced a ban on music that is deemed the “wrong” tempo.

According to Classic FM, the region’s Ministry of Culture said, “From now on all musical, vocal and choreographic works should correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute.”

The new ban comes after the head of the republic, head of the republic Ramzan Kadyrov tasked his minister of culture Musa Dadayev with “ensuring that the region’s musical enterprise conforms to the Chechen mentality and sense of rhythm.”

According to the magazine the legislation wants to preserve traditional folk music and remove perceived Western influences.

In a statement, Dadayev said, “Borrowing musical culture from other peoples is inadmissible. We must bring to the people and to the future of our children the cultural heritage of the Chechen people. This includes the entire spectrum of moral and ethical standards of life for Chechens.”

The ban will affect many contemporary electronic and pop music as well as some Russian classical pieces. NPR has released some music that is deemed ineligible according to the new law which you can read here.
