Chechnya bans music that is too fast or too slow - eviltoast
  • 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.
