Chechnya has reportedly banned music that is too fast or too slow.
The Russian republic is said to have ruled that all music should “correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute (BPM)”.
Its culture ministry made the announcement in a statement earlier this week, according to the Moscow Times.
The new standard of music is relatively slow compared to a lot of modern day pop music and would rule out a number of western genres from being played publicly in the conservative Islamic society.
