Music around the world

[KC]

I've been hearing a lot of great foreign music lately, and I'd really like to hear more.

I've been especially digging a lot of Eastern European music though, I'll start with some of that.

Japanese rock

Ever heard of Beats Antique? They're from here in America, but their style uses a lot of Middle-Eastern bellydancing influence. I think they're sick as $#@!.

I can't say I've heard them before now, but I like what I'm hearing. Post #2 is an American-Israeli band called Balkan Beat Box. I'm not so worried about the band's origin as I am hearing a different take on music, either music that has western roots being interpreted by another culture or music from another part of the world.

Anyone interested in great instrumental hip hop might like Nujabes

Germany has some very interesting music. I'm sure you've heard some of this $#@!.

That's kind of what I figured. I'll spare you the injustice of another "Gangnam Style," post because that $#@! would totally belong in this thread if I wanted to be "that guy."

But I don't, (not tonight, anyway) so have this instead.



And since I assume the root of what you're looking for is really just a change from the crap we Americans listen to day in and day out:

Oh yeah. I listened to Rammstein a lot in High school, only discovered KMFDM more recently. If you're into Rammstein though you might like these guys:

Eisbrecher is dope. Ever heard of Megaherz? Wumpscut? Trust me, German music is no stranger to my ears.
