old filipino music is a wierd emalgamation of spanish love music, american folk and country music, and rock. new fillipino music nowadays is trying to mimick american pop or kpop.

Iā€™m very interested then, I love Mexican or Spanish ballads! I probably know the most about that music than anyone in the forum

i would recommend ā€œDen Svenska Bjƶrnstamenā€. Its a Swedish pop/folk band, and they have some well recorded bangers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI2EcRXR7RU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsKHlSmv2q8

I have listened to Greek music since I was a kid, as my Father is Greek. I highly recommend Stelios Kazantzidisā€¦he is the equivalent of a Greek version of Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley wrapped into 1.

Stumbled over this Bulgarian choir session last month. personally, I find itā€™s multi-layered tonality and slightly odd time signature a beautiful orchestration. Thatā€™s to say Iā€™m thoroughly intrigued.
@anon54878099: Great post BTW, love the idea of embracing music of different cultures.

Thanks for this. I thought it would be a good idea because most people say current music is bad but they are limiting themselves to one language or donā€™t look deep enough. I believe that you are bound to find something great if you look without borders

Musica Nuda - Live Ć  FIP
A combination of Italian songs performed only with a double bass and amazing vocals, also there are a few of English covers of mainstream pieces
The cherry on top is the amazing recording quality, easily of the most well recorded albums in my collection

I highly recommend Wednesday Campanella for anyone even slightly into EDM or J-Pop although I donā€™t think either of those catagories describe them well enough. They have a lot weird conceptual stuff and a lot beautifully produced stuff closer to traditional(?) EDM.

https://youtu.be/4qPSHOTzidw I think Melos is a really good intro to their stuff, but Ra, Genghis Khan, Aladdin, and Shakushain all slap. Their two most recent albums are the more experimental, less musical ones but I still find them enjoyable.

Another recommendation for Greek music is a modern artist, Notis Sfakianakis. Here is one of his most popular songs.

Heilung describes their music as amplified history from early medieval northern Europe. I Love this live album, great quality. The female singer, Maria Franz, is just amazing.
10:50 for some tingles.
