After a best mate of mine introduced me to Fela Kuti's works I've been real interested in hearing music from other cultures you don't hear much stuff from. Doesn't have to be traditional music styles (love it when genres and cultures fuse together, like Masayoshi Takanaka taking influence from Brazilian music), but I'd love to hear that as well!

Kenya: Just a Band. Funky, rocky at times, just great music.

Iran: not a band, but a movie representation of the scene. No One Knows About Persian Cats. I have a personal connection to this movie; if you watch it, let me know and I'll fill you in (not publicly though, you'll understand why).

Cambodia: Reign in Slumber. Metal. Changed singers (new one is from the Philippines), still great.

Vietnam: Cut Lon. Metal. Used to dress in hilarious Pikachu balaclavas. Fun, loud, entertaining.

Belarus: Molchat Doma. Gloomy. Oppressive. Wonderful. Makes me think of the Soviet Union in the 70s (not that I was there or alive then).

Really digging Reign in Slumber. Thanks for the recommendation.

On the topic of Asian metal, Voice of Baceprot just played the Glastonbury festival, which is pretty awesome. All-female Indonesian band.

Also, the dude who works at the gas station down the street introduced me to Minerva, a Bangladeshi metal band.

Sweet! Also check Doch Chkae (like a dog), also Khmer metal (and all Cambodians).

Baceprot, listened to them a few months back and, while nice they're getting coverage, it didn't grab me. Hoping they mature well in the coming year!

Oh, and check After God also (Khmer). Drummer turned singer, just released an EP (YouTube I think).
