I was just reminded of my favorite heavy metal traditional Mongolian folk band, The Hu. I assert there is no better heavy metal Mongolian band.

I can say without hesitation that this is the best Mongolian heavy metal band I've ever heard! Seriously cool stuff. I love when artists blend traditional music with contemporary sounds!

@p3R1n01D Me too! I also enjoy Spanish pianist Miriam Mendez and her flamenco interpretations of Bach.

Also Black Violin for hip hop baroque. I heard a concert for middle school kids and they had 1500 young teens standing and clapping to Bach

@walterbays
Flamenco Bach, this I've got to check out! And the hip hop Bach with the kids sounds awesome! I've loved Bach literally since the cradle. โค๏ธ ๐ŸŽถ

I'll bet you'd like this one, and others by Snakecharmer. It's a powerful mix of traditional Celtic and Punjabi, with a techno-modern sound. Sort of heavy metal on bagpipes. One of my favorites!

@p3R1n01D Stomp Out Loud looks interesting, thanks.

If you're like most, um, like almost nobody, you're probably wondered what would happen if a Scandinavian Euro-trance techno band went to East Africa and started jamming traditional taarab with the locals. Well, it would be Acid Queen.

Sounds like you've got my number, "like almost nobody!" ๐ŸŽฏ ๐Ÿ˜Ž ๐Ÿ˜‚

And yes, as a matter of fact, I've been dying to hear a good Scandinavian Euro-trance group work with traditional East Africans! ๐Ÿ˜‚

That really is great stuff, thanks for passing it along!

@p3R1n01D I wish I knew a speaker who could translate the song Sema for me. It's such a haunting song I'd like to hear the story. Google translate tells me the word "sema" means "say" or "speak" which only piques my curiosity. But I can't spell any of the other words I hear, so can't translate them.
