#music 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

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. ❤️ 🎶
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 One last Black Violin video, this one with a powerful cultural and political message about gun violence, so I'll post it as a reply to this with a content warning.

@walterbays
Wow, thanks for sharing those!
The gun violence video is so on point! Resonates with the murder of Elijah McClain, an unarmed black kid, in Aurora, CO. He wasn't shot, but abused and given an OD of ketamine. Interestingly, he played the violin. 😢
I played Black Violin's "Brandenburg" three times! ❤️ 🎶
And I love the Bollywood video! The way they begin from ordinary sounds reminds me of Stomp Out Loud, 1997.
