^ That`s some fast and furious playing !

Another stringed instrument, with a different tone, is the Kora from West Africa; a dried gourd forms the body of the instrument and the twenty-one strings are usually of humble nylon fishing line, but the sound they produce is beautifully delicate. Unfortunately, we don`t get to see the playing up close in this clip -but I chose this one anyway because of the soothing tune :

Bobby Chen - One Night in Beijing



Tat Lau & Paisley Wu - Yet Yet



Tat Ming Pair - Forget Him is Her



Tat Ming Pair - Do you still love me?



Tat Lau's Dream - Rose Garden



Lo Tai Yu & Lim Kiong - Everybody Don't Panic



Lo Tai Yu - Taipei's Red Rose

I don't see any discussion on Italian music!
I am a big fan of Vasco Rossi.
Anyone else familiar?
He is really big in Italy and I love
his bad ass attitude.
I'm not Italian and do not speak either.

Lebanese singer Yasmine Hamdan. She's definitely one of my favourites.

I can recommend Turkish music. I'm Turkish :)

If you like rock music you should listen Şebnem Ferah. She have a perfect voice.

Perdeler 'Curtains'


Sigara 'Cigarette'


Artık Kısa Cümleler Kuruyorum


And yet another Turkish singer, Sertab Erener. You should listen her too.

Tanrı Unutmuş Olsa da

Fatih Erdemci - Ben Ölmeden Önce


İncesaz - Çok Aşığın Var Diyorlar


İlkay Akkaya - Fırtınada Gemim

Korean traditional music
 

Song Hee...btw, what kind of vocal range does she have?Soprano? Alto?

Some old-school russian shredding.

I just discovered, Mohsen Namjoo. And i very liked his song. You should listen this song. Wikipedia: "Mohsen Namjoo is an Iranian musician, singer-songwriter. His style of music is influenced by Blues and Rock as well as Iranian folk music. The lyrics of his songs are also odd combination of Persian classical poems, his own lyrics, and contemporary poems; and uses the words freely with irony and sarcasm to carry the music and make a free style of singing. An Iranian correspondent for The New York Times in Iran wrote that "some call him a sort of Bob Dylan of Iran"".

The Firangees
 

Check out the Firangees from India. It's a project created by music producers. They dont do any live shows though preferring to release their songs (about 1 song a month free downloads) on their soundcloud account and their website.

For me, these bands are quite not bad if you interest in Asian songs
Japan - One OK rock
China - Wu Yue Tian
Singapore - Sphaeras
Thailand - The Rubes
