Combining and updating traditional oriental music
with modern times and alternative melodies.
Boiled in Lead
Folk, punk and all sorts of worldwide influences gets
wound into a vibrant style .
Dead Can Dance
One of the most versatile bands that I have ever
heard. Ranging from medieval Celtic to pop to
African. Member Lisa Gerard just scored the
soundtrack for The Gladiator. Did I mention how
talented they are?
Bebel Gilberto
Golden voiced and the daughter of a Brazilian legend.
May not be alternative to some. Yet what is more
alternative than what you have not heard. Women will
dance with you.
The Real McKenzies
These hard-core Scotsmen call Vancouver Canada home.
Blending Celtic, punk and psychodelia with a touch of
humour.Ever hear a bagpipe playing the part of lead
guitar?
Rinocerose
Guitar driven dance music. My Bloody Valentine with
energy. Think Joy Division with a disco beat. Hey
Mixer magazine gives them a
nine out of ten.
All Things Considered
Danú There's a lot of things that go into the making
of a great traditional group - a respect for the gift
that's been handed on to you, a knowledge of the
repertoire, an ear for how to put old pieces together in
new ways, an ability to write new pieces in the spirit of
the tradition and straight up instrumental chops. But the
magic ingredient of truly great trad bands is fun - one
of the key reasons the music has lasted so long and in
the right hands still sounds good today. ~Dugg Simpson
