I may be a little behind the times posting this; but, I just found it a couple months ago.

I love traditional music mixed with contemporary styling.

Thanks, Terry. These guys have been around for a few years. The 4 cds I just got all play like half shamisen-fusion and half historical document. Very enjoyable.

[OnlyAnEgg]

I'm glad you liked it Xue! I really enjoy sharing the unusual music that I come across.

 

[OnlyAnEgg]

In fact, you might say I am one who delights in all manifestations of the Terpsichorean muse.

I think it's the sokeship that provides the phenomenal music powers

That was brilliant! Like Egg, I like traditional instruments being used in a more contempory composition or in a cross-fertilisation of cultural styles.

For example, I love Bond, tho most people who love 'true' classical music look down on them.

{and yes, I am not too proud to admit that the way they look does not hurt either }

 

[OnlyAnEgg]

I believe, sukerkin, classical looks down on this fine quartet because classical is forced to perform in tuxedos.

Some of my favorite music comes from bhangra, which uses traditional instrumentation in a contemporary setting. While people in the area may disagree, siding with the more street-based hip-hop bhangra, I think Jassi is as decent example as any:

This thread is now about traditional instruments used in modern music
