I found this band, as always, by accident, and I have to say that I like it very much. The title of this entry pretty much describes what type of music they play. Hailing from Kazakhstan, one of those ex-soviet republics nobody knew about before the fall from the Berlin Wall and afterwards, they combine rock influences with Huno-Kazakh instruments and traditions, pretty much sounding fresh and different, but at the same time very accesible. I found some videos on YouTube, one of them showing them sharing the stage with none other than Steven Seagal, the martial artist-actor (of sorts) that sometimes dabbles in music. And the result is nice enough. And I have to say, the violinist/singer happens to be one of the prettiest women I have ever seen.
Here's a live rendition of the song "Teriskakpay" (I have no idea what that means, okay?)
And here we have "Adai", and it seems to be patriotic of sorts.
Now, I have no idea of the name of this song. I am getting the CD soon, and this song is pretty cool and that violin lady looks quite fetching.
And here we have something really energetic, "Jumyr-Kylysh", or "The Legend of the Gray Wolf", and according to the video, seems to portray a traditional huno-turk hero similar to Kipling's Mowgli. Anyway, this song is pretty rocking and the video is cool.
As always, please enjoy and comment.
