Alamaailman Vasarat ("Молоты преисподней") – необычный феномен не только в их родной Финляндии, но и в масштабах всего музыкального мира (мож и громко, но они на это заслуживают). У слушателей возникают проблемы с тем, как охарактеризовать эту инструментальную музыку. Если почитать то, что пишут о музыке Alamaailman Vasarat, то велика вероятность встретить словосочетания типа «этнический панк с медными духовыми». Сами же «молоты» считают, что их музыка уходит корнями в традиционные, хотя и вымышленные, этнические мелодии их собственного континента Vasaraasia (Молот Азии).

Alamaailman Vasarat (Hammers of the Underworld) is a cult avant-garde Finnish group. Their music covers a wide range of styles and influences and is therefore difficult to classify; on their official website they jokingly refer to their style as being "kebab-kosher-jazz-film-traffic-punk-music." Much of their music is reminiscent of klezmer music.

Percussionist Olatunji was championing African music long before anyone devised the worldbeat marketing strategy. His 1986 recording Drums of Passion: The Beat updated his classic Drums of Passion concept, adding rock and pop energy and instrumentalists to the wall of multiple rhythms. The idea clicks, and Olatunji's African beats are contrasted by Airto Moreira's Latin percussion, Mickey Hart's bombastic presence, and such special guests as Carlos Santana and Bobby Vega. ~ Ron Wynn, AMG

     15 years before Tony Bennett made the Great American Songbook safe for the MTV generation, there was Willie Nelson's STARDUST, one of the greatest "crossover" albums in history. The concept was simple: Willie singing a select group of familiar standards by composers such as Carmichael, Berlin, Weill, Ellington, the Gershwins, all in his familiar and inimitable style. Yet the result is not a quite a country treatment of these tunes. For one thing, the great R&B organist Booker T. Jones produced the session in addition to performing with Nelson's superb band featuring the estimable Mickey Raphael on harmonica. One of the enduring pleasures of STARDUST is the interplay between hushed organ, keening harmonica and Nelson's own stately gut-string guitar as well as his beautifully measured, plaintive singing.

            MA, MEYER, O'CONNOR: SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW
   Traditional fiddling in America has its repertorial and stylistic roots in the British Isles of the 18th century, where, insofar as the written record may be trusted, elements of the particular cultural milieu conspired to generate a new class of instrumental tunes out of the ancient stock of British folk melodies and the new leaven of the Baroque violin.

An exhilarating blend of Eastern European-inflected musics loosely tethered to a klezmer attack, with a fondness for opalescent clarinet epiphanies. A studied boozy looseness ("Sicar Mangue Drom," "Nane Tsora") is par for the ethos of the road, but these purported French-based Gypsies are unable to mask a taste for high culture that elevates a ragged Gallic fiddle/wind/accordion troupe to moments of rich ensemble luster. We get breathtaking speed, diversity and transmutation, but we lose the illusion of seat-of-the-pants recklessness that flings the best klezmer airborne. ~ Bob Tarte, All Music Guide

Still in their early 20s, the Yoshida brothers are the new sensations of the Japanese traditional music world, achieving pin-up status with a new legion of fans. The brothers play Tsugaru shamisen, the style from the north of Japan with intricate and fast picking. This is their first album, excellent, but a little short at just over 30 minutes.

Два брата из Японии исполняют музыку в традиционном для севера Японии стиле Цугару-дзямисэн. Они дебютировали в 1999 году в Японии как дуэт, играющий на традиционных инструментах Сямисэнах, их выступление тогда привлекло широкую публику далеко за пределами Японии.

Их музыка — это слияние быстрого ударного стиля игры на сямисэнах цугару-дзямисэн и западной рок и электронной музыки. Барабаны и синтезаторы делают их музыку интересной широкой публике.
Рёитиро Йосида (яп. 吉田 良一郎 Yoshida Ryōichirō, родился 26 июля, 1977) и Кеньити Йосида (яп. 吉田 健一 Yoshida Ken'ichi, родился 16 декабря, 1979) оба из города Ноборибецу, что в преффектуре Хоккайдо в Японии. Братья начали учиться игре на сямисэнах уже в пятилетнем возрасте. Сначала они изучали стиль игры миньё-сямисэн под руководством Кока Адати, а с 1989 года изучали стиль цугару-дзямисэн у мастера Такаси Сасаки.

In Correspondances, the French gypsy group Bratsch offers their own songs, along with arrangements of a traditional song, a song from Django Reinhardt, and others. The title of the CD is a play with words in order to invite listeners to participate in their musical trip: "correspondences" is an invitation to travel, "Corps," "respond," and "dance" can also mean either "to produce with the heart" or "the body responds by dancing," specially when everything goes awry. This trip is what they share with listeners: a life as travelers with no real home and no borders, at home nowhere and everywhere at the same time. This musicical trip is produced with heart as only gypsies know how to do. Music from a heart that bleeds so often because it is a gypsy heart, but a heart full of emotions. ~ Bruno Deschenes , All Music Guide
