if Lilly Allen, Goldfrapp, and Macy Gray could have a love child this would be it. Dancey and often soul fun, this fun group whips up ass wiggling tunes. This song has been out for awhile but I thought it was fun.
Ivri Lider decided to speak honestly and openly about his sexual orientation. He has gotten a lot of airtime on LOGO TV, and Out Magazine recognized him as a member of the "Out 100." This version of the song is mellow eye candy. However, the rest of his work has a way to go.
If you haven't heard this of this tranny dj you've been under a rock for the past five years. His work is amasing and has remixed everyone such as Donna Summer, Deborah Cox, Kristine W, Ivri Lider, Dana International, Christina Aguilera and Madonna.

Indian music with a focus on Hindi, Muslim, and ambient
Asha Bhosle: This is the only cut I could find of her that was not from an Indian movie (which are really Really REALLY bad, like 70's porn bad) so the sound quality is fairly poor but it sort of added to the music I think. BTW she is like the CHER or Madonna of Indian music. I have 3 cd's which feature her and I treat them as jewels. -shUrA mI wandile
Ravi Shankar: international star and love father of singer Norah Jones who become popular in the US in the hippie era. His music is classical Hindi where he pioneered the genre with The Beatles and George Harrison.
Loop Guru: I discovered this band in my psychedelic days. Their music middle eastern music with modern loops for a fun and relaxing ambient sound using electronic samples, voices, traditional instruments, and magic.
Ladysmith Black Mambazo: this famed coral group started in 1960 and have been awarded several emmeys and academy awards. The sound was brought to most of the world through musician Paul Simmon. With a haunting resonance they create layers of sound that touch the soul. - How Long?
Zap Mama : I prefer the album vervison w/o special guest. i have to thank Dene Carrol for finding this band back in the summer of 1996 this song marks the best times in my life! This Belgian group mix R&B with African beats using bottles and even their own bodies. - poetry man w/Phoebe Snow

The Ark - One Of Us Is Gonna Die Young retro-synthropop from Sweden. Alls i can says they be juicy.
The Concretes - 'Kids' It is no secert how great this swedish band is. The main singer is also featured with Peter, Bjorn, and John's "young folks".
Wolfsheim - Find You're Here A lil more up beat. They have been around since the techno crazy of the early 90's, but this is the news single. i assume they are from germany.
Jay-Jay Johanson - Automatic Lover more fun music to boob your head to... and i do mean either to the music or nob hoping (hehehe). I love his hair and make-up, which is not all that shoking to most people cause i dress like that all the time.
