Artists You Have Discovered Lately

I was told I would like Arooj Aftab.
She's got a richly textured voice, backed-up by spacey, mellow instruments.
Part jazz, part classic-minimalist, some hip-hop, dash of Asian, blended as world(?) music.
My mate heard it, came in the room and appeared to have liked it... but Arooj Aftab's style is too complex for my tastes!

... plus, I had to look up whose lingua franca Urdu was.:facepalm:

Read this review and gave it try on Qobuz. If you like beat bass and electronic, kind of reminds me of The Art of Noise. So many good songs had trouble picking two.

 
Authentic music from Siberia. I just discovered them.
Fantastic!
Their video clips are also very high quality.
Sometimes they combine their music with EDM music.
The view is also impressive!

OTYKEN Live
 
Here's one I bet few aware of, Little Big From Russia. Very creative and fun stuff. Been around a while too. The visuals of their vids plus the music as the combination experience is great. Genre wise I don't know what they'd be called. Humor a big part of their stuff, with a good techno beat:

 
If you really want to hear what autotune (v.2024) sounds like and want to see if you can detect it: Manual-tune to Charli XCX' new album "Brat"!
:(
 
Horse Lords is an experimental band of sax and rhythm section some friends played with. Very good drummer.

"The Baltimore-based experimental rock band Horse Lords use just intonation tuning, a system favored by avant-garde composers La Monte Young and James Tenney. To achieve this tuning, band member Owen Gardner modifies the band's guitars by repositioning the frets. The band says that learning to feel and hear the intervals is the most important part of playing in just intonation"

 
Greetings, my first post. While I have heard of Oum Kalthoum I've never actually found her records in good condition in the wild until recently. Really enjoying this one;



I found this one just today;

 
Mabe Fratti is a Guatemalan cellist/vocalist whose latest album Sentir Que No Sabes (Bandcamp link) has really caught my ear. Trying to describe what genre it is beyond me, but it's great singing and playing and very interesting music.

This live session from last year is also pretty good.
