Slava & Leonard Grigoryan

Slave Grigoryan is an Australian classical guitarist, which I immensely enjoy listening to.. that is whenever I remember that he exists. He is obviously playing in a genre that is not commonly listened to be most people these days but he is very good. The above YouTube link contains some excerpts of him playing with his brother. Not full pieces but it's enough to get an idea of his playing. Leonard, I can only assume, is his brother.

Cold Fairyland (2007.1.17 - Live in Holland)

Cold Fairyland is a band who have originated in Shanghai, China. Their music is quite experimental but in many ways quite mind blowing. Even without understand the lyrics, which are sung in Mandarin, the universal language of music shines through. I guess this could be considered as World Music. The YouTube video above is a good example of what they have to offer but of course with this type of music, you really need to listen to a few of their songs to get a better understanding of what they are trying to achieve.
