After a best mate of mine introduced me to Fela Kuti's works I've been real interested in hearing music from other cultures you don't hear much stuff from. Doesn't have to be traditional music styles (love it when genres and cultures fuse together, like Masayoshi Takanaka taking influence from Brazilian music), but I'd love to hear that as well!

The Mongolian metal band The Hu fuse tradition instruments with metal styling and a badass attitude that Genghis would approve of

Also their name is great.

If you like The Hu check out Uuhai and Batzorig Vaanchig.

And they will finally play their homeland for the first time since making it!

The Hu at this point might be more famous than the country they're from (which to be fair, isn't THAT obscure, but how often DO you think of Mongolia?)

Ah yes the band that gave me tinnitus. Wonderful to see live just make sure you have earplugs and not get stuck by the crowd next to the speakers with two beers and a deaf sound engineer.

Loop Experience ones are good. Otherwise, tissue.

Thinking of Asian metal related music reminded me of Senyawa who are from Indonesia

Great band, on the more experimental side of things
