What are some great examples of Heavy Metal with World Music influences or infusions?

2010-09-09T04:58:49-06:00

Need to compose a CD for my assessment and thought i’d take a different spin on it, i just can’t find many heavy bands who utilise world music aspects.
The band may be Western, or from another country, but must have a constant and traditional sound throught most of their music.

Thanks so much for your help.

What language are the words “Appa, Muru, Minu, Kare, Chaaku, Suma, Raga and Nishe” from?

Hi,
I’m doing an exercise form my english language course where i’ve got to compare words from different langages and their origins, and then group them. I’m not looking for the meanings of the words (I’ve already been given them) but the actual language they are in. It seems to be coming up as Indian when i put it into Google but the question says it ‘s a European language. Can anone help?

I’m looking for sitar music but more commercial songs that have sitars in them will work. For example Beck - Loser AND the chemical brothers - Enjoyed

it comes with everything apart from sand I think. I got one of these myself nearly a year ago, it’s worth going into your nearest pets at home, they should have some on display and it’ll tell you what you get.

Unlike Chelsea, I’m going to assume that you’ve successfully spelled the musical instrument, as opposed to unsuccessfully spelled the shortened form for babysitter.

Now then:
