Not ethnic enough? Ugh. I'll let that one pass.
Yeah, I paused before typing that, but, like, Lo Fi by Superlitio, it's really not a bad tune, but it could have been written and sung by anyone anywhere. Hell, it could easily be Australian pop straight out of Melbourne--lyrics, tune, beat, sound, the lot. Whereas Perro come perro and Que Vo'hacer, while accessible, seem nonetheless like that have something new to say, if you see what I mean. (So I'll be downloading some other stuff too to see if they hold up.)
Or consider, for another example, Zurdok, they're Mexican, sing in Spanish, and sound like Seattle. They're good, but it's weird listening to something so familiar except for the words.
Thus:
-1280 Almas eh, s'okay.
-Kraken What the...? They should be dutch.
-Leon Bruno Opinion pending, still 'Wiring...
-Aterciopelados - not bad.
Really enjoyed their Te juro que no and El Estuche, and a few others I'll listen to some more.
And in other news, found one tune by La Mojarra Eléctrica, name of Calle 19. Funkay.
What do you think of the English singing bands, musically speaking? Only that they're not ethnic enough?
God bless 'em if they want to sound like everyone else.
Dunno. Dunno what makes my ears key to one distinctive sound and not another. Maybe I'm only the judge of what I'll listen to.
And now for a change of pace:
Yo-Yo Ma doing Elgar's Cello Concerto in E minor, Adagio; Moderato
