Alamaailman Vasarat - Huuro Kolkko (Finlândia) 2009

Formação vanguardista finlandesa, a qual sintetiza música étnica das mais variadas proveniências (nórdica, judaica, árabe, centro-europeia, africana e latino-americana, entre outras) e a mistura deliciosamente com jazz, música clássica e rock, resultando daí instrumentais de uma dinâmica furiosa e contagiante, que contrastam com outros de maior abrandamento e obscura melancolia.

Aphrodite’s Child - 666 [1971] Grécia

Aphrodite’s Child foi uma banda grega de rock progressivo formada em 1968 pelo vocalista Demis Roussos, o multi-instrumentalista Vangelis Papathanassiou e o baterista Loukas Sideras. Depois de uma tentativa frustrada para entrar na Inglaterra, a banda reagrupou-se em Paris, onde o guitarrista Anargyros “Silver” Koulouris juntou-se a eles (embora ele fosse forçado a deixar a banda devido a prestação do serviço militar, com a guitarra e baixo sendo tocados por Roussos durante sua ausência).
