About.com, Artist Review >>
I've seen six of these bands in real life: the exuberant and always incredible Kusun Ensemble, whose dancing actually made my jaw drop the first time I saw them; the hot, hot, hot bluegrass pickers Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver; Mexico's enchanting Mono Blanco, who are at the forefront of the "renovadar" (renaissance) of traditional son jarocho music, and who were my favorite discovery at the 2008 Penang World Music Festival in Malaysia; Nation Beat, who tear the house down with their Brazilian-meets-Louisiana-cowboy blend every time they play; Novalima, who I just saw a few weeks ago and who I think actually made me a genuinely cooler person for having heard them; and Vasen, who might simply be three of the world's absolute greatest (and unquestionably tallest) instrumentalists. Suffice it to say, if you go, you're in for a treat. You're also in for the wrath of my jealousy, but that's a story for a different time. 08/04/09 >> go there
