REC feat. Pescelet – “Mind Repüljön” (from IT WASN’T ME!)

This week’s episode may be one of the most important of Season 8, if not this entire show. And it might be one of the timeliest.

The US has an amazing array of music, but we don’t know everything. While we’ve often gotten crossover artists from the UK, Canada & Australia, as well as a few other non-English countries, most of what we hear is homegrown.

That means there’s a literal WORLD OF MUSIC we know nothing about. Other countries have hugely popular, legendary, million selling artists we’ve NEVER HEARD OF. This episode is my small effort to correct that, and expose us to music we SHOULD KNOW that’s every bit as good as what we DO KNOW.

I profile artists from 25 countries that never quite broke in the States, and hopefully inspire you to give them a listen.

What bands or artists from other countries come to mind that you think American listeners don’t know at all? Are you surprised that the artists I mentioned were so huge? Does any of this make you want to listen for yourself? And does it make you think differently about other cultures? Discuss dammit!

BONUS MxTRA: All Western music has been shaped by Germany
