Music: Don't need no translation for good beats

So, I know it's been awhile since my last post. But just to let you know I've been frantically working on a pretty darn epic history and art post to put on here. So it's not completely that I've gone MIA...I just have so much to do blog-posts have taken a back burner. But I thought you all might enjoy a little post about all the different kinds of music we've been experiencing here!

So I'll go by country...hope you enjoy!

First, let's visit Germany:
My friend Boris was kind enough to share this artist and song with me. I have no idea what is being said, but it's pretty catchy.

And then Franci (Boris's girlfriend) shared this music with me. They aren't German, BUT I love them and have to share anyway.

Now let's go to the Netherlands! There are lots for this one... but all equally enjoyable!
And all the credits for these videos go to my friend Melanie, she's dutch and she knows her stuff.

This is a really cool song she showed me:

And here's an equally cool one (I really like this guy for some reason, but I can't seem to download any of his stuff!!!):

Let's go to TURKEY!
First, classical Turkish music:

Then some pop:

And this is the song we had the treat to hear our friends sing one night. This was probably one of the coolest experiences of my life and I will never forget sitting on that bed and hearing this song, eyvallah friends.

So there is just a little of the new music I am enjoying over here. You would think I would have more Lithuanian bands for you to enjoy, but that's not the case at all really. But we'll get there!
Viso gero for now friends! History and Art blog posts to come soon!

Oh! And P.S. There is a BIG November trip coming up soon! Just to let you know that the plans and preparation for huge adventure all over Europe is being set in action; I'm talking Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, and France here people! More to come on that later  :)
