2. calin
Calin's official site contains free mp3 files, discography, biography, reviews. Calin is a composer, guitarist, arranger providing music into world, electronic and surf genres.
Calin is an independent Romanian artist. His music is very original and hard to describe, but if you want a superficial classification, then you can think about something between world fusion and experimental. Combining electric guitar, synthesizers, and exotic instruments, "Calin displays creativity and subtle moods. There are fast rocky tunes as well as slower, more nuanced ones.".
"Radiant Shadows", Calin's debut solo album, was released in April 2000. The CD contains 7 songs and 2 suites, a coherent mixture of world traditions, instrumental classic rock and experimental stuff, so it is very diverse in terms of styles. Once a visitor of the artist's site said "each new song has it's own style, its own identity" and he is so right. From the Middle Eastern themes of "He's Dead" to the experimental relaxing techniques of "Too Lazy to Sit on the Grass" and then to the light rock of "Love at First Type", you can hear a big amount of styles.
In January 1, 2000, Calin launched his first Internet site, presenting his music, free, in mp3 or RealAudio form. Songs were uploaded on the site as soon as they were released, so the site visitors were able to assist to "Radiant Shadows" recording work, being able to comment or to vote for the songs or version of the songs they like the most ...

5. cheza
"Cheza" (pronounced like "ch" is choose and "ez" in fez) is a Swahili word that means "to dance, to play." Cheza's music has been described as Afro-pop, "garage-soukous", and folk-African fusion.
Cheza was formed in 1993 by singer-guitar player Paul Weber. Paul lived briefly in Senegal, west Africa where his interest in African music began. The search for others who shared his love of African styles led to the formation of Cheza. Band members include: Phil Bova (drums), Pat Giunta (guitar and vocals), Rob Graves (percussion), Stella Haybukhai (vocals), Neema Mugala (vocals), and Stuart Watkins (bass).
The music of Cheza is a blend of African styles with rock and folk influences -- a new-world hybrid. The result is a collection of songs with strong choral harmonies and fluid inter-playing guitars, all unified by an irresistible dance beat. Song themes range from strong statements of the human spirit to Canadian history to hot spices. Lyrics are sung in English, French, Xhosa, Portuguese, Zulu and Swahili ...
