Much of the more interesting and exciting rock-based music in the world today is coming from parts outside of the U.S. and Europe. As evidence I submit these two great collections from the archivists at Trikont, whose impact of Western Pop has brought about a refreshing revision of local folk traditions.
Russendisko takes a more concentrated focus on the underground music of Russia. Inspired by a twice-monthly night in a little-known East Berlin club, this collection features key songs by some well-known (Red Elvises, Leningrad) and some sadly-overlooked artists from Russia. There’s a hearty dose of ugly ska-punk to sift through, but in general, the rousing gypsy-punk, klezmer and balalaika rock gathered here is a refreshing lift for fans of Gogol Bordello, Firewater and the aforementioned traditions. Don’t expect minor-chord morose Machiavellian ballads, however.
This is another album from the Trikont series "Russen Disko" called "Russen Soul" and it´s an intersting view to the soul of russian underground music today.
Although the song titels are in German, all musicians sing in her own, russian language.
