Seattle band "Hana Visits Prague", released this self titled debut in 1996. The band consisted of members: Umesh Madan (Vox, Guitar, Percussion), Jonathan Dubman (Vox, Bass, Keyboards, Percussion), Ives Chor (Bass), Lara Hamilton (Vox), and Dave Sanderman (Lead Guitar).
Another great cd from the Sedona, Arizona label "New World Music". Released in 1994, Medwyn Goodall used traditional South American instruments and rhythm to make this classic tribute to the medicine woman.
Uchpa is a great Peruvian rock/blues band. They sound a bit like Led Zeppelin to me at times. I don`t know a whole lot about them. I believe they are still together, and still doing shows that are exciting and energy filled.
These guys were an awesome band from Tacoma Washington. They were fronted by Nabil Ayers, who later went on to play in "Alien Crime Syndicate". Nabil went on to own the music stores "Sonic Boom Records" and the Seattle record label "Collective Fruit".
Here is one from Powaga Sisters, this was Isabelle Antena`s band from 1993 to 2004. They released 3 albums, including "Little Grey`s Night".
Here is a great cd from the legendary Japanese jazz pianist Yosuke Yamashita, and his partners Cecil McBee and Pheeroan Aklaff, who make up a killer trio. These three got together in the 80`s and formed the "New York Trio". This was in a lot of folks opinion`s their best work. Yosuke first played professionally in 1959.
Brothers Cameron and Ryan Jones, make up "Two Guys". Cameron was in the bands Thingy and Pinback, and you can hear the influence of those bands on "Recorded". Cameron sounds a lot like Matthew Sweet. The vocals of Cameron Jones work well with the music. Their music is "poppy" and have been compared to the band Built to Spill. This was a great debut for the duo.
