We had some server issues our first go around with Music Alliance Pact this month, but technology be damned - we're ready to unleash February's MAP of 2011! For those of you who don’t know about MAP, it’s a collection of thirty-five music blogs from around the world who band together once a month to shed light on up-and-comers from their home countries. It’s sort of like the WTO without the human rights violations. After the jump you’ll find music from 35 nations spanning the globe. If you’d like to be considered for this feature, drop by the [...]

The 15th of the month = Music Alliance Pact day.

Este mês, no M.A.P., Portugal traz um artista mas também um projecto de um português. Com um espírito algo semelhante ao do Music Alliance Pact, a divulgação intercultural de artistas locais mas com a adicional tarefa de colocar músicos, de Portugal, Macau e Hong Kong, a colaborar conjuntamente, foi a ideia de David Valentim, para a compilação "T(h)ree". Esta, que é a primeira compilação de outras que se adivinham, com o mesmo objectivo, do lado português, teve a participação de: The Allstar Project, A Naifa, AbztraQt Sir QBalla, Bernado Devlin, [ch'os], Erro!, [...]

Luna asta vă propunem o trupă care deja şi-o construit un nume destul de mare pe scena românească, atât prin concerte dar şi prin mult lăudatul album de debut. Vorbesc de White Walls și al lor Mad Man Circus . Chiar daca muzica e mai agresivă decât ce-am avut pe aici în ultima vreme, e foarte bună, iar puţin metal nu strică niciodată.

Jälle käes kuu viieteistkümnes kuupäeva ja aeg Music Alliance Pactiks. Kuna mina ja Lõuna-Aafrika esindaja oleme viimasel kuul liighõivatud olnud ja pole jõudnud MAPile omapoolseid lugusid seekord valida, tuleb leppida sedapuhku vaid 33 looga, aga järgmisel kuul olema taas tagasi. Venetsueelal ja Norral on sellest kuust alates uued esindajablogid, visake silm peale. Ja kuna ma olen tõesti päris hõivatud olnud, on MAP seekord tõlkimata, harjutagem inglist. Ja nüüd kuulama.

SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Elektone - Falling Into You Memories fade in and out of reality when it comes to Elektone's dreamy brand of electro-pop. Started by Zulfadly Amin, a graduate of our National Arts Council's Noise Singapore initiative, he and his merry band capture love and light waves as pangs of desire wash over Singapore's bullet-speed society. Taking a moment to enjoy Elektone's music is almost like allowing yourself to fall [...]

Rökkurró is an Icelandic (how'd you guess??) quintet that sounds exactly like what you'd expect from the band name and the album art above. Which is a good thing. Their music is charming, graceful, and exquisite. The compositions buoy themselves to soaring levels, with the prettiest female vocals that side of the Atlantic (...it's just a saying guys - they'd be pretty anywhere!). I especially love the end of "Sólin mun skína", with the playful, resonant harmonies. Their sophomore album, Í Annan Heim (In Another World), was produced by Alex Somers, partner and music collaborator of [...]

Fyrsta , annan og þriðja hluta má nálgast með því að smella sér sem leið liggur í gegnum viðeigandi tengla. Munið að deila dýrðinni með vinum og vandamönnum!

Check this out! It's a wonderful band from Iceland called Rökkurró . I just bought their lovely album "Thad kolnar i kvold...", and I only understand parts of the lyrics, but the music is so wonderful that it's just nice to imagine what the songs are about. The album is out on 12tonar, and you can buy it through their webshop . Enjoy!
