Music in Myanmar

11 06 2007

They love to cover western songs in the local language.

So far we have heard: Bon jovi, Coldplay, Savage Garden, Westlife, Korn.

And in other music news, Ronan Keeting of Boy band fame recently ‘toured’ Cambodia. his excuse for poor ticket sales was that locals thought he had ripped off the local artists tunes. not the other way around.

He did add that now that hes the first ’superstar’ to tour here in 30 years, it paves the way for other great acts :)

Marquito (São Paulo, Brazil) (08:42:55) :

that’s recurring in Brazil. Mainly at Nordeste, these brega bands (Calcinha Preta, Calypso, Saia Rodada) have a particular taste for 80’s soft flashbacks. “Brega” means literally “Kitsch” (!)
And the nordestinos are the only that can dance because it’s insanely fast-paced…

good luck there!
