Shugo Tokumaru

Shugo Tokumaru is really incredible. There are not many people who are as consistently wildly original as he is.
He's a talented young Japanese musician who's fourth cd comes out in the US in February. You can preview it here, and you can watch an incredible performance of one of his new songs below.

First - this is one of the most beautiful music videos ever made...

And here is an INCREDIBLE new song (skip to about 1:25)..

Go learn Japanese and buy his CDs

Onda Vaga

Onda Vaga is an awesome band from Argentina.

They were featured on this great blog La Blogotheque in a Take Away Show, which is like these beautiful videos of musicians playing their songs as they wander around.

Check this one out..
