Asia is more than just Korea, Japan, and China. I'm interested in expanding my "library" on songs and artists from Central Asia. To give you an idea, it's Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, but can include sometimes Mongolia, Afghanistan, and parts of Siberia in Russia (Wikipedia can help)
Edit 31/08/14: Also looking for music from Caucasus region.It's easier to include them here than starting another thread.
I haven't listened to Central Asian music very much, mainly because a lot of it is difficult to find, but I love all of these songs you've posted, Queen!
This thread made me realise of stuck I became to Balkan music, so I went back on the hunt again, searching the dark depths of poorly tagged youtube videos, hoping to find more amazing things. The search is difficult like I said, but I did manage to find one amazing gem,
Kyrgyzstan
Ajderim Rasul Kyzy - Kajrylbajm (Currently hooked on this song.)
Maybe this tune might be familiar to you?
Unable to identify Vimeo video URL.
I remember when this song came out, it's another one of Costi's totally unique projects.
The original song he produced it for Preslava, called Razkrii Me, however I love Shahzoda, and this cover is better than the original.
Not necessarily Central Asian, but people tend to exclude India as a part of Asia which I think is absurd. I have a friend who goes to an Indian dance school, and she'd sometimes hook me up with catchy songs she's heard, so here's a bit of Bollywood.
Most Bollywood songs are obviously not sung by the actors. The female vocals are usually done by one woman by the name of Sunidhi Chauhan. So yes, that means she's done hundreds-- maybe even thousands of songs for movies over the last two decades. Maybe even longer than that. So here are song names with the movies they're from.
