Music from Italia – Gianna Nannini

Yeah! This morning I was listening to the radio and found this song again. When I was younger I often listened this on a cassette full of italian music. So, Gianna Nannini was born in 1954 and is best known for her pop and rock music. Listen to her amazing song “Bello e impossibile”:

Music from Brazil – Este Silêncio

This song is really stunning awesome. It’s called “Milagre” and seems to be as soft as you could imagine hearing a ‘Milagre’ in the portuguese language. The band is called Este Silêncio and is known for post-rock and ambient music.

Enjoy it :)

Music from Lebanon – Fasateen

From their Facebook Page : Born of a nocturnal encounter at the American University of Beirut in 2008, Mashrou’ Leila is a six-member band that fuses the craftiness of a music workshop with the punch of stadium rock. With their distinct approach to storytelling and orchestration, they have crafted some of the most melancholic ballads and raucous anthems in contemporary alternative Arabic music, and went on to perform them live at sold-out venues in Lebanon, Cairo, Amman, Istanbul, Dubai, Tunis, Paris, Amsterdam, Montreal, Geneva, Serbia and international festivals such as Byblos, Baalbeck, BabelMed, Paleo and Exit.

Their eponymous debut album and the 7al Romacy EP unfold like cinematographic fictions starring lovesick characters in desolate motels or wandering insomniacs in ghostly cities. At times quirky and playful, at others bitter and somber, the songs demonstrate the band’s great versatility in dealing with musical form, narrative, and social issues.

Their third album, recorded at Hotel2Tango Studios in Montreal will be released in 2013.

Here is their song – Mashrou Leila
