Very interesting and eclectic mix of artists and styles mentioned.

I must, no really must, insist you check out Fela Kuti.

Two songs that offer a glimpse of what Fela and Afrobeat are all about:

In a similar vein check out Harptallica, Metallica done on harps. I saw them play live in Swindon (of all places!) and I was blown away! I think it is a testiment to how good Metallicas songs are that they transcribe well to orchestral instruments.

As good as Apocalyptica's Metallica covers were, their best music is their more recent, original material. They are waay more than a Metallica cover band!

I enjoy many different genres of music; here is one song in particular that never fails to pick me up if I'm feeling a little down.

As good as Apocalyptica's Metallica covers were, their best music is their more recent, original material.

To be honest havent listened to any of their originals, only the covers. I will check out their later releases!
