i am japanese if you don't please....



Flower Travellin' Band are an influential Japanese Hard Rock band that was first active in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The band was initially organised as "The Flowers," a cover band. Their first album consisted of covers of Western pop songs. It got most of its attention from the fact that all of the band members appeared nude on the cover, which was considered scandalous at the time. 

Check out the footage! AMAZING! and hear black sabbath cover

Tinariwen is a Tuareg group that performs in a Middle Eastern/African style . The group's name, means "empty places" . The band formed in the rebel camps of Colonel Ghadaffi, as each of the musicians had been forced from their nomadic lifestyle into involuntary military service.  Tinariwen forged a new style of music, trading their traditional lutes and shepherd's flutes for electric guitars and drums. The style that resulted was dubbed Tishoumaren, "the music of the unemployed."
