Ryoichiro and Kenichi are also known as innovators, pioneering an aggressive, almost electric guitar-esque playing style and adding dance beats, pop stylings and blues-rock elements to their recordings. The combination of innovation and tradition has garnered the Brothers an international reputation, as well as the deal that has arguably made them the most famous: In 2006, Nintendo began using their song "Kodo (Inside the Sun Remix)" for the popular commercials for their Wii gaming system. - Rachel Devitt]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7468550&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss World Pop Wed, 8 Jul 2009 13:08:45 -0700 Top Asia Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7468550 art.7468550 The Shanghai Restoration Project art.7468550 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7468550&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7468550&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss danceable mashup of hip-hop, electronic dance beats, and Chinese traditional and folk instrumentals and melodies that's inspired by (and sometimes samples) the East-meets-West Shanghai jazz bands of the 1930s.

The brain child of Chinese American producer Dave Liang, Shanghai Restoration Project has released three studio albums, two collections of their instrumental cuts, and a remix album since its inception in 2006. The group has also lent its remixing skills to several interesting projects, including a partnership with China Record Corporation (the Chinese government's label) formed to rework recordings of classic Chinese pop and jazz from 1930s Shanghai. Even if you don't regularly peruse China Records' catalogue, however, you have likely heard the Project's ambient, evocative work in commercials for Microsoft, Louis Vuitton and TiVo, among others. - Rachel Devitt]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3210&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss Asia Sun, 13 Dec 2009 10:14:07 -0800 Top Asia Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3210 art.3210 Huun-Huur-Tu art.3210 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3210&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3210&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10513327&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss Asia Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:07:23 -0800 Top Asia Artists on Rhapsody Online art.10513327 art.10513327 Teriyaki Boyz art.10513327 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10513327&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10513327&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.48845&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss Asia Sat, 26 Dec 2009 10:04:00 -0800 Top Asia Artists on Rhapsody Online art.48845 art.48845 Nawang Khechog art.48845 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.48845&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.48845&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7499863&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss Americana Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:40:39 -0800 Top Asia Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7499863 art.7499863 Abigail Washburn art.7499863 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7499863&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7499863&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss this American artist had to go to China to find her way to American roots. Washburn grew up singing in Illinois but never took music seriously until she took a trip to China in 1996 and fell in love with the country's music, culture, and language. The experience renewed her interest in American traditions, and she took up the banjo upon her return. Abandoning plans to move to China, she instead took up residence in Nashville. Washburn's resume includes stints with the Cleary Brothers and all-girl string band Uncle Earl, as well as extensive solo work. Her 2005 debut solo album, Song of the Traveling Daughter, featured Bela Fleck and Ryan Hole from Collective Soul. During this period, she also began writing songs in Chinese, and in 2008, she released an album with the Sparrow Quartet (a group that also features Fleck) that blends Asian and Western sounds. In 2009, she collaborated with the Shanghai Restoration Project to create Afterquake, a tribute to the victims of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. - Rachel Devitt]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4963144&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss Meditation Fri, 29 May 2009 09:35:56 -0700 Top Asia Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4963144 art.4963144 Temple Sounds art.4963144 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4963144&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4963144&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59380&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss Punk Fri, 18 Dec 2009 12:08:32 -0800 Top Asia Artists on Rhapsody Online art.59380 art.59380 Shonen Knife art.59380 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59380&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.59380&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8475&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss Japan Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:23:49 -0700 Top Asia Artists on Rhapsody Online art.8475 art.8475 Kodo art.8475 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8475&variant=play&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8475&variant=data&rws=%2Fworld-reggae%2Fasia%2Fartist-chart.rss Ibuki), and Thrash Metal heroes Sepultura.

Working with designer Jamie Hewlett (who did the illustrations for the Gorillaz), Chen and Albarn have staged an opera that calls on C-Pop and rock, classical music and Chinese opera equally. It also upends opera's stodgy staging -- the show boasts a cast of 60, most of whom are circus performers, contortionists and kung fu masters. Beautifully designed, it's elicited both rave reviews and a certain discomfort from opera purists. - Sarah Bardeen]]>

As a teenager he moved to the provincial capital, Urumqi, where his musical universe expanded as he was introduced to bands like Yes, Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Television. He began music school and promptly quit, teaching himself to play guitar using open tunings that mimic the sound of the dombra. In 2002 he moved to Beijing, where he founded the group IZ and basically created Beijing's alt-country scene single-handedly. Despite courting from major Chinese labels (all of whom wanted him to start singing in Chinese), Mamer has remained resolutely indie, gaining an increasing following without compromising his sound. In 2009 he released Eagle on Real World and quickly earned accolades for his intriguing mix of grasslands folk, indie rock and bluegrass, which the press has dubbed "Chinagrass." - Sarah Bardeen]]>
