During one brief period, I got several CDs for review that all seemed to center on the Berlin clubs. One of the most notable was The Best Of Corvus Corax. They started off as an East Berliner street band, drawing their music from medieval sources -- nine men, six on bagpipes, three on drums. This is what they're like in concert:
The album itself is quite engaging. One of these days I'll start poking around to see if there's more available from them -- at the time, "Best of" was the only CD released in the States.
And if you go to YouTube, the comments are from all over the world -- in German, of course, but also greetings from Japan, Serbia, some in what appears to be Portuguese, Spanish, even Irish. They obviously have international appeal.
