Recently I heard a song of the band Black Violin in the radio. I was impressed how nice the combination of violin music and hiphop sounds.  Afterwards I went to last.fm and searched for similar artists. I discovered some more.

Miri Ben-Ari is one of the related artists. She is a Israelic violinist and recorded many tracks with famous musician like Kayne West, Akon or Lil’ Flip.

Another fantastic band I found during the “violin-hiphop research” is Nuttin’ But Stringz. They produce a Kind of R&B sound that is really relaxing.

There you go with some of my favourites:

• Black Violin ft. DMX – I’m a Ryder
• Miri Ben-Ari ft. Scareface – Sunshine to the rain
• Nuttin but Stringz – Thunder

Now enjoy the sound!

Today I discovered through facebook an imho great music group called «Band of Horses». Someone posted a video with a dude (Danny MacAskill)  doing some incredible tricks on his bike. Background music of the clip is the mentioned band with the track «The Funeral». I can also recommend you the track «The Great Salt Lake». Decide yourself…
