Violin strings meet Hiphop
Friday, May 8th, 2009
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!
