[ANJEE<3]

this is just a thread to introduce others who are interested in learning about other talented singers from the other parts of the world.. they don't have to sing in english... as long as they have talent XD


oooh!! also post how you found out about them and what songs you recommend



hmm.. well i'll start by introducing


RAJATON (pronounced "rye - ah - ton")


they are an AWESOME FINNISH A CAPELLA group.. their vocals make me want to die.. haha


especially in the song BUTTERFLY... BEAUTIFUL!


also i recommend their songs.. Un-Wishing Well and Lady Madonna... different from Butterfly which is more of a smooth ballad where as the other two are up beat and full of.. i guess you would call it scat... haha XD


i found about Rajaton through my choir teacher at school.. because she played one of their cds during my Vocal Jazz class for warm up and we all fell inlove with Butterfly... haha so in the end.. we worked our asses off and managed to learn it ... course we're no where near as good as them.. but i think we're okay... haha most of the times

it's a freakishly hard song to learn especially since we're not pros... it's like a... 8 part song... mostly 6 part but splits to like 8 in the end.. beautiful song though... XD


i can't post up their songs... but if you search up rajaton on windows media... you will get to see them perform Lady Madonna and hear them perform Buttterfly


i will try to upload it on youtube for all... that perf of lady madonna XD => http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-QFQ_x0EpM



their official site: http://www.rajaton.org/main.site?action=si...e/view&id=2



i'm also really excited because they will be coming to vancouver this early aug to perform... i can't wait to watch them live XD

In Asia, Philippines to be precise. There are alot of talented singers and bands.

-Rivermaya: I recommend their songs You'll Be Safe Here, Liwanag Sa Dilim and 214.
-Bamboo: You gotta hear Mr. Clay and Hallelujah.
-Regine Velasquez: Any song by her, she has amazing vocals.
-Sarah Geronimo: A very talented young girl who started at the age of 15, she sounds a lot like Celine Dion.
