Great Instrumental Bands and Music

"If a painting is worth a thousand words; then music is worth a thousand paintings." -Unknown

     With a lot of rap and hip-hop songs coming out lately and the popularity growing, a lot of instrumental bands and music have been put underground or are not as popular as main stream. I have a list of songs and bands that you should check out if you are a true music lover looking for something to listen to rather then rap. I’ll give a two music videos of each band I list.

      Macondo Quartet is a great band that has some pretty sick Jazz tunes. They haven't reached world fame statues yet but at the pace they’re going at right now; they’ll be a top musician band in no time. Their first CD release was really good and really got me interested in Jazz music. If you are a lover of Jazz, you should certainly check this group out.

     Emancipator, is one of the most amazing bands I have ever listened to. If you don’t already know about him, he is a very good electronic producer. His music is really calming and can be listened to almost anything you’re doing. Whether it’s reading a good book, meditating, or about to take nap, Emancipator is a great band to listen to.

     Nujabes is another one of my favorites. He is one of the people many instrumental bands look up to, including Emancipator. Unfortunately though, he passed away in a car crash. However, his legacy will live on in music lovers and all the bands from HydeoutProductions. If you are a fond lover of instrumental music, especially Jazz, RnB or just plain instrument and haven’t heard about Nujabes, then you should check him out. Nujabes’s music really has the power to relax you.

     Helios is another amazing band. Helios music is really unique because when you listen to them, it can really put you in a position where you aren’t thinking about anything but the music. On top of that, if you and your significant other aren’t doing anything; Helios’s music can be played in the background and you two will have a great time, whether it’s cuddling, slow dancing or just looking into each other's eyes.

     Bonobo has a very mixed variety of music and that is one of their strong points. If you haven’t heard of them before you should really check them out. They have a spendid mix in jazz, soul, RnB, and other.

     There are many MANY other instrumental bands out there that are popular but aren’t mainstream, and a lot of them are really amazing tunes and rhythm. So if you have the time, research and listen to some of their songs and I promise that the majority of them will be great music.
