As you have noticed I stopped with my "International Music Journey" on my blog already after two "stops". I realized that the frequency of posting was too high to maintain a high quality of music. So I kept myself quiet for around a month and now I'm back with only the best (or most special) music from all over the world.
Zara Larsson - Uncover (Sweden)
We start off in Sweden with a young girl named Zara Larsson. Little miss Larsson was born on 16 December 1997 (man, I'm getting old) so she's only 15 years of age, but she already has the voice of an experienced pop artist. Just 3 months after she posted her first music video called "Uncover" on YouTube it has already been watched more than 3 million times by people from all over the world. And when I'm listening to her music I'm not wondering IF she will become an international superstar but only WHEN she will become an international superstar.
Just remember where you heard about her for the first time. :)
Nikki Ponte - Remembering The Summer Nights (Greece)
Since the weather is still so horribly cold this Easter-weekend I thought that you all could use some warmth in your life right now. And what better way is there to do that than to think back about a hot summer night with a happy party song on the background? Enjoy!

The Young Professionals (TYP) - Be With You Tonight (Israel)
Usually I'm not really into electronic music. I'm able to count the exceptions on this rule on one hand. One of those exceptions is the band TYP from Tel Aviv. The band focuses on a target audience of young urban professionals (what's in a name), who go to work in suits by day and head to the hippest clubs at night.
Besides music, both members of this electronic pop duo are very much into fashion and design as well, as can be seen in their music video.

NRG - Mayday (South Africa)
If you are a big fan of boybands, then continue reading. I now present you with South African boyband NRG. If I understood my sources correctly this band was created after a television show in which several men were put together in one house to form a successful band together. According to their own website, NRG is as commercial as Westlife and as revolutionary as the Beatles were. To me they're just another typical boyband, but nonetheless this song is pretty good.
Bonus track: Jgufi Bani ft. Sopho Toroshelidze - Me Miyvars Racha (Georgia)If you are a big fan of boybands, then continue reading. I now present you with South African boyband NRG.

This next song may not be the best song you have ever heard, but the video is certainly worth watching. I have absolutely no idea what these people are singing about, but this song is a musical masterpiece. It starts off as a pop song, then switches to folk-dance and then changes genre pretty much every 30 seconds. And if you don't enjoy the music, just switch off sound and just enjoy the folk-dancing and the traditional outfits the people are wearing. If you make it to the end of the video, you will be rewarded by some fantastic video footage of the beautiful landscapes of the Caucasus.
Gosh, this last video really made me want to travel again. In my next post I will write about my travel plans for the spring of 2013.
