Special: Wraygunn

I’m back to posting here because I recently found a not so recent portuguese band (10 years now!).  I was so moved by their music that I couldn’t let it pass, so here they are, Wraygunn:

Now, a one-hit portuguese female artist, that became one of the best known news pivot in Portugal. Manuela Moura Guedes in Foram Cardos, Foram Prosas:

Now a german band, Nena, with its biggest international hit, 99 Luft Balons:

Finally, a band that was my 9th grade english teacher’s favourite, at the time, but that never achieved real success. I always wondered why — I thought they had some very nice and simple pop songs. When I first saw their videos, on YouTube, while researching for this blog, I finally got it: they had a strange and geek look, that would never appeal to the teenagers of the late seventies. You know, video did kill the radio star

New Musik in Sanctuary, This World Of Water, Straight Lines and Living By Numbers.
