I realized the other day that I have albums from almost 100 countries and this got me interested in looking at what countries I have missing. And it has sort of given me the incentive of wanting at least one album/cd of every country in the world. Especially as I am always interested in how other countries have interpreted and incorporated the Western worlds music into their countries heritage and sound, and in their language. Searching at Prog Archives is pretty easy and you can get your list of all countries that are already there. This post however is for countries that are currently not represented. Prog Archives does have a great search function where you get all the countries artists listed.  So this is great to search and find albums from countries you have missing. But also you can identify countries that are still missing a progressive rock entry. Anyway this got me curious about the missing countries and wanting to see if they have anything that could be progressive. So I started searching. Not sure if that has been done recently. If so then I apologize for the post. By comparing with Wiki countries I just started with A. Afghanistan I could not find anything really that sound like prog potential for Afghanistan but I did find one Band that has a bit of 90s rock sound. Kabul Dreams Well, not enough for me to want to buy. Will have to wait a few years more and see what turns up unless someone has a recommendation for Afghanistan? Albania Searching Albania today I found a couple of Artists that I thought sounded good: Troja Prog Metal maybe... I would definitely like to hear more. Jericho Sounds to me like a Balkan sound with Coldplay influence. Nice trumpet finish. Their songs definitely have a story to tell from the ones I listened to. Blla Blla Blla Well that was different. Qelbanix Bit of Eclectic Jazz/Fusion going on here. Well I could definitely find something in Albania to add to country collection. Algeria Djezma Definitely Santana influenced. Some good guitar play really. Dzair Now this one would buy if i can find it. No question about this one being progressive rock. Anyway this is as far as I got this afternoon. Please if you want to add artists you know from countries that are not listed in Prog Archives then please do. Nick |
