Why Is The British Council Promoting Indie Music?

I have to admit something, I was not one of those kids who grew up talking about the British Council, most of my friends talked it up so much. Since I was interested in English, I never gravitated toward that institution. I must say, everyone who went there spoke highly of it. I just did not care for the attitude of people who have attended classes there and socialized in the various clubs over there.

Now, I see a concert video, the entire concert video is in the video below. For an indie band from the heart of Egypt, the guys who rock and roll, Masar Egbary The band is sporting a unified scarf theme.

 The video below reveals the artsy side of this popular band, the prelude to their concert starts with a play, a dialogue with loaded meaning that will sure please the college crowds who always want to be one inch closer to sophistication. I like the slides accompanying the performance.

Lindsey Stirling Re-imagines Phantom of the Opera

I have never been a big fan of operas, but there is one that everyone was talking about, the Phantom of the Opera which was later made into a movie, but that was not enough to convince me to buy into it. A little clip on YouTube has manged to do the trick.

The lady behind it is a 25 years old Lindsey Stirling who has attended BYU, the same school that I happen to also hold a degree from. She makes it a lot more fun, exciting and whole new level of spunky. The customs, and the cinematography are captivating. Lindsey is a violinist who rocks out, she makes this art form accessible to so many of us without tarnishing this classical instrument.

I love the bits and the concert scene, Lindsey looks very comfortable performing this song in a number of settings. I cannot wait to see and hear more of Lindsey Stirling who is promising an album in September of this year.
