Inspiring World Videos

Cover Stories
Some great covers of records by other artists. Maybe you haven't heard of the band doing the cover. Maybe you haven't heard of the original either. Doesn't matter, they are still great videos.

Crowd-sourced performances
Flash mobs, karioke verite, or a choreographed performance. If people don't go to the gigs, take the gigs to the people... but before you try busking in Oxford, please remember the council has a no-fun policy.

Things that go bump in the night
If you have a passion for zombies, ghosts and ghouls, check out these world music videos. They are humorous, they are dark, they are brilliant.

A taste of Japan
Some of the great music from Japan which you'll most likely never hear of anywhere else, and sometimes quite unlike things you've seen anywhere else.

Protest Songs
Protest and individuality has always been a part of music, and these protest songs, some well known, some lesser so, are also great pieces of art in their own right.
