There is some very interesting lesser known genres of music out there. So limited to small geographical regions while others are born in online communities.

Post a track or two from a random genre.

I'll start with this Cameroon tune. Apparently it's called Baka after the people who produce it.

Picking metal is probably too easy because it seems to be nothing but subgenres. I picked out this one because my brother in law was in the band. Gaelic doom metal.

Loosely described as Dubstep. I say that because Dubstep has splintered into several sub genres by now.
