I typed a lot under the YouTube video, mostly about the name "The Rube".
I see fandago1 as having problems with English, if he can say
"they're an alternative-folk rock band" and
"they blend the traditional sound with the modern rock tone".
That should be alternative folk-rock, but they're not even that.
Folk right away means using acoustic instruments,
and folk-rock is more about using electronics to be louder for bigger stages.
The Rube has a slight r'n'b groove, and the guitarist is using a Stratocaster,
what can only be called an electric guitar, and an important modern instrument.
And the bassist, using a five string, isn't moving around like a folk musician.
I see fandago1 as saying traditional sound when he means singing in their cultural language,
and I only heard authentic cultural vocals as the very expressive and moving beginning,
before the beat starts and the band comes in.
fandago1 is right all the way about one thing, I really enjoyed them.
And fandago1, do you really mean "fandango", the proper spelling of the flamenco dance term?
I do some fandango, and flamenco moves, when I'm moving around with my guitar.
RondoMondo5! That's an interesting statement, saying a prominent pentatonic scale.
How would you feel, being raised in a culture with only a pentatonic scale,
and then hearing European twelve tone or Indian anywhere around 16 note scales?
If you put me in a rehearsal room with The Rube, I'd Stratify them and r'n'b them up,
and they'd come out as The Rubinis,
where they could use a big, red mirrored disco ball in the shape of a heart,
for their next international video.
