Stary Olsa
Belarusian band Stary Olsa does covers of rock songs using Medieval instruments, and they are kind of awesome. The video below is their cover of Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall,” and Open Culture has a collection of other videos by the group.
They’re currently running a Kickstarter for an album of Medieval covers (entitled, delightfully, “Old Time Rock n Roll”) which would include songs by Metallica, Pink Floyd, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beatles, Deep Purple, and Nirvana.
Some of their past albums are available on Amazon and iTunes, including the intriguing-looking Drygula and Totentanz.
