I believe that I have found a group whose raw energy pulses through the musicians, their music, and on out to the listeners, in a manner equal to The Who. In order to comprehend the magnitude of my statement, you need to know that I have been a loyal fan of The Who since the late 1960's ... when I was in public school. These videos of the group Clanadonia have me wanting to get up and dance -- a rarity, I assure you.
The first one is called Egyptian. It has pictures of members of the group, as opposed to footage of their performance. That's okay, though.

This one was taken by a tourist who happened across the group on one of their street performances.

Ya Bassa is a long video -- almost nine minutes -- but I think it's worth watching, if only to see how they work with the crowd. It was taped at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

And, last that I will list here (for now), is one with only a single image, but well worth it -- Tyler's Lament.
