Chinese inspired music

[movie_watcher]

Anyone know of some good songs that have a chinese feel to them but aren't necessarily traditional chinese...maybe some hiphop, pop, rock, techno, classical, anything, that has an underlying Chinese feel to it?

I would definately check out movie soundtracks, you'd be amazed by what you find...

I know 'Memoirs of a Geisha' is Japanese, but there might be some of that "style" in the soundtrack somewhere...

well....this one isnt too 'Chinese'...its more 'Indian'...but i'll tell ya neways it's called "Indian Flute" by Timbaland & Magoo.

"Touch of my hand" - Britney Spears
"Dip it low" - Christina Milian (it sounds kinda chinese-ish in the beginning)

well its not THAT much 'Chinese' ...and idk if ur in2 pop-hiphop...neways there's this song by 3LW feat. Lil' Kim called "I Need That (I Want That)" ...idk, it has a Chinese-ish sounding beginning & sounds pretty good thru-out the rest of the song!

Kill Bill soundtrack???

Also, I just remembered Jay Chou - "Huo Yuan Chia (or Fearless)" <-- it's sung in Mandarin(?) I think, if that's OK. But it truly sounds Chinese, w/ traditional gongs & drum sounds, not just cuz the singer is Asian.
