MELO-M modern cello band, which was founded in 2005 and the name of the band carries the love or even obsession with the music, because MELO-M is the short form of the Latin word melomania. The band performs in a ”classical-crossover” style, using only cellos and drums in pop and rock compositions. In this music genre mainly act musicians with academic education, combining academic base or a sound of some instrument with the elements of pop, rock or even folk music.

Here is two pop classic by the wild cellists. The video is the Daddy Cool features the amazing Maizie Williams of the Boney M. and in the second the Melo-M play the Final Countdown with the Symphonic Orchestra of Liepaja. Possibly this is the best Final Countdown cover since the Laibach.

When played by cello trio these very different music styles obtain new colors and never heard shades that are gorgeously supplemented with eye-catching performance and incomparable charm of cellists themselves.
