It’s not so much a genre but an instrument - the handpan is a beautiful and soothing instrument and you can find it in tandem with all kinds of other instruments. My favorite combo so far is handpan, bansuri flute, and acoustic guitar as presented by these fine gentlemen.

I’d also highly recommend checking out Malte Marten and his handpan duo Yatao for some ultra chill vibes.

Not a genre exactly but: Japan.

Japan has the 3rd largest music industry on the planet that everyone except the west knows about. Almost doesn't matter what style you like, Japan has dozens of bands that are probably as good (if not better) as your favorite band. You like punk, indie, grunge, shoegazing, metal or just straight up rock? Japan has amazing groups you've never heard of.

To illustrate, here's a Japanese Irish pub band.

In high school my friend was given the assignment to do a booth on German culture during a multicultural fair. He forgot to do it so at the last minute he just put a package of frozen bratwurst on a table and played this song on a loop.
