Your Favourite music in languages other than English.

Thought I would start this thread in hope of getting some interesting responces.I think its crazy how little music is listened to in ireland( and i suppose most english speaking countries) in langauges other than english, the only band or artist listened to with a large following I can think of is rammstein, the german metal band. I know obviously the usa and the uk are the biggest producers of music so we need not really look further but sure theres some great music out there.

well so heres a few tunes I'm listening to at the moment to start this off.

Swedish soul/pop singer veronica maggio

Veronica Maggio - Måndagsbarn

Os Mutantes are a brilliant band from Brazil. I can't rave about them enough. I guess they'd be the Brazilian equivalent of the Beatles. Their stuff is just amazing.

There's loads of other great Brazilian music out there. It's well worth looking into.

The only other foreign language albums I have are by a Spanish band called Ska-P. There lyrcs are a mix of politics and football. They're great.

One of the best bands from Norway. Singing with a norwegian dialect from western Norway. There are english subtitles if you watch it on youtube, just press CC.

Hello everyone,

this is a great topic!

I am crazy about Russian music. I adore russian language, it is rich and really beautiful..

I adore the music and lyrics of Bиктор Цой (R.I.P) (Kino).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy_t3XkMfxY

listen to one Tsoy's song and you'll ask for more

He was truly genious.

You should also check out 5'nizza. These are funny guys that always lifts my mood up, but here i advise you to listen to their song "Vesna" (Spring)

Enjoy listening!
