Foreign Music

Post by Dreams »

Does anyone else enjoy music outside of their native tongue? Let's share.
(And let's refrain from mentioning J-pop/rock, since there's a separate forum for that.)

Some of my recommended favs:
Blümchen (German)
Deep Forest (many different languages)
Тату (Russian)
Vanilla Ninja (predominantly English, but some great Estonian tracks)
O-Zone (Romanian)
L-5 (French)
Värttinä (Finnish)
Tarkan (Turkish)
Tatyana Bulanova (Russian)
Azam Ali (Persian)
Sarah Brightman (can't resist mentioning her, she sings popera in many languages)

Does the Rhythm of the Pride Lands soundtrack with all its Swahili count?

Oh, and a shoutout for Qkumba Zoo/QZoo and Cocteau Twins. Even though the music's in English, it's some awesome stuff from South Africa and Scotland, respectively.

Most heavy metal bands I listen to are foreign

Necrophagist (Germany)
Rammstein (Germany)
Opeth (Sweden)
Boris (Japan)
Sodom (Germany)
Bathory (Sweden)

And if other English-speaking countries like the UK, Australia, and Canada count, then there's a whole bunch more

hahaha

This all depends on your perception of what you believe is foreign. Other Europen bands, do not seem that far removed from other UK bands to me.

Yeah, there'd have to be something wrong with you to like Rammstein :)
