Music in foreign languages

How many of you listen to music in foreign languages? Do you find yourself listening to once kind of genre in that language? State what language, genre, and your favorite band/artist and song of that language, and why you love them. Also, make links if you can. Aside from natural curiosity, I would actually like everyone to be exposed to other kinds of music and broaden their horizons if possible. Comment on other people's tastes, but respect the TOU.

Right now, I am loving French music. I can't define what genre this might be, but I love this song because it sounds so elegant.

Heres the link and artist name: Au Port - Camille

i listen to Chamorrojrnhanie0310

Really? That's interesting...I've never heard of music from Guamese culture. Is there any samples you can provide?

English is a foreign language to me... so pretty much all. But if you want Portuguese music, i suggest you listen to this. Video is pretty lame, though. It's the thing I'm proudest of Portuguese music.

If you're wondering, it's played with a Portuguese Guitar, which contains 12 cords. Pretty awesome. :)

i listen to one punjabi (some indian language)song.... and i used to listen to japanese.... but now its all english (+ the one indian one...)fmacraze

Is Akh Mastani punjabi? Because I heard it and loved it.

yeah but i don't know what they're saying

I didn't like the first ten seconds because it sounded kind of random but after listening to it, I really really like it and I can see the kind of talent this man has had. That is some...hauntingly romantic music. Thanks for the link. :D

Well Im Polish so anything in english is foreign to me=P So there are alot of bands I listen to in English ofcourse Lamb of God, Nevermore, Sepultura, Machine Head, SOAD/ Serj Tankian and many more. Some Spanish stuff most notably Mago De Oz. Alot of Finnish and Norwegian bands a couple would be Korpkilaani, Finntroll. Japanese the legendary X-Japan. rzepak

Only person I know who likes them other than me.

I like brazilian Portuguese ...bands like CSS(cansei de ser sexy) and bonde de role and many other bands like sigur ros, and im getting into jpoplugiemojeed

Yes, CSS are very good. But, what could they be, when they are named "I'm tired of being sexy". Best name ever.

No problem. 8)

The man is actually nicknamed "The man with a thousand fingers", and he was the best of the best. The man played 12 cord guitars, better than most with electrical ones.

And the purpose of most of the musics from his genre (it's called "fado", which means destiny) is to be sad. Very sad.

My favorite song now is Angel (Once In Your Lifetime) by Belinda.

I like to listen to music in Japanese, French, German, Korean, & Italian.
Japanese: Rock, Metal, Pop, Techno

Well, unfortunately, music like this is really hard to find... even in Portugal. You can always find "fado", but not like this. This almost has it's own style. Sorry.

But if you want, you can google "Carlos Paredes" for yourself.

I love Rammstein songs as long as something sound great I dont care about the lenguage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SoW5-tLe-U
