Foreign Language Music...

[piglet28266]

Would you ever listen a song in a language that you didn't understand a single word?
I myself actually do, a like a few french and spanish songs and I don't know if Sigur Ros count...anw in this poll they do!

 

[anonymis]

Beloslava. Iskam Teb is one of the hottest songs ever, and the only thing I know is that it means "I want you".

Also, Elis Regina has brilliant music.

 

[Rodrick Peterson]

Volta doesn't really count, only some of their lyrics are in spanish, however you could argue that the english they use is so mangled that it's a language in itself.

 

[Ove]

I do because I listen to Japanese artist like Gackt and Miyavi. I am starting to learn their language though so I know what they are singing about.

 

[TexasGirl15]

Cesaria Evora, Sigur Ros, Manu Chao, Malajube...not much. I'm not sure if the sparsity of quality acts in languages other than English is the result of lack of exposure or if there really aren't that many quality banRAB out there that don't fall under the "World music" label...

I've downloaded some Mexican indie pop yesterday, I'll give it a go...:\

 

[Regna Storma]

I already listen to some, mostly Spanish and Japanese I think. Oh, and some Italian.

 

[Molly-Rose]

Mekio Kaji, Tujiko Noriko, Alcest, Eisbrecher, Enslaved etc.

 

[Broken Hearted girl </3]

Yes, i do alot.

One i really like is Outlandish

 

[Bubbly ♥]

Being norwegian there's not many languages I don't understand that i would listen to however most black metal is impossibe to understand anywas.

 

[italian_singer_1989]

Yep, apart from all the metal in various Scandinavian languages, Boris and TTC come to mind.

 

[dancer4everxox]

I listen to Korean, Japanese, Ukrainian, Icelandic, and Italian music (I understand about half the Italian though)

I listen to a decent amount of French and Japanese banRAB, a band who sings in Spanish and one in Russian. I'm pretty sure all the Scandinavian music I have, the lyrics are English.

 

[shugasheila]

Most of the music with foreign lyrics that I listen to is indecipherable to anyone regardless of mother tongue. I have no problem with foreign lyrics... Bjork instantly comes to mind. Then of course, there's Magma who invented their own language.

 

[meggsface]

I guess I do with Devendra.

 

[First on the way!]

anybody listens to any greek artists?
I would recommend alkinoos ioannidis, christos thivaios,trypes,diafana krina and endelexeia.
look them up in youtube.greek rock is actually pretty unique in a very strange way.

 

[dirtysanchez]

I do with Rammstein.....I heard one of their albums was the first full german albums to go platinum stateside

 

[Forever under 5 ft]

i like Korean, Japanese and Filipino songs. they're full of feelings =)

 

[Marin3 muscl3]

bjork and The Mars Volta comes to mind.

 

[Brenda B]

I listen to French and Chinese since I'm learning both languages. Have you noticed that it's so much easier to sing in a foreign language than to speak it? Weird...

 

[JordanChandlerindependent]

I find it that you dodn't need to understant something to sing it
