Music that you love, that isn't in english....

[Thor]

Got to thinking about this the other day, CP has members from all over the world and one thing that I´ve been big on since childhood was music from other nations.

Share your favorites, old, new, cheesy, whatever. I love hearing whats popular in your nation :)

Going to work in a whole bunch of Icelandic ones, from new to old, starting with my favorite, he´s been called Icelands Bruce Springsteen.

Väikeste Lõõtspillide Ühing (Little Accordion Orchestra). Great "party band" and reminds me an awful lot of the East Coast stuff from Canada. Some of my fave memories of Estonia. They like to drink, and this is the perfect band for it.

Here's a dozen :)

First, just last night I saw these guys play live, and they were in as good a shape as ever I'd say. Legendary Finnish alternative rock.
uBJH2R8Ds94

Alternative / progressive rock from Finland. Song is about the fear of growing old and facing it with your loved one. Love the video.
hua3zrF4Kwo

This band was from Sweden. Still great stuff. Folk with an edge.
_5bW0OrEl7Q

Finland's #1 rapper IMO, also sampling folk music.
ihBkcLBSuEw

Someone posted Der Kommissar, which reminded me of these guys, who covered that song. Industrial metal.
kM6VyCwyntk

This guy is one of the most legendary Finnish artists. Still kicks ass. (Finns might be interested to hear this version, it adds some lyrics to this famous song.) Somewhat Tom Waits / Johnny Cash.
LjlhFySPScw

My favourite alternative pop artist. Song is about a firebomb in a supermarket and the resulting societal lockdown / NWO.
ejBwnSNRED8

An artist from the same label. Varies from low-key twisted first person stories from the dark side of the human mind. And then they can put out amazing rocking grooves. And sometimes it's both at the same time. One of the best live acts I've ever seen, and I've seen a few.
RTZ4Cn0gn6I

This guy managed to turn reggae Finnish, while staying true to his Finnish roots. Good stuff.
xxzjzHBZZok

This is my favourite rock lyricist. Classic Finnish rock / pop.
ZsTVIdmzmNQ

Legendary Finnish avant-garde / post-rock band. Often instrumental. (Video is unofficial.)
u0yXW4PhLhc

And here's the great, great flamenco artist Vicente Amigo. An amazing virtuoso and a true original. From Spain, unsurprisingly.

Ah Finland. There's a lot right in a country where there are several heavy metal bands meant for kids. :)

My 5 year old daughter likes the band below, and I don't mind at all.

These guys have the right attitude for this stuff too. In this song a kid tries to cheer up his dad with a big fart and when she's sent to bed without dinner, she starts complaining how her parents are never home and they always tell her to stop doing everything that's fun, so she never wants to be a "stupid adult" (which is the name of the song).

I find the lack of Romanian dance music in this thread disturbing.

Kent actually made some of their songs in English too, including that one.

They have a great sound and are huge in Sweden and pretty big in Finland. (Don't know about other places, I think that's about it.)

The lyrics lose some cool undertones in translation, but it's still good stuff.

*snnip* (was taking long to load on my own computer

And as a bonus, here's their biggest earworm in my experience ;)

I knew they did that song in English, I just enjoy the way it sounds in Swedish more-so. Haven't listened to them forever though.

[Itse]

Yeah they just sound better in Swedish. I understand Swedish somewhat, but since Swedish can be quite direcly translated into English (unlike Finnish), it's easier for me to listen to them in English if I want to understand what they are saying (as in when a song is new).

[Buzzard]

Awesome.

Haven't heard that last one in a couple decades! Good ol' song.

[Thor]

A few of the top hits now in Iceland, I wonder if I should give a posting of Eurovision from this year, there was actually a couple of decent songs.

Anyhow after the success of monsters and men now in NA, maybe these two are in contention.

First a metal band, mind you this is their ballad song.

Also a new hit here, I love this song, funky and original.

Wow, this apparently got into the top 5 most watched videos on YouTube this month. It's actually hilarious!

Korean pop is really growing worldwide and the country is really putting their efforts into promoting the country as a whole through these young stars.

Shoutout to KARA, my favourite Korean group right now.. how do you not love this? So infectious.

Everything in Korea is so hot right now. A 20-episode series called Ghost just finished tonight. Excellent cyber-crime drama.

It's funny though cause here in Canada we're so much more open to all different cultures and lifestyles. I read somewhere that 85% of Koreans are mostly focused on Korean music and culture etc... over here it is completely different!

The last drama I took in was Love Rain... men do cry I've discovered.;)

It's everywhere! The song has even featured in a couple of recent K-dramas too!

Listen to a lot of Exile's music. Started listening to it in Japan...and just continued when I came home.

While some of those Korean videos are great to watch on mute...here is some of the good stuff!!! ;)

Jesus. I don't think any song has ever been sung so enthusiastically by a crowd before lol.

Also, I think I may have developed a thing for korean girls after watching this... :bag:

[ClubFlames]

So many hot Korean girls. Damn.

The crowd was nuts!

Holy crap, so hot..

I think most K-pop is pretty bland, but I can't stop watching videos like SNSD because the girls are so hot. :bag:

The girl band stuff is pretty bland.. after awhile all the girl bands sound the same.

The boy bands are slightly better. Sure they are still manufactured but the songs are better and have more variety. The guys are more talented while the girls are just doing basic dance moves and showing off their legs.

The guys are good looking too but that wouldn't interest you guys :)

[Bertuzzied]

Cheapest plastic surgeons in the world does wonders! Just walk around the streets of Seoul. it's like everyone is a model or something. The funniest thing though is that when some of these hotties reproduce, their kids are not exactly cute... hehehehee

[The Yen Man]

I was never really into Kpop, but I must admit I'm becoming a bit of a Psy fan. The guy's energy is infectious. He has such epic concerts. His other songs are actually not bad either.
