Music In Foreign Language

[Benji]

Aside from the big names like Rammstein, is anyone into any bands that don't sing in english, I'm meaning more the primarilly english speaking countries. I don't know why but ever since hearing Shonen Knife I've got really quite into foreign bands. I don't really like all the songs being different language, which I guess is why I like SK, they provide me with cheesey music that's actually listenable.

So, yeah, I'm not sure where my point was but feel free to reply.

I've got some dutch and south african rap, which is quite good.

Wait, what? You want Bands that don't sing in English, that sing in English?

No, I'm saying I want bands that sing in foreign language, but do the occasional english song, so if I had a playlist it wouldn't all be me thinking 'what the fuck'

The Pixies had the occasional bit of Black Francis chanting in Spanish, didn't they?

Melissa Auf der Maur has a French language version of her song "Taste You" which is quite good.

MC Solaar, which is French rap, grew on me a lot during the French exchange I went on last year. I introduced the girl I was staying with to Nirvana in return, and we've both since invested in albums from each other's artist. Solaar is really good, actually, it's less about gangsta-rapping and stuff and more about the sound. It's quite jazzy in places.
