Music in other languages

[Rusty Shackleford]

does anyone else seem to like music that is not in their native tongue?

i absolutely love it. i dont know what it is... i just love it.

its mostly old commie songs(for lack of a better way to say it). but then theres rock and all of that but seriously. its like i cant listen to certain genres in english.

[LOLseph Stalin]

I have music in many difference languages, but mind you I like to be diverse when it comes to music. I listen to songs in almost every single genre imaginable, including many of which aren't in English. I have Russian, Japanese, German, Hindi, Arabic, Spanish, French, the list goes on...

[RedAnarchist]

I haven't heard many non-political songs that weren't in English, but I find many languages to be musically beautiful. Anyone got any favourites in other languages?

[Comrade Gwydion]

Well, english is non-native for me ;)
Except for english.... Mostly German, and sometimes latin or Finnish slips in. Dutch is very rare.
I like to hear Spanish and Greek, but coïncidentally I have no music in that language.



Oh! Gealic (sp?)! Got some celtic songs, go figure. Actually, I think after english it's the most frequent language on my playlist :cool::blushing:

[Rusty Shackleford]

Swedish sounds great to me. Finntroll might be why i like it though.

I have heard some chinese pop/rap/r&b and it definitely sounds better sung than spoken. no offense to any chinese comrades.

[The Red Next Door]

i listen to music in German, French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Turkish, Polish, and other languages.

[DecDoom]

I have songs in Russian, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish, and others.

[Il Medico]

J'adore chansons francaises!

[KarlMarx1989]

Japanese is good. It's too bad that all those emo / scene kids took it all over with their anime obsession. :thumbdown:

[LeninBalls]

World music is my favourite. I have fields of albums of different cultures. My favourite is Arabic, Klezmer (Jewish) and Parisian café music. I can upload a lot, some, nothing if you want :)

[al8]

Klezmer? sounds interesting. Example?

I don't really like the poppy/modern stuff, but there's one or two good songs. But yeah, I have lots of albums in traditional style. Nour Eddine, Master Musicians of Jajouka, Houria Aichi, etc., YOU NAME IT I GOT IT

[ComradeMan]

There is a lot of music in Spanish that I like and can understand fairly well from Italian.

In Italian you could try the Italian-Neapolitan music of a group called 99 Posse. For example...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDgaQp5B4hA&feature=related


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8FgayonSGE&feature=related

I can't get embed to work.

It's a shame that Italian language music is not better known in the "outside" world... the words are quite poignant.

[Sam_b]

I don't mind what language music is in, as long as its good.

[Bandito]

Hah Hah! Some good songs, especially finnish ones, but it's not actually Oi!
Perkele is not Oi?
Elaborate.

[rednordman]

Finnish, Turkish and the rare language of Faroese, example:WlD32MyKwOMQuality!Good find.:D That video looks like its from 1987 or sometime like that. Thats a rare video.

[Bandito]

It just isn't.

Great elaboration.

[YeOldeCommuniste]

If you're trying to learn a foreign language, listening to music in that language is a great tool. It's helped me a lot in all of the languages I've learned/are learning.

One of my favorite singers is Edith Piaf, a French singer who was most popular back in the '40s and '50s. I also have a lot of other French stuff, along with some German, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Turkish, Armenian, Irish Gaelic, Polish... and I think that's it. I love foreign music. :D

[X-san]

Hi comrades

I trully like to listen to songs in other languages .
My native language is arabic , but i listen to songs in different other languages : English , french , spannish , kurdish , turkish , ...
Most of the music i listen to is politically " leftist " .

[The Ben G]

German industrial Metal is Great. Megaherz, Rammstein, Eichbrecher, ect.

[Lyev]

[human strike]

I listen to quite a lot. Mostly Spanish, Italian, German and Russian. I love the Modena City Ramblers.

[Black Sheep]

I hold the lyrics element in ultra high esteem,so i mostly listen to stuff i can understand, greek or english.

French female rapper, the one and only, Keny Arkana:The remix by methismena xotika, a greek punk rock / hip hop band, with extremely good lyrics,class oriented,anarchist and revolutionary.
Here's their website,all songs free to download of course. ;)

And a song about alexis and december 08

Greek hip hop these days seems to be a struggle between anti-establishment and 'classic' self-adoring US style gangsta rap.

No need to mention where i stand.:rolleyes:

[Y Chwyldro Comiwnyddol Cymraeg]

Some Welsh ska/funk stuff from a band called Derwyddon Dr Gonzo (they are great live)...

[Yazman]

Yeah I don't really care what language music is in to be honest. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter, music is music, and furthermore, if I don't understand it I can always look up translations on the net and that only increases my appreciation of it.

I particularly like NDM/modern german industrial music, like Rammstein/Eisbrecher/etc, but I also enjoy a lot of rap. I'm a big fan of MC Solaar (french rapper), as well as Drunken Tiger (korean rap group) and MC Sniper (korean rapper). I also like american latino hip hop, and some mexican rap is decent too. Spanish-language rap in general is good.

[Y Chwyldro Comiwnyddol Cymraeg]

Ahh MC Solar....one of his songs is great I think its Bouse De La or something like that

[Yazman]

Yeah also La Belle et La Bad Boy is good.

Another good french hip hop group is Manau

[NecroCommie]

Well, english is not my native language, but besides that:

Russian:

(by the way, why don't women dress like that anymore? I might be just nostalgic (about an era I did not live in), but those women look awesome :thumbup1:)

Latin:

Speaking of russian

i found these guys "Singing Guitars(Poyushiye Gitar[if i translated it right])" while listening to out locomotive, clicked on tachanka because i really liked the way the song went, and well, i found this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THvwWnzFZzY&feature=related
then this. for the most part, theyre just generic 60s sound but i like these 2 songs a lot

[I.Drink.Your.Milkshake]

I liked the Tinariwen album last year a lot but i find it hard to connect with songs when i dont know the lyrics - same reason i cant get into classical music, really. I can hear how fantastic it is but ultimately, to my uneducated ears, its just a bunch of noise. :confused:

[Black Sheep]

antifascist lullaby
lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yA5ad0B5Io

ONE SONG FOR THE NEO-NAZIS
Do neo-nazis have a soul, too?
Heart of stone, and dull-minded
..I can't tolerate that!
Smash their ribs
Cum on their brains
Beat a neo-nazi bastard, every single day

Don't think about it, at all
it's quite right to beat neonazis (it's actually fucking brilliant! :p)
and to rub their faces on the ground

You get a heart full of joy, when you hit nazis

[Ligeia]

Some Nueva Trova/Cancion is always nice.
This one is a concert which was held in Managua,....while there was a Contra invasion in Nicaragua,....it's got subtitles, so that you'll understand what they're saying or singing. Very intresting.
(Unfortunately, there are parts missing which I tried to add but they've got no subtitles....):

[Rusty Shackleford]

Throat singing has caught my interest a bit. at first it sounds a bit.. .well... odd but it grows.

[Stand Your Ground]

The only music I can think of that I listen to in other languages besides english are Razor Bois, What We Feel, Komintern 43, Los Fastidios, Moscow Death Brigade, and Sin Dios, they sing in mostly Russian and German I think.

[Sarah Palin]

I've been diggin Mad Decent's dutch antilles hood mix. It's in dutch.

Any baille funk is good. In portugese.
I also listened to some Mongolian rap. The flows were fre$h.
Latvian rap

[Kuppo Shakur]

Rammstein. The whole Reise, Reise Album was boss, and I am particularly fond of Haifisch, from their newest album. I even blast Stirb Nicht Vor Mir.:p

[Communist]

Iceland's Unun, something of a Sugarcubes spinoff (Bjork's Sugarcubes guitarist ex-husband Thor Eldon formed this group in the mid '90's and retained some elements of the 'Cubes sound).
