That Dragoesta song is the one with the numanuma video with it? With the infamous Gary?

..and reading the news today, it appears their new one will be in back in icelandic. have all their records and seen them once (very very loud), great band.

taraf de haidouks are a decent romanian folk outfit. avarus, a good finnish "free" folk and noise collective. beautifully-voiced 'lau nau' would be included in their orbit i'd say, she also a finn. circle are another finnish band that do repetitious rock, lots of growling finnery there too. ghedalia tazartes is a crazy frenchman. keiji haino a crazy jap. not sure if the latter sings in his native tongue..

Ideal song for a pub really... I picture a Bavarian pub where everyone sings along with the chorus while raising the pints in the air

Ah! Brings back fond drunken memories of that beerhall in Munich in March!!

MC Solaar
Rodrigo y Gabriela - granted they don't really have any lyrics but their native language isn't English
The soundtrack to City of God is class
Buena Vista Social Club
Daft Punk, Air and Royksopp are poplular too, but then again their lyrics tend to be in English.
Yann Tiersen is class, he's played in Ireland before, did the soundtrack for "Amelie."
Aldebert are good too.
Sportfreund Schiller had a class song on the Fifa2003 soundtrack I think, or maybe it was Fifa2002.

you like s. gainsbourg? that concept album (girl's name) - i forget what it's called. something nelson, master album, must pick it up.

I also like a little ditty called "Claudia" by Die Artzen I think is the name of the band. About a woman with a distinct fondness for horses...

**CollegeTillIDie** · 20/07/2005, 7:37 PM

Lenka Filipova is a Czech female artist that I have grown to like on my visits there. You can hear snatches of her most recent album on www.lenkafilipova.cz and that is the one where she is in the White Leather outfit with the guitar over her shoulder.

I recommend track 1, the name escapes me now, and track 7, Mlyny Melou I think is how it is spelt.

Here is the website of the band from Mexico I was talking about, Mana. Really great, easy-listening music. If you want to unwind, relax etc it is perfect.

Check out prob their best song, so famous in Mexico, Vivir Sin Aire, in the album ; grandes mana.

Ever hear the original versions of two songs which were hits in English by Laura Branigan?

I refer to "Gloria" by Umberto Tozzi and " Self Control" by RAF.. two Italian classics... also " Dove C'e Musica" by Eros Ramozetti.. is not bad. My local ristorante plays the Live Version regularly.

One of the most notorious black-metal bands on earth comes from Mexico: Brujeria. Has a whole legend behind them as they are believed to be involved in drug traffic and satanic rituals... Classic for a black-metal band, so classic that it becomes unoriginal

But must give them credit: never ever sounded Spanish so agressive.

**Gerrit** · 25/07/2005, 4:23 PM

The ones here that like Cel-tic music may like this one: Manau. They bring "Cel-tic rap" in French. Rap music with violins, harps, bagpipes... They scored a massive hit around Europe with "La Tribu de Dana". Their best song IMO is "Mais qui est la belette ?" based on a medieval story. Their album "Panique celtique" sold quite much.

The band Dan Ar Braz & L'Heritage des Celtes brings folk sung in the Breton dialect (Breton = North France). Sounds a bit like Irish or Scottish folk, but in a different ancient language.
