Songs in a Different Language Thread

Post by Mr nice »

This thread is your chance to share and discover songs that are not sung in English. There are posters from all over the world on here and it would be interesting to find songs and artists from your country that are great but not well known. I have an interest in Welsh music and bands from South America, here are a few of my favourite non-English songs.....

Swnami - Mynd a Dodd


Buena Vista Social Club - Chan Chan


Bomba Estereo - Feelin'


Super Furry Animals - Dacw Hi


Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla


So, what are your favourite non-English songs?

I used to love french rap...don't listen to it much now but this track by Shurikn was always one of my favourites.


I know Morricone is well known but this is fantastic.


Icelandic punk from the classic documentary 'Rock In Reikjavik'.


Classic old school danish punk.
