Do you listen to music in other languages?

Links234

Lot of music threads on AH lately, makes a seriously nice break from the usual threads! So I was curious, do you ever listen to music where the lyrics are in another language?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=berzo1ocFkQ

I do, constantly. I'd say most people would probably guess I'm a Rammstein fan from my username, I listen to them and some similar German bands. There's quite a few Scandinavian bands I listen to, Korpiklaani for example sing in Finnish. Or I dunno if anyone's noticed about here, I listen to a bit of Japanese metal :pac: Just a wee bit.

What about you AH?

German, French and Italian.

A lot of opera is written in those languages.

I like the Rubberbandits...

rainbow kirby

Rammstein, Equilibrium (German), Korpiklaani, Kotiteollisuus, Stam1na (all Finnish), some of Tyr's stuff (Faroese/old Norse), Dir en Grey (Japanese)...

Mint Sauce

Maybe just a bit of Rammstein or Sigur Ros as well. Some of our own recent singers and bands, such as The Coronas, Bell X1, Gemma Hayes, Damien Dempsey, and The Frames, have done pretty good versions of their songs in our native tongue.

There's some pretty dark stuff if you translate it.

I love Dir en Grey

The new album is just incredible, seriously seriously amazing music, and Kyo's vocals are just... wow. There's very few bands that seem to keep on getting better and better through their careers, and Dir en Grey is one of them.

Julieta Venegas
Kany Garcia

For me it's either Mongolian Throat Singing or nothing at all.

JackGM

Yep. Mika has some french stuff. Real good

MonkeyTennis

I like Cechomor from the Czech Republic

TheBeardedLady

Stuff in French, Spanish, Portuguese and Irish. Deadly song by Spanish musician El Guincho but vid is NSFW (boobs) and a bit hipstery.

Icelandic is a beautiful language to listen to while it's being sung:

And while I'm not a big Japanese music buff, and not a huge fan of Dir en Grey or anything, I love this song by them which is quite haunting:

denhaagenite

Stromae and Arsenik in French, Rammstein, Deichkind, Wolfsheim and other miscellaneous German and lots of miscellaneous Dutch. Stromae is an absolute favourite. Oh, and Sigur Ros of course!!

Los Lobos

Cypress Hill and Die Antwoord are the only two that straight away spring to mind

MRnotlob606

Russian World War II music is very powerful.

Forgot to mention these guys. Viewers of Le TDF might recognise it.

Obviously this one has English in it, but mostly perform in french.

Used to love this back in the day; not as "cool" as a lot of the other posts.

Boring username

I'm so cultured I only listen to songs that have three separate language verses-Wolof, French, and English [slowly sips martini] :P

I think it makes it better! Was explaining the lyrics of Rein Raus to a colleague the other day and he couldn't get over it. And that particular one is fairly tame when compared with others!

For example:

Absolutely

Genuinely up there as one of the best live performances I've seen when they played the O2 in 2013

I forgot about these guys. Japanese metal until it gets to the 2:50 mark. Then it gets weird(er)!
