Rammstein - Du Hast

Asilos Magdalena by Mars Volta

I like all their stuff, but that’s the only one I can think of that is completely in Spanish

Too much kpop and jpop to list, but Kent (swedish) has a lot of good songs: Stanna Hos Mig, 400 Slag

La Vie en Rose - Eddie Piaf

Ievan Polka

Du Hast - Rammstein

I think that's a pretty good spread

Ederlezi

Tanz mit Mir by Faun

The whole genre of City Pop is awesome.

Indian Folk Metal -- Bloodywood - Dana Dan

• some chill, maybe non-angsty rap

• Ievan Polkka

• Коробейники

• 跟我在一起 the number of 天s in this song hits the feels.

There are a lot of operas that I thoroughly enjoy that are largely in Italian that are just incredibly moving. Pavarotti singing Pagliacci is insanely moving, as one example.

Pretty partial to Japanese pop myself. I'm learning Japanese partially so i can understand the songs. Yoasobi's songs are a good general recommendation, I would recommend Yoru ni Kakeru, Gunjou, and Seventeen.

Cocteau Twins. I'm pretty sure she just gave up using actual words entirely at some point.

du

Great thread - I'll throw in a few although I'm late to the party.

Gaspar Nali - Abale Ndikuwuzeni

Anything from the Afro-Cuban All Stars or Buena Vista Social Club albums

Orchestra Baobab - Sey

Mory Kante - Yeke Yeke (Hardfloor mix)

Lexicon Avenue - Here I Am (Rutabaga mix)

I'm partial to Klingon Opera.

Asian Kung Fu Generation - After Dark

Malagueña Salerosa from the Kill Bill soundtrack.

I would normally just go with an Infected Mushroom tune (there are a few in Hebrew like Lost in Space which also has Arabic at the end), but I challenged myself to think beyond my regular playlist, and Disko Partizani was the first that came to mind (partly in English, but otherwise in Romanian, I'm pretty sure).. Great tune and it's been ages since I gave it a listen, so thanks for the reminder!

I'm sure there are more examples, but my mind is drawing a blank right now.. This is going to bug me all evening lol

Starts off in English but really kicks in when it turns Welsh.

patio song by Gorkys Zygotic Mynci

Most things by Snow Tha Product - start with 'Butter' or 'No Cap In My Captions'.

This, which I remember from the FIFA 06 soundtrack: https://youtu.be/M-rZ3602Lm8?feature=shared

Wen Bie by Jackie Cheung

There's a bunch of hardbass I like that's usually in Russian or some other slavic language Mostly listen to Uamee

Ichiko Aoba - Windswept Adan. The whole album is magical.

Jonas Dichoso - Empilight
