Ask Lemmy

Taikatalvi by Nightwish

Anything by kælan mikla out of Iceland is good. Definitely Draumaudis/dream dance

Aural Vampire from Japan is a lot of fun too. Hard to pick just one. But kerguelen vortex is a good starting point.

Tricot - 爆裂トリコさん

Malagueña Salerosa from the Kill Bill soundtrack.

I really like the French national anthem.

"Habibi"

Who killed UN Owen https://youtu.be/eCyf9C6dHYE?si=IcV5ZkNFNGBexBey

Nearly all songs by Akatsuki Records, Ado, CrazyBeats, Hololive productions, MoeShop and some other japan based Artists.

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

Asian Kung Fu Generation - After Dark

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

Nanook - Ingerlaliinnaleqaagut

Sunrise from the Final Fantasy 14 soundtrack.

I think nobody posted yet this Finnish duo...This song slaps: Maustetytöt - Syntynyt suruun ja puettu pettymyksin I'm posting this link as it has both subtitles and you get to see them playing, but audio is better in the Studio version.

Since I'm at it...how about some Mongolian metal with throat singing? The HU - Yuve Yuve Yu. Comments on this video are hilarious too.

This video still cracks me up... Bomba Estéreo - Soy Yo

Japanese pop/rock overloaded with traditional instruments and general chaos...Wagakki - Kishikaisei

And...this. Namewee - Makudonarudo

El Pescador y La Luna - DJ Ignato

I really like Hippie Hourrah out of Montreal - this song has been on repeat in my house for a while now:

I listen to quite a decent amount of French music

https://open.spotify.com/track/5exiWZkZho6AvCGkabEMeA?si=YRhnFPEHSfuxozVZSoVkSQ

I've got quite a bunch, in multiple languages and genres. Here are a few. Let me know what you think.

Culcha Candela x HBz - Hamma 2k22
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q9fD6UA4xs

Tacabro - Tacata
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqFtayBRdfs

Shiva - Auto Blu
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGlWbPR6SjA

t.A.T.u. - Malchik Gay

Blümchen - Heut' ist mein Tag
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXay1pdfQpI

G-Dragon - Butterfly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98qqghzKAMM

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

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

patio song by Gorkys Zygotic Mynci

White Tiger Field (Byakkoya) by Susumu Hirasawa

I like most songs by Carla's Dreams (Romanian/Moldovan + Russian). From eurovision, Shum (Ukrainian) and My sister's crown (English+Ukrainian+Czech+Bulgarian) are pretty good. Slavic languages just sound nice in songs.

Also most pop in catalan (eg. La sortida, escriurem, Ara!).

For something rarer check out Pat Boy who sings in Mayan.

Kasa no Hone - Anathallo

Pretty much anything by Sigur Ros

[Bratisla Boys - Stach Stach

](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0mv7ljo9x0g)

I think that for this one we can all agree on "not speaking the language"

Dame veneno by Los Chunguitos.

Amatz by Shanti Dope https://g.co/kgs/wkcx8Wj

Swamp - Mid-Air Thief

Canım Oy - Altin Gün

Both albums are pretty great all the way through though.

I'm enough of a lyrics person that the language barrier is a pretty big issue when it comes to music but HATRIÐ MUN SIGRA and I si demà no tornara are both undeniable bangers

"Teresa Rampell" by Manel. It's in Catalan.

Traicionera by Sebastian Yatra.

Melor Famigal

Mungkin Nanti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWcMwUySDvI

No idea what this song name is Infected Mushroom - תרקוד לנצח. It's in Hebrew I believe. No idea what it's about, but I think it sounds great. Also Leonard Dembo - Mutadzi Ngaaregererwe. It's just super chill. It's in an African language, can't remember which.
