Foreign Language Bands..

Does anyone listen to bands that aren't their native tongue. I mean there are probably alot of people here who listen to J-pop (which I avoid like the plague..) but I love my angry german music (I.E. Rammstein) and recently ..I've found this wierd..haunting..yet I loathe to admit it because their French..band called KYO..something about them..is just ..clicky with me.

Well I listen to english music which is not my native language
but i guess this doesn't count since most music is in english.

beside that i listen to some mediaeval rock/metal and a lot of those bands sing in latin / old german (Old High German) or old skadinavic languages

If you like neo-soul...the check out Les Nubians. They're two French girls who are pretty chill...and sing "en francais."

Also this other weird ass group called Runes...they have their own language.

What's wrong with them being French?

I like Lhasa (sexy, sexy Spanish, mostly folk songs), Manu Chao (also Spanish, but more playful, especially the song "Me gustas tu"), J-Punk (like "Wipeout"), J-Rockabilly (Guitar Wolf!) and a lot of French-Canadian stuff (Les Cowboys Fringuants, Les Marmottes Aplaties...). Like Pacifier, my native language isn't English, but listing all my favorite English speaking bands would be too time-consuming and sorta pointless here.

Violet Indiana - delicious with a taste of French
The Pink Martini - English, French, Spanish, theme song from an obscure Japanese B-movie

I'm amazed every time I listen to the Cocteau Twins to learn that she sings exclusively in English... though, I understand that Liz uses some Old English in her lyrics.

I have a lot of music that is in foriegn languages, but hardly any that I would put in the "band" category.

Sure I do.

I listen to lots of bands where the language is either in:

-Swedish
-Norwegian
-Finnish
-Polish
-Latin

As for what bands they are? Thats my little secret.

I liked Paul Simon's "Graceland" album, which had some african music on it.

I like Wasis Diop. He's from Ghana I think.

Edit: He's from Senegal

I'm into Noir Desir, an excellent French rock group. These guys are really talented musicians. The lead singer is one of the best ever. Even though you can't understand the language, the feeling
behind the words comes out clear. Also, they sing a bunch of songs in English as well.

Also, Telephone, another French group, is very cool. They're not as good as Noir Desir, but they're music is great too. They are the French equivalent of most rock bands in the US from the late 70s and 80s.

Yes! I love Noir Desir! You should check out the song "Le vent l'emportera" (the wind will blow it away). It's one of their more subdued songs, but well worth a listen.

Rammstein's good stuff too. I've actually always wanted to find a band that used Quenya (tolkien Elvish) but no luck so far.
