Music: Non-English music appreciation thread

[ADifferentTim]

Over a decade ago before I joined HFBoards, my gateway to Mexican ballads was this one Mexican banda called Los Tucanes de Tijuana (The Toucans of Tijuana).

As a sampler, I'm posting up one of their songs called Mis Tres Viejas (My Three Ladies).



This song introduced me to Mexican ballads altogether.

How about you guys? Kindly introduce me to non-English artists you know.

Italian prog rock = best prog rock

French Canadian music is great, it sucks that most of the ROC and the USA can't enjoy it.

In the last few years, I've taken a liking to Les Cowboys Fringants. Think of it as Northern Rock (as opposed to and alike Southern Rock) in French. Or Captain Tractor/The Pogues/Dropkick Murphys in French.

Favourites:

Break syndicale
Le gars d'la compagnie

I was a huge fan of theirs until La grand messe in 2005. After that their music grew and they targeted a larger audience which made me lose complete interest.

Perhaps because the moment for neo-trad had passed after 2005.

Oldies but goodies

(Italy) Please ignore the video, for some reason people in my country feel the need to make these crappy slideshow videos for every damn song.


(Italy) Classic Italian southern folk music, this is one of my favourites, Gargano dialect.

kihei, believe it or not, my gateway to Portuguese-language music altogether is this one number by Cidinho & Doca called Rap Das Armas.

Good a place to start as any.

Beside Céline Dion, the only other Québecoise musician I have learned of is Caracol.

No love for Neue Deutsche Harte?

 

[Haggard]

I cant explain, I just like it.
