Lea Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Oh I do do you also have a translation for it as well. I do like to kinda have a bit of an idea what the songs say if possible DH hates my music he always says "Do you even know what their saying ?!?!" I tell him sometimes I do but I don't really care much if I don't. He just shakes his head at me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I have to admit, I don't even know where to start is there any genre you prefer or would like to NOT have? ...of course I could give you a couple dozen links of things I thought you could like too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I got the same problem as Farin, please be more precise because Belgium is Big in music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Well I kinda like Rock a little bit but also really like Manu Chao and he isn't real rocky I don't think. As long as it's not opera,classical or to laid back I'd sure give it a listen. I'm not real sure what I want myself but I will know when I hear it. It was like that with Arno and Manu Chao. Didn't know how much I liked them until I heard them. I'm new to this I have little if any exposure to foreign music. I'm ready to take the plunge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Lea, I wouldn´t know where to begin, just like Martin...

Lea Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Thanks edna that would be great. There is no rush. I figure it will take me awhile to decide and it is DH's b-day today so I won't really have a lot of time myself but will keep checking in Thanks you guys, I have a feeling this is not only going to be fun but quite educational Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Jogi -- Punjabi MC Here you go. Now may I ask why you didn't vote for it when I nominated it a month ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 alright, then... sooner or later everyone who asks for non english recommendations will get this band from me, so we might as well get it over with Nichts in der Welt ~ Die Ärzte this one's with english subtitles a classic, a bit more punk Wünsch Dir Was ~ Die Toten Hosen underrated classic, by one of the most underrated bands I know Universal Tellerwäscher ~ Die Sterne a bit more recent Nur Ein Wort ~ Wir Sind Helden Mensch ~ Herbert Grönemeyer with english subtitles East German classic Rock Am Fenster ~ City or New Wave? (NDW, see your Nena song) Blaue Augen ~ Ideal just tell me which agrees with you and which doesn't, and we'll go from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 How about some Afro-pop some King Sunny Ade and His African Beats - Ja Funmi off his JuJu Music album. I don't know the translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Jogi -- Punjabi MC Here you go. Now may I ask why you didn't vote for it when I nominated it a month ago? Well for two reasons. #1 What it was up against and #2 It took time to grow on me and I thank you very much for the link. Thank you all for the links. I may have to wait for my B-day (day after Christmas) to be able to turn them up but listen I will. If I can find my headphones my sweet daughter used last, I will listen this afternoon Thanks guys this is great :happybanana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 You might want to check out David Byrne's world music label Luaka Bop I've got a compilation album that's Great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 world music always reminds me of this great song: 7 seconds ~ Youssou N'Dour & Neneh Cherry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesboy Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I found the compilation album... A Luaka Bop: Roots, Rock and Rhythm Here's a cut... Silvio Rodriguez - Nuestro Tema I don't know the translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Lea - if not for Martin's and Radhi's suggestions for the interview, I would never have known this song existed, but it's hauntingly gorgeous. Hoppipola - We Are Scientists (originally by Sigur Ros, but I like this version better!) Keith Murray of We Are Scientists, who I interviewed and asked him about this, said he has no clue what the song's about, and sang it strictly phonetically.

blind-fitter Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 bluesy's right: Luaka Bop is a great label to check out for all kinds of stuff. I hadn't thought of it earlier but the band Los De Abajo might be right up your street. Some "Los De Abajo" Also on Luaka Bop, the rather excellent "What's Happening In Pernambuca" series is a veritable treasure-trove of modern Brazilian music, fusing Latin American roots with all manner of "modern" strands, from psychedelic through indie to hip-hop. "What's Happening In Pernambuco?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesboy Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Then you have Peter Gabriel's foray into world music with his Real World Records . In the '90's he helped expand the envelope of world music. Here's one of his compilation albums... Passion Sources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Listen to bluesboy, he's the dude! Real World released all sort of fantastic and diverse artists from around the world. I'm a mere dabbler, but I would strongly recommend listening to Sheila Chandra. Enchanting. "Taal" "One" "Shanti, Shanti, Shanti" "Kafi Noir" (Sunset Over The Ganges) These are probably a bit "ambient" for whatever you had in mind, but in my book, Sheila Chandra's voice is a conduit for some Higher Power.
