Do you ever listen to something that isn't in your native language or English? 

I've got a few bands/artists I like listening to even though I have no idea what they are singing about (unless I've looked up a translated version of the lyrics). One of the bands I listen to like this is Oomph:

I really like their music. I do know a /bit/ of German, but it's extremely rusty and more like "Hey that's a word I know. Nice word! Yeah!". They've redone some of their songs in English but I vastly prefer them in German.

Does it count if I'm fluent in the other language?

Here are a few!







(And my guilty pleasure of KPOP. /shameless)

Gonna skip the Japanese stuff since it's not really a foreign language in my house :S









EDIT: I LIED I have to share Nujabes.

I love Korean pop music. <3 Epic ballads can be epic.  Some of my characters 'theme songs' happen to be kpop songs.

I also love jrock/pop.

French doesn't really count as foreign here, either. They did this one in English, but I prefer the Franglais version.

Ojos Asi

The reason why attached Shakira to Brynnalia so many years ago.

But likely this is not such a foreign language for many.

Edit: one more!

Figlio Perduto

I used this song to write a post for Roen long ago. It's more her style.

Well, despite the fact that most of the bands I listen to are European, almost all power metal is done in English. However, a couple of them like to do songs in their native languages.

And of course, it would be unjust of me to not mention Rhapsody.

Mmmhmm...

I think I'll add Oomph! to my list of bands to listen to...

For foreign languages, I prefer them over my native language because I can completely ignore the lyrical aspect and just get engrossed in the sound. I'm not one for the meaning behind lyrics and just love getting a 'feel' for the music through instrumental alone. (Which is why my mainstay for music is mostly electronic) Not understanding the words they're speaking kinda adds to that in a way.

I liked the Mozart L'Opera Rock album

Ziroq is good

Mediaeval Baebes is love. They do songs in many languages.

I've got a real soft spot for boogaloo, which is something like Latin... R&B and pop? All rolled into one:

Soooo often.  I love music in any language.  This is one of my fave non-English sounds (though sadly most of their music these days is in English). [Gaelic... Finnish.. German, French, Russian, Japanese.. I love music in so many different languages! )

I like Icelandic, sometimes German and French. I guess as per the op, stating "music not in your native language" I guess music in english would count too.
