Do you listen to music in a language other than English?

Here are some of the non english artists I'm listening to.

ZAZ

Cafe Tacvba

Les Ogres De Barback

Louise Attaque

Very rarely. Right now I'm mostly listening to music that don't have any vocals at all.

Not particularly.

Rammstein (German), Belphegor (Austrian German), Behemoth/Decapitated/Hate/Vader (Polish), Tyr (Faroese), Rudra (Sanskrit/Hindi), Wardruna (Old Norse/Norwegian).

The vast majority of good music is not in English.

I certainly like a few songs that aren't in english but I wouldn't say it's a regular thing

Only Rammstein which is a German rock band.

Polynesian music

Very rarely but I'll sometimes listen to Vocaloid and there are a couple of songs I like that wouldn't be in English.

I listen to metal so there are a few bands that have non english lyrics. I care more about the music anyway. Currently listening to some Japanese metal.

@jun_aka_pekto

So this is where twerking comes from :D

I love music. I'm listening to music in a lot of languages, for example Japanese, Polish, German, Russian, Spain etc.

Rammstein

@darklight4: me too, especially if your into death metal or other extreme metal genres you sometime can't under stand the lyrics anyway.

I like lacrimosa (German) aria (Russian) and a few others.

Yes, Spanish (my native language).

Dutch, Russian, French, Welsch and German. Not that I understand the languages all that well, mind you.

Probably way more than those... but irregularly. Like Korean. Norwegian.

Why would you only listen to English music XD That sounds so weird to me. You have the whole world to listen to!

(Is it because as a child I couldn't understand most lyrics anyway, so I was never too bothered by that?)

Well... Norwegian and Swedish. Throw in some Polish and German on a irregular basis.

Being French... No, I don't :p

I think I just have 2 songs in French and 1 in Spanish on my phone. That's all. :p

Well, being that English is the most spoken language in the world and everybody can understand it, it's only understandable that people like to listen to it. And, let's be real here, the most famous people who are doing music are coming from the US.

But I totally agree with your last sentense in the quote.

Sad but true. I mainly stick to music with no vocals or J-Pop and J-Rock.

Not one the regular, but when I do it's usually Spanish. Some German and Japanese, too.

english and russian

So you're telling me that music is made outside of the US too?

Anime music, which is mostly Japanese rock.

Well, I do. Nowadays, I mostly listen to Japanese Songs and some Filipino songs (sometimes).

English songs generally from the 80s or older..lol.. then there's Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, some Malay & some Korean songs. :P

Not really, I used to listen to rammstein back in the day but that’s about it .

Some 2 steps from hell music is like that so yes.

Music is music, so yeah. JPop, KPop, various forms of EDM or techno from Europe. etc.

-Byshop

@reaperinthyname:

nice.. never heard of her, but I liked that ZAZ singer you linked.

here are some of my favorite non English songs (though I don't understand the lyrics, but they have a nice melody)

Stormae - Formidable - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfOkfmPABJw

Kat Dahlia - Gangsta en Español - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMuhgU_tUcc

Stormae - Quand c'est ? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aJw4chksqM

Maître Gims - Zombie - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOtPtPBwA8I

Indila - Comme un bateau https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRV9R50KiLU

I mostly just listen to soundtracks, a lot of them from Final Fantasy that are often in Latin. So I guess I do?

Heck no why would I ever.

@Mystery_Writer

Thanks for sharing. Will check them out for sure.

Ok.

Sorry for my question. Can you share good Filipino songs? I never listened to these. It's very interesting.

1. Songs from Silent Sanctuary

2. Bagsakan- Parokya ni Edgar feat. Francis Magalona and Chito Miranda

3. Songs from Eraserheads

4. Songs from Spongecola

5. Torete

6. Songs from Cueshe

7. Songs from Razorback

you can search more filipino opm on youtube. Preferably, listen to the older opm songs than the newer ones because majority of filipino opm songs in this generation really sucks.

@rockfield: Thank you very much for a lot of music bands! I'm going to listen to this music at the weekend.

Yes, doesn't bug me not knowing what they say, either. The voice is an instrument, after all, not strictly a tool for communication.

Rammstein

Lots of anime/J-rock.

I listen to a lot of classical and early music, which is very commonly in Latin, French, German, or Italian instead of English.

Of course my native language doesn't count. But I listen to some Japanese Song especially from this youtube channel called Kobasolo.

Kpop. Maybe because it sounds very western.

Rammstein

Only if the artist that I like sings in a different language (Mars Volta had a few spanish songs, Bjork would sing gibberish sometimes.)

Considering I'm hispanic, I listen to both English and Spanish.
