Foreign music

Hi to everyone!

I'm a big fan of music and I was always interested in music in different languages, it would be cool to open my mind for a new melodies, new singers, groups, etc.
I started a topic about Slavic music, but it didnt have much success, well, I ve no idea if you like the same what i like, but anyway let's just share our favourite music in any foreign languages

Here I copied my message from Slavic forum:

Guys! let's share our favourite music in Slavic languages! How's my idea?
Ребят! давайте делиться своей любимой музыкой на славянских языках! Как идейка?

well, may I begin?
ну, начинать-то можно?

I don't have any links to provide, but I once listened to a few songs by Wir sind Helden and I found them to be rather catchy.

The links I give are not at all rock music, but in foreign languages all the same!


Breton

I can find rock Breton music, but the lyrics won't be in Breton.


Hindi

Wanderin, "all the same" used this way means "even so" or "nonetheless" or several other expressions:

You're welcome! I don't know if it's your kind of music, but well...

As Deborah said, I meant 'nonetheless" by writing "all the same".

Of course not, all music in foreign languages are not the same.
Take the example of a famous French song called "Comme d'habitude". This song had been sung in different languages. The music is still the same, but the lyrics are different.

Comme d'habitude --> sang by another French singer as the "real one" is dead

No no, it's in French Do you want to listen? It's called "rock celtique"

Yes, I like music, and I'm rather eclectical.
Yelina

Sorry, I got mixed up with the "quote" and everything I wrote seems as if it was just quotes
Wanderin

oooppps.... I mean "all the same", never heard about such meaning before, well, I'm here for learning as well

Yelina, thank you for the links!!! Now, i dont have time to watch videos, but sure, I'm looking forward to hearing celtic rock

Next time I'll try to find my fav. music in Russian
Yelina

I hadn't put the links for celtic rock yet, but here they are.
The group is called Matmatah and is very famous in Brittany
I love this music!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BQZZsmFGUY (this song has been censored)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13qnnhF8oM8 (if you don't understand the lyrics, just look at the video, the guys in it do what is said in the song! )

Here is another band called "Merzhin"

I'm eager to hear it too
Wanderin

Uh, so many songs to listen, OK, here my critics goes

    Folk song in Breton "Alan Stivell, Tri martolod" is kind of strange for me, because on the one hand it's cool that it is in Breton (first song in Breton I ve heard!), but the group isn't intresting itself, music didn't touch me...

    Song in Hindi i liked more :) Video is cool, looks like it was made of Bollywood movie

    Comme d'habitude, desolé, j'ai aimé la version anglaise et allemande plus que l'une en français...and one more language looks like spanish or italian, ehm which one?

    Matmatah ROCKS! probably the only french music except Téléphone which is worth to listen But my favourite song is the first one

    Merzhin sounds OK, but probably it's just not my cup of tea... Good music, but Matmatah is better


Now, songs which I like in Russian and what is popular now:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiu_F5t5vXA - punk-rock


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD8UkGdRSh8 - quite popular rock group, their international page is:
http://www.myspace.com/rockgrouppilot - more videos and info

http://www.nashe.ru/tv-clips/786/ - videos of the most popular hard-core, nu-metal group - this is actually a site of a radio which plays only Russian rock music, so you can listen it on-line

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEEuPlDZcNE - the most popular rock folk group and homemade video (the group doesnt have official ones)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfTBU9xKyU0 - more folk from them

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7z0jtmbOC8 - it is concidered to be classics of Russian rock, quite old song, the group is 25 years - its name is DDT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkRlA57F10c - more new song from DDT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh6oerblbRE - song from the last album
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fNlh7mz7Is - DDT soundrack for one of the recent Russian films

actually there are so many different music that I will never tell even about 1% of it....

    I clearly understand. I think we need to be born in this culture to really appreciate this kind of music. As far as I'm concerned, I like it very much, but that's right it's not the music I listen to in my car while driving!

    Actually you're right. It's a song in a Bollywood movie.

    No need to apologise! The other one is the Spanish version because I didn't find the Italian one.

    The songs I gave were extracted from their first album. They came out another one but I don't like it. We do no longer hear the Breton influence in their songs. If you want me to give you some links of their latter songs, just tell me!

    Merzhin is famous mainly among young people because you never hear their music on the radios nor anywhere else. Actually, I don't really know how they managed to be famous without any ads.

    I listened to the Russian songs.
    I didn't really appreciat the first one (Rom) even if it made me think of music I used to listen with my former boyfriend.

    B/W is OK as well as the most popular rock folk group.

    My favorite song amongst the ones you gave is Veter by DDT. Even if it's rather old, I like it. Good music never fade!

    Anyway, thank you for the links!

Let me introduce you to the Swedish band Bob Hund. The singer, Thomas Öberg, is from Skåne and thus his 'r's are uvular and gargly, and his diphthongs are many.



Ska du hänga med? Nä! (lit. will you hang with) - Are you coming? No! - "nä" is how you write "nae" which is how you usually pronounce "nej", meaning "no".



Nu är det väl revolution på gång? - There's got to be a revolution starting now.



Allt på ett kort - Everything on a card.



*sigh* High School memories...
