Winston Legthigh Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Los Lobos has some great songs in songs Spanish - usually 1 or 2 songs per album (usually Cesar Rosas songs - I really prefer the Hidalgo/Perez songwriting team) - but especially their La Pistola y El Corazon album. Mas Y Mas is a great rocker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's amazing that the one original song on there (the title track) holds up so well against all the great, classic folk tunes that make up the rest of the album.

tinnitus photography Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 the Pixies sing a couple of songs in Spanish...as do Japanese grindcore/doom band Corrupted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I thought I had posted on this thread, but I guess I didn't. Hopefully I didn't post my response in some other thread and everyone's wondering WTF I'm going on about. Anyway, the only foreign language acts I listen to regularly are: DungenOs MutantesTinariwen I usually get a couple things from the international section whenever I go to the library. Rokia Traore is one thing I got from the library that I enjoyed enough to burn. A lot of the stuff on Festival in the Desert was pretty great, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Buena Vista Social Club. And my local record store owner just tipped me off to Los Peyotes, who do a smokin' version of ? and the Mysterians' "96 Tears" -- "96 Lagrimas." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Falco?Taco? That reminds me of a Simpsons episode in which Willie Nelson was at an award show and said "Now to present the lifetime achievement award to Falco, ladies and gentlemen, Taco!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Gyrrr Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 One of my favorite non-English artists is Eddie Palmieri, great latin jazz/salsa bandleader/pianist. LouieB Any albums in particular you would recomend Louie? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tinnitus photography Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 i saw two extremely fun non-English singing bands on Sunday, at the ATP that Animal Collective curated, over in Minehead, England. The first was one I'm familiar w/ and have an LP (Group Doueh), and the other I had no idea about (Khaira Arby). both were really fun, great dancing and party music. During Arby's set, a couple of the singer/dancers from Doueh joined on stage for a song or two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wild Frank Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I do listen to a lot of the Japenese turntable/hip-hop artist 'DJ Krush'. He has been putting out great material for many years. He has worked with member of the Roots and DJ Shawdow but also a lot of Japenese vocalists and muscians. Japenese rapping can be pretty hardgoing tho!! If anyone's interested the albums 'Zen' and 'Jako' are worth checking out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GtrPlyr Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Good to see this thread resurrected. I'll add another of my favorite Brazilian artists to the list, Ronnie Von, particularly his late 60s to early 70s records: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJYdWwSGTFc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
