In short, what are some awesome songs to listen to in that are from the country/region/whatever you live in, were born in, or both? Spotify thinks the only music I like is random American bands that nobody has ever heard of (note: I am not American). No shame to them, they actually make pretty good music, but I would like some variety.

Anything worth listening to would be good (from rock to pop, hard metal to folk, anything is fine). I would prefer non-English songs if possible, I like the beats and such you see)

edit: currently I have added a bunch of songs suggested on different corners internet (from Finnish polkas to Balkan rock, Brazilian pop to Polish folk music, and Gorbachev-era Russian bands to Scottish singers)

Babymetal might be something you could look into. Japanese band with some English.

I don't speak Japanese, but enjoy listening to them.

Here is a song collaboratively written by both Babymetal and the equally weird German band Electric Callboy:

Yeah, this song is a banger!

Believe it or not they are fairly known in the US. They've toured with some big names.

That's why I know about them. Someone was saying they're not real metal and some famous person (can't remember now, but maybe Metallica) was saying they were totally legit
