I like to listen to music that has a great feel to it and in languages I do not speak or understand. That way I can enjoy it without the burden terrible lyrics. ☺️

I have a few that I listen to a lot:

Amatz by Shanti Dope - Filipino rap

Mundian To Bach Ke by Punjabi MC - upbeat Bollywood style

Life on Mars by Seu Jorge - just him and a guitar

Update: I have created a Spotify playlist with the songs so far. I will continue to update the list as new songs get added. If you find your song on the list but meant a different version please DM me a link to the one you want. Enjoy!

They've also done a cover of The Trooper. Some of their best ones also include Shoog Shoog and Yuve Yuve Yu.

Thats taken me down the rabbit hole of other Mongolian throat singing songs. These will start playing in the car and my wife is like "WTF is this".
