The whole genre of City Pop is awesome.

Great thread - I'll throw in a few although I'm late to the party.

Gaspar Nali - Abale Ndikuwuzeni

Anything from the Afro-Cuban All Stars or Buena Vista Social Club albums

Orchestra Baobab - Sey

Mory Kante - Yeke Yeke (Hardfloor mix)

Lexicon Avenue - Here I Am (Rutabaga mix)

• some chill, maybe non-angsty rap

• Ievan Polkka

• Коробейники

• 跟我在一起 the number of 天s in this song hits the feels.

Indian Folk Metal -- Bloodywood - Dana Dan

du

Pretty partial to Japanese pop myself. I'm learning Japanese partially so i can understand the songs. Yoasobi's songs are a good general recommendation, I would recommend Yoru ni Kakeru, Gunjou, and Seventeen.

There are a lot of operas that I thoroughly enjoy that are largely in Italian that are just incredibly moving. Pavarotti singing Pagliacci is insanely moving, as one example.

Ederlezi

The entirety of NieR and NieR Automata's vocal tracks. Most of them are actually just gibberish.

some of the ones that spontaneously come to my mind are:
- 99 luftballons
- Ievan polkka
- Cannabis
- Naruto's second opening

I'm partial to Klingon Opera.

Cocteau Twins. I'm pretty sure she just gave up using actual words entirely at some point.

Rammstein - Du Hast

Rammstein - all songs 🙂

Tanz mit Mir by Faun

French?

• Florina - Va Va Vis
• The Longest Johns - Santiano (only partly in french, but damn bro)

Afterhours, Vedova Bianca (There's an English version that was used in Mr. Robot)

Anything from Ningen Isu.

Ningen Isu - Heartless Scat

La Vie en Rose - Eddie Piaf

Ievan Polka

Du Hast - Rammstein

I think that's a pretty good spread

Asilos Magdalena by Mars Volta

I like all their stuff, but that’s the only one I can think of that is completely in Spanish

Gangnam Style, O Fortuna (Carmina Burana), stuff by Hildegard von Bingen

I would normally just go with an Infected Mushroom tune (there are a few in Hebrew like Lost in Space which also has Arabic at the end), but I challenged myself to think beyond my regular playlist, and Disko Partizani was the first that came to mind (partly in English, but otherwise in Romanian, I'm pretty sure).. Great tune and it's been ages since I gave it a listen, so thanks for the reminder!

I'm sure there are more examples, but my mind is drawing a blank right now.. This is going to bug me all evening lol

Malagueña Salerosa from the Kill Bill soundtrack.

Taikatalvi by Nightwish

Asian Kung Fu Generation - After Dark

Who killed UN Owen https://youtu.be/eCyf9C6dHYE?si=IcV5ZkNFNGBexBey

Nearly all songs by Akatsuki Records, Ado, CrazyBeats, Hololive productions, MoeShop and some other japan based Artists.

Starts off in English but really kicks in when it turns Welsh.

I really like the French national anthem.

Ruina Imperii by Sabaton

Anything by kælan mikla out of Iceland is good. Definitely Draumaudis/dream dance

Aural Vampire from Japan is a lot of fun too. Hard to pick just one. But kerguelen vortex is a good starting point.
