Teach Rashaka to appreciate foreign music!

[timepiececlock]

I decided to do what octopedingenue did a while ago and make a non-English international languages mix CD.

So, I am looking for suggestions!

Here's what I have so far:

French

Placebo - "Protège-Moi"
Pink Martini - "Sympathique" (providing I can still find it on my comp...)


Japanese

Michiru Oshima & BEPA - "Brothers" from the Full Metal Alchemist soundtrack
"Sound Life" from the Trigun soundtrack


Unknown

Metisse - "Boom Boom Ba" from Dead Like Me soundtrack (thank you d_irge!)




Obviously, I need a lot more recs. And I know there's a few folks on my flist not from America or the UK, so it's time to face the music.

I have multiple recommendations...

It just depends what you're looking for, and what mood you're in. I had a middle eastern dance music phase... okay, I'm STILL really into it. So, check out an artist by the name of Ishtar, who happens to be the lead singer of a band called Alabina. Both of them are awesome... also, Amr (Amir) Diab is an excellent arab singer. Ishar's album is in french, arabic, and english. Alabina is mostly spanish, with some arabic in there occasionally.

German: Rammstein is good for hard, scary elements. Anything off of the "Mutter" album.

That's all I can think of at this point. I usually can come up with the appropriate artist for the occasion. Let me know if you want any other suggestions.

Rammstein. I know them. Yes, it's kinda scary.

Thank you for the suggestions! I've got a lot to sort through now... should be fun.
