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.

Everyone's suggested most of the people I would. Especially Francoise Hardy. April March does the same style of music (French pop) but she's relatively young and not French. I could send you some of her stuff. I have a lot of Francoise Hardy, too.

I have quite a bit of Arabic music too. I'd suggest, along with Amir, that you check into Ofra Haza (she's Israeli), Rachid Taha (Made In Medina's the best album), and DEFINITELY Natacha Atlas. I can send you stuff from either Taha or Atlas.

Someone beat me to the Indian music I'd have suggested right off - "Darshan" by B21. But I have two versions of "Chamma Chamma" by Sameer (off the China Gate soundtrack) which you may like. It was used in the song "Hindi Sad Diamonds" in the movie Moulin Rouge!.

Oh, and for Japanese, I have stuff by Gackt and Tomoyasu Hotei (made famous for "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" from Kill Bill Volume 1).
