Best Non-English Songs? - For a Compilation
I've been gathering tracks for the last few weeks for a compilation of non-english sung tracks for a friend... Managed to find quite a few great ones. Just wondering if anyone had any more suggestions? Here's a couple of the highlights I've found
Sigur Ros - Svefn-y-Englar (from the 'Vanilla Sky' soundtrack) Swci Boscawen - Asdar Y Nefoedd Emilie Simon - Fleur du Saison Issa Bagayogo - Banani Yankaw - Nahawa Doumbia (Aqua Bassino Dub mix) Mory Kante - Yeke Yeke Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan - Mann Atkia Beparwaah de Naal Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla So anyway - drop your world-music (i hate that term!) or other fave non-english tracks here! |

Sorry to nitpick, but shouldn't you have called this "Best Non-English Language Songs"?
