Ásgeir Trausti - Heimförin (Icelandic folk music)

https://www.youtube.com/v/kzSJBhPFTcY

Kaizers Orchestra - Knekker Deg Til Sist (Norwegian alt-rock)

https://www.youtube.com/v/mYrPdOCM4y0

Chetes - Camino a Casa (apparently this counts as pop rock in Mexico)

https://www.youtube.com/v/qNuuzGN9WRg

I guess songs in English by non-native speaking artists are fine too.

I like their monumental expressionist style. Very teutonic, but in a way that is strangely infectious.

Well that was just terrible by anybody's standards.

The one by Dur Dur Band was fantastic. I love the lofi sound all those type of records have, and the really specific kind of delay/reverb on the lead vocals that sounds like a poorly set-up PA.

As translated by Eric Bentley:

Oh little box I carried in my flight
So as not to break the radio tubes inside me
From house to boat, from boat to train held tight
So that my enemies can still address me

Right where I slept and much to my dismay
Last thing at night and first thing every day
About their victories, defeats for me
Oh please do not fall silent suddenly

Imagine somewhere so cold that you're not having to constantly deal with being a bit sweaty. You could put on a sensible jumper and some nice thick long-johns while you sit by the fire. Heaven.

It has been a week since I found this. I am unable to listen to anything but.

City Pop seems to be really fucking sound. Cheesy, funky, 80's. It's vapid but self aware. I'll stop before I go full Bateman. I will happily write a few paragraphs about exactly why you should enjoy this, if anyone will read.

My particular favourites are:

00:00: Plastic Love - reminds me of the girl who lives in the clubs, has endless energy, and would love you back if you could just keep up with her. But you can't, and she'll always want to stay out and do coke instead of enjoying a mug of horlicks in the bath.
32:41: 告白本人 - Not sure what song she ripped off, but it's got a great chorus.
37:40:​ 真夜中のドア - Sounds like it was made yesterday by a futurefunk band.
42:58​ Oh No, Oh Yes - Think she's channelling Mariah Carey here, but less mental.

Those are a few of the hits. I hope someone finds as much joy in this as I have. I've never danced more.

I've been enjoying this, it very much opens as a beep-boop kind of song but you will end up listening to it on repeat. The lyrics are just:
>You and I in solitude. Same here. Trying to change, trying to forget.

It give me a sad regret though over all the things I didn't do in my 20s before I got a career and that. Travelling as an end in itself seems wasteful but I feel like I missed out on living abroad at some point. Maybe it's just that I haven't been out of the country in nearly 10 years.

I love foreign-language music. It's nice to see that other people like it too. I will now proceed to post links of pop music from communist countries, or countries shortly after they renounced communism:

Neoton Familia are the Hungarian ABBA, and the absolute best communist-era pop group:
220 Felett:

Don Quijote:

Te Vagy Minden (earlier in their career)

In fact, you can see how long and sort-of varied their career was by comparing Parbeszed:

Russya, Bud Shcho Bude, the first communist-era song I ever liked:

Yugoslavia (Dubravka Jusic)...
(warning; if you like this one, it's been uploaded with the wrong title and is actually called Plesacica, I think)

After the collapse of communism, Lithuania seemingly had an entire industry of music that sounds like 2 Unlimited, and is therefore all fantastic:

Ten years ago they were hothousing their kids to be violinists and classical pianists, but a lot of them realised that there's more cultural cachet in contemporary music - an Asian kid who's brilliant at classical music is just a naff nouveau riche stereotype, but an Asian kid who's brilliant at jazz might get an Ivy League scholarship.



Also there's quite a big evangelical Christian movement for reasons I don't fully understand (Yank military bases?), which brought with it gospel music. Gospel often gets ignored by secular musicians and listeners, but the Black church has been the creative engine behind popular music for the last century.

Honestly I wouldn't say it's a good thing by this point. I love a spot of Northern soul but the Adele to Lewis Capaldi to Rag'n'Bone Man pipeline churns out some of the worst fucking dross you'll hear on the radio today.

But that's precisely the problem - white soul artists are re-hashing a cod version of a cod version of 60s gospel. The Black Church is still churning out innovative and technically brilliant musicians in droves, but that isn't filtering through to the mainstream.

Why do so many acts with foreign alphabets only transliterate either their name or the song title? I would understand if they provided both, or neither, or if they gave both artist name and song title in both alphabets, but it seems to be fairly common to only do one and leave people guessing for the other. (That song's title would be written as "Pochemu" in our alphabet, by the way).

Even ultradiskopanorama, my key to the world of foreign music, does it too, giving you the name in both alphabets but leaving the song titles impenetrable:


(The title means "Tornado", he says in the video description for this one, so it's not even like he can't use Google Translate)

Alpha Blondy - Brigadier Sabari

Some of the finest reggae you'll ever hear. The lyrics are all about police brutality too, which is very righteous, but they're in some nutty obscure African language so I haven't been able to find them online anywhere.

***UZBEKISTAN SPECIAL***

Whenever I watch Uzbek music videos, which I almost certainly do more often than you do, there are some bizarrely ubiquitous stereotypes which really annoy me. The ones I see all seem to be directed by the same people, who emphasise really naked materialism and ostentatious wealth, and whose music videos always contain "acting breaks" like Michael Jackson always had, where the music stops and they just act instead for a bit. This is a particularly egregious example; they stop to act on no less than three separate occasions in just five minutes:



At least nobody dies in a car crash in that one. Uzbek pop stars lose at least one loved one in a car crash per music video, usually. Anyway, this song is better and more Western-feeling:



Next time someone demands more multiculturalism in their pop music charts, perhaps they should recruit Afruza instead of just singing in Spanish yet again. From what I can put into Google Translate, Afruza is the daughter of this woman who appears to be the same age:

That's a fairly amateurish translation in my opinion (when he says "geil", the translator puts it as "horny", which is literally correct but the word is more commonly used to just mean "cool") but I trust it enough to agree with you that these are some very surprising lyrics.

Translating lyrics is basically impossible, because you're never going to capture the literal meaning, the allusion and the prosody. The double meaning of "geil" is integral in this context, so you're damned either way.

Some of those translation choices are objectively bad - I would never choose "Still, a good session requires some 'multi-taskers', no?" when the more literal "What's a good game without a multi-player mode?" conveys the intent far more closely. With that said, the translation is certainly close enough to convey the general gist, i.e. that Alligatoah is a total fuccboi. I mean, look at the state of him. No amount of ironic detachment can conceal the fact that he phones up his exes in tears at 4am after a long fruitless coke wank.

German punk band Die Toten Hosen enjoyed a niche following in many countries including Britain, in the days before MTV Europe became localised.

The song "Hier Kommt Alex" is a homage to the character Alex in A Clockwork Orange, and the lyrics essentially recount most of the book's premise.

I saw them live in Germany once at Rock am Ring, in its day one of Europe's biggest open-air festivals. They really rocked. A teutonic take on the Sex Pistols, coupled with some broad-appeal guitar rock.

I don't know why this wimpy ballad is so catchy, but I can't get it out of my head:


According to Wikipedia, this video is Penelope Cruz's acting debut. The single was released a few weeks before her 15th birthday, so she is presumably 14 here.

I remember and I apologise if I've posted this exact story before reading the lyrics to Joe le Taxi, and being very surprised when Vanessa Paradis lists the sort of music that Joe listens to in his taxi. It's meant to be exotic, but gritty, the music of immigrants. But the only name I recognised was Yma Sumac (at 2:28 in your video), whom I had discovered by pure chance only a few days earlier.

Yma Sumac is fucking mental. In the notoriously conservative 1950s, she was an opera singer known for her extremely avant-garde and experimental style. Here she is:



I don't think Vanessa Paradis had ever heard anything by Yma Sumac. I was expecting mentions of the vibrant underground scene of Paris, to show the cultural impact of immigrants from all over the world. It should be like Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam in America, or I guess N-Dubz or somebody over here if you'd rather focus on the underclass element. Instead, she names the Peruvian equivalent of Karlheinz Stockhausen or Philip Glass.

Thank you for reading my probably-repeated story, and up next on Britfa.gs FM, we've got Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam:

You raise an interesting point. The lyricist for that song was Étienne Roda-Gil, who was a hugely successful French songwriter and a prominent figure in the anarcho-syndicalist movement. Joe was a real person - a butch lesbian called Maria-José Léao Dos Santos, who left Portugal to escape the Salazar regime. Étienne was a passenger in her cab, got chatting about her life and asked if he could write song about her. Étienne's father fled Spain after the civil war, which may have resonated with Joe's story. The real Joe was something of a personality in the Parisian LGBT scene and went on to run a number of lesbian bars in Pigalle.

Why the French pop industry liked to give this sort of song to girls in their early teens is a mystery to me, but I'll settle for the explanation of "the French are wrong'uns". I'm not sure how else you'd explain Alizée or Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Speaking of Eurovision, it's looking like quite a competitive field this year. I think Norway are the most likely winners, with France and Spain being strong contenders.

Yes. I consider it a matter of etiquette to refer to countries using their preferred name. I think we're now well past the point where anyone could argue that the name hasn't caught on because it's used in essentially all official contexts, including Eurovision.

Türkiye sticks in my throat slightly for obvious political reasons and I'd use "Türkiye (Turkey)" in the first instance for the sake of clarity, but Côte d'Ivoire has been the preferred name since the mid-80s and is almost universally recognised without clarification. We've all stopped using "The Ukraine" and I wouldn't use the definite article for any country other than The Bahamas and The Gambia.

I wouldn't be on board if a country were to absolutely take the piss and change their name to an unpronounceable symbol or something, but I don't think that's particularly likely.

I know we've had the debate in another thread, but it's not true that the 90s were the Sodom and Gomorrah of decades where everybody was fucking everybody. If you were having sex with somebody underage, you were opening yourself up to criminal charges the same way as you do now. What is true is that it was the time before stranger danger and media hysteria about wronguns like Jimmy Saville. I was a teenlad in the 90s, and I'm not sure you can even say we were living in an age of innocence or outright ignorance where we just weren't aware of all that noncery going on. Everyone knew at least one weird older lad who was inappropriately friendly with girls half his age. But for what it was, as a young person growing up in the 90s, consensual sexuality was more free, with fewer hangups and worries. And fewer laws to get on the wrong side of. And at a time when The Sun regularly featured sixteen year old Page 3 girls, nobody would have thought much of seeing a 16- or 17 year old dancing around suggestively in a throwaway techno music video. Which still looks pretty tame, let's be honest.

It was a different time. And in many respects, I still maintain it was a better time. No matter what people will have you believe nowadays as somebody who didn't experience the 90s first-hand.

Sometimes I wonder how the original members of Caramell feel about finding online fame so long after they split up that they have now been replaced by cartoon characters that bear no resemblance to the original group.

Remarkably, it was probably done on an Amiga. Off-topic, but this promo video is staggeringly 90s.

I was thinking more something like an SGI workstation. The Amiga probably would have been a bit out of its depth rendering those highly textured shapes into 640x480 video with a halfway decent frame rate.

2 Amiga 1200s were used to do the CGI for Babylon 5. It's simple textured 3D models with very little in the way of animation, but it was impressive at the time.

My family were big italophiles in the 80s and 90s and we spent a few summer holidays there, and if you were inclined that way, there was no way you didn't know about Gianna Nannini. She was probably the biggest female singer in Italy in those days.

Glad there're some other Asian tracks to explore, here.
Check this one out, Miki Matsubara's Stay With Me. She sings slightly off key in this live track- it's charming. There's something wonderful about Japanese pop music, or whatever this is. Reminds me of my teen years listening to niche videogame music radio.

I think it has something to do with the phonetic nature of the language. Each sylable is distinct, as opposed to our language, which words can meld into one another.

I was really drunk for my birthday a few weeks ago and I started playing a load of this stuff to my girlfriend. I think it drastically lowered her estimations of me, partly because she's a slav, and partially because I'm supposed to be a metalhead.

She doesn't know that inside, my soul is gopnik. It's painful lads.

Sometimes I wonder if this is the most iconic foreign pop song of all time. It's brilliant. Thinking about it a little more, perhaps it comes second behind Rock Me Amadeus, and 99 Luftballons has a shout too but that was translated into English for the UK charts so I don't count it.

I really like these old Turkish songs. And yet, when I have looked them up outside of these two videos, they sound completely different. It turns out that Hande Yener was not around in the 1980s at all (well, she was born in 1973), and some YouTuber with under 400 subscribers has been remixing her songs to give them an '80s vibe:





The official version of "Romeo" came out in 2007, and the second one I posted, "Sahte", came out in 2021! They're not as good, so I hope this remixer guy makes it big.
