    Some non-English music I enjoy, though not at the same time:

    Lisa Ekdahl - Vem Vet (Swedish) Nice catchy Swedish tune, maybe jazz?

    Samain et Shuait - Les Nomades (French and Anishinaabe) First Nations hip-hop

    Gwenno - Chwyldro (Kernewek) Folky dreamscapes in a functionally extinct language (they’re bringing it back, though).

    Moonchild Sanelly - Gwara Gwara (English and Xitsonga) Pop-funk-dance mixing international and indigenous traditions.

    Majid Soula - Win Terram (Tamazight) Electronic beats from a Berber.

    Jacques Dutronc - On nous Cache Tout, on nous Tout de Rein (French) A classic of French rock and roll.

    Manu Negra - Mala Vida (Spanish) Punk styled music by folks who like their anarchist forebears.

    San Salvador - Quau te Mena(Occitan) Occitanian folk traditions given new life.

    TUDI-VOICE - 囡仔你甘知 (Hokkien) - Socially active Taiwanese band in Chinese folk tradition with a modern spin.

    Beyond - Glorious Years (Hong Kong Cantonese) Cantopop legends.

    Sorry for the YouTube links.

      Yes, I imagine listening to all of this at the same time would be rather unpleasant.

        That’s a good question! It’s a large monopolitistic website run for profit by a mega-corp.

        It’s ideologically opposed to the Fediverse. We should try to use less monopolitistic platforms when we can.

        I’m glad to share.

        I’ve not visited North Africa, but got the impression Majid Soula was fairly well known - but that might just be in trendy spots in London and Paris that like to talk about the horrors of empire and colonisation.

        I’m not even sure when I first became aware of his music, but he’s been one that I’ve kept coming back to for some electronica-funk for the past 10 years or so.
