Default Other foreign artists you like

I know we are from all over, I am talking about artists who sing primarily in a language you do not understand. we al speak English here so I am not really talking about British, Australian, or American singers. You don't have to like them like we all like Alizée either. Just name some other cool artists that most of us probably do not know so we can expand our horizons further.

I am fond of a couple Korean goups from when i lived there (rcs may know some of them).

1. S.E.S - I do not know if they are still around but it is a female pop trio. Some very good voices and good beats to their music. Click here

2. Jaorimm - Korean rock band with female vocalist. I like them very mcuh and saw them in concert in 2003. They are not particularly famous even in Korea as rock is not very popular over there (or wasn't I've been away for almost 2 years now). Sorry, no link at this time.

3. Lee Jung Hyun - Very talented femal singer I have all her albums. She really performs live, costume and very artistic dancing. Her voice is almost scratchy (which I like sometimes) and her music is usually slightly angry. Her first albm was very techno-like but she has evolved to feature almost Spanish music on her 5th album. Yes, she has a microphone on her finger. Click here


Please share!

I like Roine Stolt, a great guitar player from Sweden. His band is called the Flower Kings.

As far as foreign artists are concerned, I like a lot of Shakira's Spanish stuff, and I actually just stumbled across Najoua Belyzel, who seems great, through a link someone posted here yesterday actually

LOL that video of Lee Jung Hyun reminded me of Dr. Evil because of the way she was holding the mic to her mouth xD.

Just chatting with my Korean friend. Update: SES no longer exists, one of the girls is solo now, another is now an actress, and the 3rd is AWOL. Jaorim is still around, the female lead singer is recently married to a VJ. Lee Jung Hyun is still putting out stuffbut has apparenty put on some weight.

Basshunter (sweden)
DJ Alligator(Iranian)
Eric Prydz(sweden)
The Beatles (UK)
Darude(Finland)
O-Zone(Moldova)
Evermore(New Zealand)
Booba(France, Rap)
The Who(UK)
Haddaway(Germany)
Teddybears(sweden, cobrastyle is my favorite song by them)
The Prodigy(UK)
ABBA(sweden)
Hillsong United(Australia)
AC/DC( I know they are popular in the states, but they still came from Australia )
Vengaboys(netherlands)
All I can think of right now, Ill update it later after I listen to my playlists


I know some of the bands/groups were famous in the US, but they were still foreign at one time

For all you Anime nerds: Origa, she sings the intro to Ghost in the Shell (both gigs) Mostly sings in Russian, but has a few in Japaneese and I think 3 in english.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origa

Also, another russian group: t.A.T.u though most of their songs are in english, their accents are beautiful. Funny side note, I first saw/heard them on MTV while in France (strausburg... think that's spelt right)

Hope you enjoy.

Number me in haste, it's a shame
This eagerness to change
