You have to do Devandra Branhart's Pensando en ti! That's a great song.

How about Ninety Nine Luft Ballons by Nena, and Oye Como Va by Tito Puente.

Betece by the Africando All Stars

La Cocinera by Mala Rodriguez

Or anything from the l'augbere espagnole soundtrack...has anyone else seen that movie? It's not really that amazing but the soundtrack is great.

Great job as always guys - my non-english recommendation is "Aicha" by Cheb Khaled.

I had an international roommate in college and this was his favorite song!

Keep up the great work!

I was wondering if you have and could Play Twiggy by Pizzicato Five? I haven't heard that in years, but it definately isn't English

Please, please, please play Sleepy Maggie by Ashley McIsaac. Awesome song with the angelic voice of Mary Jane Lamond singing in gaelic. Plus I'm sleepy.

I need some hip hop in other languages! Here are my suggestions, but any else would be appreciated as well!

Loco en el coco - cypress hill
J'suis blanc - Kamini

Mercedes Sosa - Luna Tucumana (Argentina)
CSS - Acho Um Pouco Bom (Brazil)
Oi Va Voi - A Csitari Hegyek Allat (Hungarian folk song)

It would make my whole year to hear Sidi H'bibi by Mano Negra on the radio! It's older but so fantastic, and the only "alternative" song I know in Arabic.


I second MC Solaar for hip hop en Francais!

Posted by Lori | October 23, 2009 9:10 AM

How about The Beatles "Sie Liebt Dich" which is "She Loves You" in German. It's off the Rarities album. It's a fun song to listen to.

Posted by Marianna Johnson | October 23, 2009 9:16 AM

How about 'Jaan Pehechaan Ho' by Mohammad Rafi (found on the Ghost World soundtrack)...or MC Solar (Solaar Pleure always works for me).

Feliz Navidad! It's snowing.. sort of. Why not get into the Christmas spirit?

Posted by Kelli | October 23, 2009 9:19 AM

How about gypsy kings bamboleo.

Posted by Peter | October 23, 2009 9:21 AM

Any chance of seeing some Yelle? "Mon meilleur ami" is a good one.

The Gypsy Kings - Hotel California

Posted by Kyle J | October 23, 2009 9:36 AM

"Cale Bari Dub Bari" & "Tiempo de Drumba: by Ojos de Brujo off their Bari/Remezclas de la Casa album are great. Their gypsy, flamenco, hip hop, and pretty sexy in general.
