Some random albums. The only thing they have in common is, I don't speak the language, so I just enjoy the music. To make it easier, I have provided some sound sources: Apanhador Só - Meio que tudo é um http://apanhadorso.bandcamp.com/album/meio-que-tudo-um-2017" rel="nofollow - http://apanhadorso.bandcamp.com/album/meio-que-tudo-um-2017 Gaye Su Aykol - İstikrarlı Hayal Hakikattir http://gayesuakyol.bandcamp.com/album/stikrarl-hayal-hakikattir" rel="nofollow - http://gayesuakyol.bandcamp.com/album/stikrarl-hayal-hakikattir Jarboli - Zabava Koenjihyakkei - Angherr Shisspa Juana Molina - Wed 21 http://juanamolina.bandcamp.com/album/wed-21" rel="nofollow - http://juanamolina.bandcamp.com/album/wed-21 Le Orme - Felona e Sorona Nadah El Shazly - Ahwar http://nadahelshazly.bandcamp.com/album/ahwar" rel="nofollow - http://nadahelshazly.bandcamp.com/album/ahwar Sigur Rós - Ágćtis byrjun Shugo Tokumaru - In Focus http://shugotokumarumusic.bandcamp.com/album/in-focus" rel="nofollow - http://shugotokumarumusic.bandcamp.com/album/in-focus

Very nice poll; do you regularly explore music from all over the world? I gave two minutes or so to everyone I didn't know already, which of course is not enough, but on first impression Nadah En Shazly is really on a different planet from the others. I will vote for her and for sure listen to the whole album and probably buy it (at the end of the day Ágćtis byrjun may still be my favourite out of these but that one will pick up enough votes without me). Juana Molina also made some impression. |

Yes, I sometimes do some researching, and I came across many of these albums more or less by coincidence. |

| I am surprised to see Nadah En Shazly. I had just heard her for the first time earlier this year as she had a performance/Q&A at a nearby university. She gave a solo performance incorporating looping and samples to support her vocals. Really good speaker with an interesting background. I will give her a vote. |

Le Orme - Felona e Sorona (Italian) nice idea for a thread  ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Hi, This is a very tough thing, specially for a lot of folks on PA, who (sometimes) seem to be somewhat ethnocentric. I lost all that idea and thought the day (11 years old!!!) I heard Boris Christoph sing "Boris Godunov" ... in its native language, and from that day on, I have not really had any issues with a lot of the foreign language anything, and my collection has over 30 or 40 different languages in it. All of a sudden operas in Italian, French, German, Spanish ... were fine with me, and my biggest surprise was to find, in the early 70's how many people could not handle foreign languages, including one time at Moby Disk, some guy totally trashing Le Orme, for not having the ability or desire to sing in English, and a month later, Peter Hammill had come up with a translation ... which is nice, but really ... the original is so much smoother that the comparison is sad. You don't sit here and trash Renata Tebaldi's voice, or Maria Callas, or Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, or a Mario Del Monaco, Beniamino Gigli (try his Tosca!!!), and so many others ... because they all sang in another language ... and did so beautifully and most of it is recorded. All in all, if you are concerned with the "language", I have my reservations about one's ability to enjoy music in all its different permutations! As Guy Guden said of a lot of his show ... "it's a foreign movie without the subtitles!" ... and it's beauty never escapes me! And the MUSIC ... speaks so well all around, that in the end, a lot of rock music seems disjointed. FUN BIT ... turn the sound down an no subtitles and watch a mid period Fellini film ... you'll still laugh and not have to worry about a "story", and get totally into the irony that FF lived for ... try the papal fashion show if you can handle it! Or the opening of Intervista!

Hi, Nobody is concerned in this thread (and elsewhere) about the foreign language singing. So you've made another pointless post, a bit insulting, will you just choose the song you enjoyed the most and just vote for it and tell us who that is, like everyone else?! Stop patronizing the rest of us?!

Very interesting selection! I sampled through the albums I didn't know (listening to at least three tracks of each) and they all have something interesting/compelling. The ones I knew before are Le Orme (never really clicked with me), Sigur Rós (wonderful album) and Nadah El Shazly. I listened to El Shazly's album when a track came by in one of the Interactive polls some time back (I guess it was you who suggested it?) and just listened to it again a couple of weeks ago. A very special album and it gets my vote. (BTW, you might be interested by the work of Maurice Louca who plays on the couple of the tracks; El Shazly sings on his album https://mauricelouca.bandcamp.com/album/elephantine" rel="nofollow - Elephantine , which is also a beautiful album, in my opinion) Juana Molina's and Gaye Su Aykol's albums are the other stand-outs for me. Thanks for introducing them here!

^ Thanks. Listening to the first track now. Not uninteresting - it evolves slowly, which I like. |

Voted Le Orme. They're on another level compared to the rest. I listened to everyone at least a bit. Koenjihyakkei and Sigur Rós I knew already. I used to like Koenjihyakkei, but nowadays they get on my nerves. Never understood the charm of Sigur Rós. Of the rest, Nadah El Shazly sounded very interesting and I'll have to listen to her more. Good poll! Cheers for including youtube and bandcamp links.
