Music in languages other than English Options

[Pokey]

So I've been thinking lately how I do enjoy listening to music which is sung in languages other than English. Some English speaking people don't like it as they enjoy being able to understand what's being said. Sometimes I'll go and specifically look up what a song is about and a translation, other times such as German songs I'll be able to pick up a bit of it. But most of all I prefer just listening to the voice purely as an instrument in itself and appreciating it without trying to understand it. So as we got quite a few people who come from countries where I'd guess English isn't a first language I thought maybe we could share some music that we like in other languages?

Going first, this is what promted me to make this thread ... I just picked up Mike Patton's new album Mondo Cane, it's an album of 50's/60's Italian pop songs done with an orchestra. I love Patton's range as he goes from crazy rock and metal and rap singer of bands like Faith No More, Fantomas, Mr Bungle, Lovage etc ... to something like this:

errr, fine.

One of my fave Russian bands, The Bricks. In 1996 they were the first in my country to start hitting hardcore and nu metal.
This one is from their latest works, one of the serious songs in fact.Most of their tracks are very funny in terms of language

They either play stoner, hardcore, or pure old school hiphop.
