Do you listen to music from other countries?

[imabrat]

I think there's been a thread like this before, but I can't find it.
Do you listen to music by artists in different countries? It doesn't matter the genre?


Right now I'm totally in love with Girls Aloud, a girl group from the UK. Pisses me off because I can't find any of their recent songs on the US iTunes. I also love Juanes from Colombia and El Canto Del Loco from Spain. Akcent from (Romania? Bulgaria? Hungary?) somewhere in Eastern Europe make some pretty catchy techno-ish songs.

 

[Tinkerbell424]

Yeah, but not on a daily basis.
I love Italian music.

 

[cannp123165]

I am from the UK, and I mainly listen to US music.

 

[nerdylightbulb]

I guess at least one of my bands has to be from the UK and I know one I listen to is definitly Canadian. xDDDD

 

[CrazyChik]

Well I listen to bands from America and such but other than that no. I just got back from the french alps though and nearly all their music in shops and on the streets is in english, we weren't in majorly touristy parts either.

 

[JarethDrakul]

Most of the artists I listen to are from different countries:
Sopor Aeternus - Germany
Emilie Autumn - America
Blutengel - Austria
Angelspit - Australia
Theatres Des Vampires - Italy
Schwarz Stein/Kaya - Japan
etc.

I've never really thought so much about where they're from or what language they speak as long as the music is beautiful

 

[telescope]

Yes, I sometimes listen to Briskeby who's from Norway and Wendycode who's from France. Sometimes random Techno artists from Sweden.

I will admit that I find myself liking my parent's music...My mom loves Juanes and I listen to his albums with my her xD I like La Oreja de Van Gogh from Spain, they're pretty cool My dad likes those classic 70's guys like Camilo Sesto (Spain), Jose Jose (Mexico), & Julio Iglesias (Spain); I like listening to them too, my dad even chose a Julio Iglesias song for my quince años. Edith Piaf from France is amazing; I like listening to her too There's lots of bands from the UK that I listen to, they're bands like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, etc, bands like that, and then there's Late of the Pier, a new rave/electronica group. & Crystal Castles (new rave) are from Canada, so yeah, that's all I can think of...

 

[JulielovesDisney]

I adore traditional German music.
And I also do like French pop music.
Oh, and African tribal music is pretty fab as well.
And Italian music...

Well, most of my favourite bands/singers are from different countries. For example, The Script are from Ireland

I like some stuff from here but not much really. Girls Aloud, The Saturdays, Leona Lewis etc. are okay.

Oh, btw Sonya - if you like Girls Aloud you should give The Saturdays a listen

 

[cra_z_dude_17]

I like a few bands from Ireland-based such as Flogging Molly and Droppick Murphys. I also like a ton of bands from the UK.

Flogging Molly's singer (and a few band members) may be from Ireland, but they're from California as a whole. And DKM is from Boston.

I love music from...

France: Christophe Mae, Emmanuel Moire, Camille, Jenifer, Fatal Bazooka, Yelle, etc.
Japan: Utada Hikaru, Kaori Natori, Core of Soul, etc.
Canada: Finger Eleven, Broken Social Scene, etc.
UK: Arctic Monkeys, The Clash, The Who, Interpol, etc.

I like music from all over. I love traditional Chinese/Japanese/African music. World music is so much fun!

 

[acesupercoolme]

Yes, I listen to music from all ofver the world.
I especially love African music.

 

[Fatphil32]

Barenaked Ladies and Sum 41 for sure. I've seen BNL in concert three times. Both bands are from Canada. Then there's Coldplay [England] which I listen to occasionally.

And then I use to listen to HIM [Finland], Arctic Monkeys [England], Radiohead [England], and Busted [England]
