Most things by Snow Tha Product - start with 'Butter' or 'No Cap In My Captions'.

Starts off in English but really kicks in when it turns Welsh.

patio song by Gorkys Zygotic Mynci

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

I really like Hippie Hourrah out of Montreal - this song has been on repeat in my house for a while now:

Ruina Imperii by Sabaton

[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

A lot of j-pop

[–] dez@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Mostly songs from C. Tangana , especially the songs from his "concert" on TinyDesk.

[–] Jackthelad@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

This, which I remember from the FIFA 06 soundtrack: https://youtu.be/M-rZ3602Lm8?feature=shared

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Anything by kælan mikla out of Iceland is good. Definitely Draumaudis/dream dance

Aural Vampire from Japan is a lot of fun too. Hard to pick just one. But kerguelen vortex is a good starting point.

[–] MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub 3 points 2 years ago

I like most songs by Carla's Dreams (Romanian/Moldovan + Russian). From eurovision, Shum (Ukrainian) and My sister's crown (English+Ukrainian+Czech+Bulgarian) are pretty good. Slavic languages just sound nice in songs.

Also most pop in catalan (eg. La sortida, escriurem, Ara!).

For something rarer check out Pat Boy who sings in Mayan.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

No idea what this song name is Infected Mushroom - תרקוד לנצח. It's in Hebrew I believe. No idea what it's about, but I think it sounds great. Also Leonard Dembo - Mutadzi Ngaaregererwe. It's just super chill. It's in an African language, can't remember which.

[–] theywilleatthestars@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'm enough of a lyrics person that the language barrier is a pretty big issue when it comes to music but HATRIÐ MUN SIGRA and I si demà no tornara are both undeniable bangers
