Os Mutantes and As Mercenarias to name two.
Where is the good contemporary Korean Music? |

For good contemporary Korean music, try:
Sogyumo Acacia Band
http://www.myspace.com/sogyumoacaciaband
I found out about them at Pentaport, it's a guy and a girl, and it's a pretty good sound. |

Though not technically 'foreign', Theivery Corporation has many awesome non-English songs, ranging from bossanova to hip-hop to reggae styles. Their latest album, "Radio Retaliaton" kicks serious butt, if you into that lounge-y type of music...
Also, Mano Negra/Manu Chao do similar type of stuff in a harder rock version, mixing English/French/Spanish/Arabic, sometimes in the same song... |

Thanks! What kind of music is this? I'm at work on what I assume to be a soviet era PC of some kind. It has no speakers and myspace won't load on it (prolly blocked the site can't tell if it's cause the computer is so bad). |

Hmm not sure how I'd qualify their music! It's basically a duo with an acoustic guitar, a bit folky but they have an upbeat sound. My boyfriend is actually a music writer and he interviewed them for an article, we got to hang out with them and they're very nice, they love Sonic Youth and Neil Young. |

I've been into Caetano Veloso for a little while, but only one album--"C" it's called. Good stuff, guitar and vocal, really stripped down.
Also I dig Renato Corosone, Italian superstar of the '50's and 60's.
The soundtrack of "Steve Zissou and the Life Aquatic" has a few old good Bowie songs sung in Portugese by a brazilian guy. Kinda cool |

From Italy. Circa, early '70s
Adriano Celentano -Prisencolinensinainciusol
In an attempt to sell more records in English speaking countries, Adriano decided to sing in 'fake' English. That's phonetic gibberish to you and me. The video is outrageous. I love it.
The track surfaced again recently, albeit on the underground, thanks in part to this Greg Wilson re-edit, which retains most of the original. Turn it up and make some shapes. |
