Thanks! That first one seems to be the best of the three.

jajdude: Mostly Turkish over the past while and now starting to put some amount of time into Persian, as the two actually complement each other quite well even though they're from different language families. Plus some dabbling here and there.

German has now been eclipsed by Spanish as the second-most studied foreign language in the UK, and a lot of the reason for that is that Germans speak English far too well for people to have the opportunity to get a lot of practice in, plus it doesn't have much of a cultural effect on places like the US anymore.

Plastic Bertrand's 'Ca Plane Pour Moi' is the best song in the history of the world.

Another nod for Manu Chao,

For the fans of chill-out, try Chambao (Spain) My favourite album is "Endorfinas de la mente, it's a nice chill/flamenco fusion

Also, really enjoy Mum (Iceland)

If you like post-rock - Savath and Savalas, Catalan band... they mix some folk melodies into their sound.. very nice
