International Music


Having a European-born fiancee has led me to listen to music from her country that I otherwise would have not listened to. If you are tired of English music, and crave something new, check out top music from bands\musicians across the globe!

Albanian : Adelina Ismajli is a hot singer, Sinan Hoxha is widely listened to and Bujar Qamili's lyrics are very contagious.

Italian : Try listening to Zucchero, Negrita, Luca Derisio and Mario Venuti for funky, music you will enjoy.

French : Nouvelle Vague {music is actually in English}, Daisybox, Superbus (although you may need a refresher in French to understand the lyrics, or you can try to decipher them using a translation program) But good music that shouldn't be overlooked.

Spain - Spain has unique and influential music the Western world could dig, including music from Mecano and Spain's David Villa.

India - Papon is widely popular, and Raghav Sachar has beats that infuse Western and Indian music smoothly, up for a listen is Bombay Rockers and Baba Sehgal. You'll be nodding your head to the rhythm in no time!
