Favorite Foreign Artists

[JanieDough]

I was listening to some music on my computer, and I realized I have a lot of international music.

What's your favorites?

It's also a chance for people of other countries on this board to see who makes our cut in our country.


I like Edith Piaf, Les Innocents, Khaled, MC Solaar....all I can think is French right now.

Oh - MIA, Brazilian Girls, Cibo Matto...Lata Mangeshkar
