JUANES!

anyone else exposed to this guy's music via spanish classes? even the chinese radio station that I've been listening to plays his music lol.


his popular songs are pretty catchy: me enamora, a dios le pido, gotas de agua dulce. He has a couple of duets with Nelly Furtado, but I found the songs to be somewhat mediocre.


so what are some of your favorite foreign artists?

Juanes=

Hm, let's see.


Alejandro/ Vicente Fernandez
Los Panchos
Los Tres Reyes

....

I could go on with this Spanish list forever.

OMG JAN! <3 you for answering HAHA.

I like Koda Kumi's Wonderland

rainie yang.

Alizee, a French singer. And Jay Chou

hahaha

I really do like this one with Nelly Furtado. It's really catchy.

Astrud Gilberto (Brazil) is one of my all time favorite artists. I had one of her songs up on my cB Profile for a long time (The Girl From Ipanema). Sample

Fela Kuti (Nigeria) is another one of my favorites. Great fun to listen to, fantastic beats and melodies. I highly recommend checking him out. Here's a LastFM link, that showcases a tad more.

And from Japan - UFO (United Future Organization). They've been a favorite of mine for several years. LastFM link for UFO

Rebecca, my radio station has a specialty show of Brazil called The Show From Impanema, that I'd podcast a lot. Haha.

I like a lot of Swedish artists, and a couple of my favorite bands at the moment are from Denmark: Efterklang and Slaraffenland. And they're going to be in Atlanta next week!

Eh, a lot of the stuff I listen to isn't from the US, so if I were to name them off it'd be a rather long list.

^ OH YEAH swedish artists.

I really like La Camisa Negra by Juanes XD I used to obsess over that song in 10th grade.

I know quite a few German artists. Omg, German rap!

jrock bands ftw! especially alice nine even though they aren't that good but i love the vocalist =]

^Yep, I love JROCK!

I love Younha (jpop/kpop, but sometimes on the rock-ish side?). I heard "Houkiboshi" and was all ZOMG!!! and went on a downloading frenzy.

I tend to stay away from jrock because of the, uh, growliness and screaming. XD

wasn't houkiboshi an ending song for bleach?

Yeah, it was. (I love Bleach, but I've never watched the anime and didn't find out 'til waaaayyyyy late. XD)

i know a french artist: Zazie
but i only like one of her songs

i also know a danish artist(s?) called Nik og Jay. i love their song Boing and Laekker.

oh, and like a gazillion spanish artists xD

My guilty pleasure is a German band called Tokio Hotel. =x

I also listen to a lot of French artists, such as Corneille (well, 'kay, french-canadian, but it still applies), Raphael, Garou, Emmanuel Moire, Francoise Hardy, to name a few.

Filipino bands, such as Parokya ni Edgar, Sarah Geronimo, Regine Velasquez, Christian Bautista, Rachel Alejandro, etc.

Italian singers and artists... Including Antonello Venditti, Subsonica, Dean Martin, Goffredo Mameli, Mario Lanza, Vasco Rossi, etc.

Ooh, and not to mention Belanova!<3

There are more, but those are the particulars I can name at the top of my head. And of course, jpop/rock and kpop/rock singers, which would be too long if I listed it. =s

Juanes ROCKS. I love his music and he's such a cool guy!

I also like: Ricardo Arjona & Alacranes Musical & Mana

SHAKIRA!

MaNa!! (BEST BAND EVER!)

MARC ANTHONY!

ALEJANDRO FERNANDEZ!
