if yes, what language?
 
My car radio is usually tuned to Mexican/Spanish-language stations.
They may be broadcasting in California or south of the border.

I just like the passion and fun in their music.
 
spanish....

MoZo

eta: i'm also fond of some chinese traditional music as well as other european musical styles....both with voice and without.
 
I have a Rammstein cd. I speak no German but I like it.
 
Opera/classical. Italian. French. German. Russian. That counts, surely. Foreign pop music, no. But then I don't listen to much pop in my OWN language, so...

I do the same, as well as sacred classical pieces in Latin.
 
In Texas, it is easy to find Spanish-speaking radio channels, and I will listen to the music sometimes. I also have several CDs of Spanish guitar music, and Celtic music.
 
Does Loreena McKennitt count? She has an amazing voice and I love the musical instruments used.
 
I listen to a lot of french and german music... I also like Gaelic :)
 
I love the Canadian Tenors. They sing in English, Italian, Maltese and French. I just love the sound of their voices. Their music and voices fill my car with such positive energy while I drive.

LOL! No, I don't think she would count. Although she IS amazing. And I was lucky enough to see her in concert in '95-ish? when she was doing her "Mask and Mirror" tour. I caught her in Boulder, CO. She was a stellar performer too, with an excellent band behind her.
I'm glad to hear that she's back amongst the living, after having kind of fallen off the face of the earth there after the tragic death of her fiance in a sailing accident.

Her music is so fun to sing if you have the range and "feel" folk type music. Back in another life, we (my ex and I) worked up a rocker version of "Moon Cradle" that used the chord progression(at least it was the chord progression that Michael Hedges used when playing it), of "All Along the Watchtower" between the verses. A strange genesis but a cool piece....

Yeah, me too, I just forgot to mention Latin. I've SUNG wads of Latin actually, and although I'm not Catholic, I could probably chant the gloria at will, I've sung it so many times. ;))
 
Love me some Euro-Dance music although most of it is English (Cascada DHT Infernal) but I also love Yelle and for a good laugh Fatal Bazooka (both french artists)

haha I didn't think so, thought I'd try tho. I'm horribly unsophisticated. I just kinda listen to whatever.
 
I grew up listening to a lot of Persian music, which is amazing. I also listen to some French and German music (I'm such a Tokio Hotel fangirl), and my years in Texas have left me a little addicted to Tejano.

When were at the in-laws' house, there's always Vietnamese music on, as well.
