Whats your favorite style of music from another country?

I like some of the Japanese songs that they have at the beginning and end credits of certain Anime.

I like Italian Music its pretty cool

Viva Italia

i have to admit i love blues and jazz... and being from europe i can chose american music, cant i? :D

Well, firstly, I don't live in the US, so...

Aside from UK and US, though, it would probably be something along the lines of Scottish or Irish folk music, Polish jazz, and most African guitar music.

French chansons. Edith Piaf is fucking metal.

Also, I loved 'Hymns of the 49th Parallel'. So Canadian too.

Finally, a thread about world music!

It's gotta be a tie between US/UK. I mean, The Beatle, Queen, The Who, The Stone...then in the US we got Hendrix, Grace Slick, Aerosmith...

So yeah.

French chansons. Edith Piaf is metal.

Didn't she write "La vie en rose"? If so, great song.

I do enjoy French music, but I love Indian music a lot too, especially their musicals.

Aferorndo talima tormora moramora intento pase i ta! Seem seem otlo seta Palaro Palaro!De tendoes al ti atima recodoes antoballe Derleno!Da parta monti amore.Oh rani oh oh cantiari oh oh oh.Mama Laonia de Angelo! Pendoes I andase recanila Mama Laonia! Abreta lokin chila onta semdi Canada.Souli so leor basea palaro monti ami amiro. Italian Music is the best

Yup! She's a very interesting character. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Piaf)

Hmmm Why does nobody like Mexican music?

I belly dance, so I spend a lot of time listening to Middle Eastern music.

Brit pop > American pop by far

I'm with Neaness, middle eastern soundz totally rock.

these answers are all good, I still cant believe nobody picked Mexican Music

I actually adore Russian music, especially the Russian red army choir. I especially like continental Classical music, e.g Mozart and Beethoven as well. For contemporary I like good old homegrown British stuff. Hate Urban and Country, it should be ended.

afro-cuban drumming

i had the chance to visit a hole-in-the-wall club in miami a couple years ago when some of the masters of the art were playing

the rhythms are so complex that i couldnt follow them all i could do was immerse myself in the all consuming sounds. it was an amazing evening.

Oh I forgot I also like Jamaican music Reggie is good

Techno music from many European nations (in particular Romania) are quite good, German are great though, Rammstein are the best!

Spanish dance music. It has a lot of positive associations for me, now. I'm happy when I listen to it, simple as that.

Why isn't there an Indonesian option? They have some kick-ass music, I even like most of their 'pop'!

And what about Japan?! They rock too! Are you just kinda cutting out asia? korean music is ok-ish too!

Most traditional Mexican music is a varient of the Polka, which is popular all over central and eastern Europe: Germans, Czechs, Poles, Rus, Slovaks, et all all have their own versions. Mexican music is heavily influenced by the Spanish, whom in turn were heavily influenced by the Austrians.

I would've picked UK music if it were available.

UK as in The Beatles, UK as in Judas Priest, UK as in Spice Girls, or UK as in Edward Elgar? :D

Indian Classical music and Cuban Jazz.

Generally, Scandinavian metal and Irish/Scottish folk. However, I really don't care where music is from, as long as I enjoy it.

I like Mexican/Latin American stuff like Santana, Scandinavian (Finnish, Swedish etc) Metal, African drumming, various types of Classical Music from places including Russia and Germany and Flamenco guitarists can be great.

Mexican music is quite different then spanish music
