Jumpintothefog asked: Hey! I’ve got more of a request. I was wondering if either you or your followers (or both! :p ) Could suggest me music groups who sing in French, Italian, Portugese, Finnish, Arab, Swedish, Hungarian, Polish—— to make it short, any language besides Spanish, English, Korean and Japanese? :) I want to fill my iTunes library with more languages and I know I can look on lastfm or youtube, but I’d rather hear recommendations. I don’t really care about the genre either :) Merci beaucoup!I’m just going to go through my iTunes library and list off the bands I have that qualify.
