    Pick a song in your native language

    I listen to a lot of music in English, but some of my favourite songs are in my native language(s). I rarely recommend them to anyone, but a friend once asked me to recommend an "entry level" song in my native language - such as, what absolute banger would I send someone as an introduction to this music?

    It turns out that's a fun game, especially when played in a real multicultural group (such as online, like here). So, cK, what's your entry level song?

    (Another fun level, especially for people whose native language is English - what's the entry level song for your country/region/family's culture?)

    Edit: forgot mine, because I was a tired bastard. It took some choosing but this is one of my favourites, and pretty catchy too. (The language is Kazakh!)

    Oh that sounds like fun!
    Tbh I don't listen to music in my native language often, and even when I do it's mostly Disney dubbed songs (lol), but there are still quite a lot of songs that I love. So here's an entry-level one:


    OH forgot to say, it's Hebrew ofc lol.

    Oh, that's a great entry-level song! I have Israeli cousins and have listened to a bunch of Hebrew music, but I hadn't heard that one before.

    (Disney dubs, you say? I've heard "Let It Go" in English way too many times but the Hebrew dub is 10/10. )

    The Hebrew Encanto OST is amazing, if you like dubbed disney. Seriously, they've put so much effort into preserving the rhymes etc, it's unbelievable.

    I don't listen to music in my native language (Arabic) tbh, but the one that always stood out to me was was a song by Nancy Ajram:



    This was really popular when I was visiting Lebanon, my cousins used to blast this in the car when we drove haha.



    *that's rough buddy*

    Ok, this was HARD, there are so many iconic songs in spanish. But if I had to choose one, I think I'd choose Torero from Chayanne.



    FUN FACT, this song fits almost perfectly with many anime opening sequences LOL, and it's so funny because the lyrics also fit with what's going on in the video Here are some of my favorites: (spoilered)



    There is no trash cannot, only
    TRASH CAN



    Special thanks to lyrichord for the amazing userbar avatar & honeycomb for the cutest drawing!

    Man I had to think long and hard about what song to post I have so many I like!

    I hope this counts though! I recently was trying to learn Lithuanian and found this artist Monika Marija and just been obsessed with her from the day I found her.
    She has some English and Lithuanian songs and this song in English just really speaks to me! The lyrics are very good and it has been a good reminder to me to keep going.



    And I figured I would also post my favorite of her songs in Lithuanian! I think Lithuanian is such a beautiful language
