oh tons, absolutely tons!! Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, every song of his i can get, i dont understand spanish but i listen to Reggaeton and shit, Aziz Mian, the Sabri Bros...hmm, what else??? i went through this entire thing where i listened to tons of these Native American songs from like war dances and morning songs...its beautiful, it really is...lots of african stuff...entire genres actually.

theoretically i prefer music in languages i dont understand, means that much more to me because it gets down to like...the real base appeal of music in the first place which is sort of a cerebral thing. thats what REALLY means something, when passion transcends and communicates above barriers like language. its like when you're a kid and you listen to music (as i did with nirvana and lots of gnr songs) i had no idea what they were about lyrically but...the appeal came through the music and what i percieved as the passions of the artist.

I'm fluent in Hebrew, so I love Israeli music as much as American. Aviv Geffen is a songwriting talent near-equivalent to Bob Dylan (clearly not quite, but close), and HaYehudim (The Jews) are one of the best hard rock groups I have ever heard. They also put on a killer show - I saw them at a 100,000 person rally a few months ago (I was in the front) and they totally blew me away. Look em up on YouTube.
