Poi E - Patea Māori Club

My playlist of Armenian music is inappropriately huge. You will regret asking this question.

• Garabala - Habrban
• Serj Tankian ft. Larisa Ryan - Ari Im Sokhag
• Serj Tankian - Artsakh
• Garik and Sona - Mayro I do not have a huge crush on Sona Rubenyan shut up.
• Adana Project - Gini Lic maybe turn off the subtitles unless you hate Turkey as much as Armenia does…
• Sevak Amroyan - Yarkhushta aw fuck yeah
• Nare Gevorgyan - Mer Ergire

I have many, MANY more. I am not remotely Armenian, just a huge SOAD fan who fell down a youtube rabbit hole one day…

Kind of a joke but the song is catchy.

Salsa Tequila

The guy is a Norwegian comedian I think & he bet his friends that he could get a dumb song into the Billboard top 10 or something. I believe he succeeded in a few European countries.

The song is absolutely ridiculous considering he doesn’t speak Spanish, but it’s just a funny story.

Pretty much anything by Sigur Ros

I like most songs by Carla’s Dreams (Romanian/Moldovan + Russian). From eurovision, Shum (Ukrainian) and My sister’s crown (English+Ukrainian+Czech+Bulgarian) are pretty good. Slavic languages just sound nice in songs.

Also most pop in catalan (eg. La sortida, escriurem, Ara!).

For something rarer check out Pat Boy who sings in Mayan.
