Here's a cheerful Icelandic tune that was in the running for representing Iceland in the Eurovision contest but didn't make it all the way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCJxAoR--us&fmt=18

I was looking through this thread, hopeful, wishing, and dubious. I am ASHAMED!!!!
ALMOST NO ARAB MUSIC!?
It kills me to see that some of the best music in the world is missing from this very thread.
My favorite artist is probably Haifa Wehbe, she is Lebanese. Very mixed music. Also, if you are into Persian music,
check out Arash. Amazing singing and instrumental.

I've been wondering the same thing, I've been trying to find Dutch music with little success until I found a Dutch punk rock band De Heideroosjes:
Lekker Belangrijk
Iedereen is gek
Ik wil niks!

Your welcome, and thanks for the Finnish songs. I'm trying to find more music in Finnish, much of what I find is death metal, (nothing against death metal, but I want different music styles as well) or sung in English, which doesn't help me learn Finnish pronunciation.
To make the links, look in the reply box above the statement "Please remember our motto when posting:
'If you can't spell it, don't write it.'" there should be 8 little icons, the fourth one from the left will have a globe and what looks like a chain link, click on it and it will tell you what to do.

More Finnish music Jenni Vartiainen Ihmisten edessä; and some more Dutch music Stef Bos Ik mis jou. I would have posted this one sooner if I hadn't forgot that I knew about him. He also sings in Afrikaans.
