Hmmmm....
Why am I not surprised? Ac ountry the size of Sweden gets every possible singer listed on here, yet the Arab world that has singers as much as the number of Swedish, gets a mention ONCE only, and it is because s/he is a native of Arabic. SHAME on ALL of you on this forum. I am OUT OF HERE! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Actually, there were two mentions: one on page 7, and one on page 16. If you can't even take the time to read the thread properly, how can we take this criticism seriously? Plus, I don't see you rectifying the situation by posting any suggestions, so I'll list some for you (despite not studying Arabic--bam, in your face! :) Cyrine--Law Bass Fi Aini; mellow pop Amr Mustafa--Ana Nseetik; sorrowful, but with movement Now children, let's please be nicer to each other as the New Year approaches! EDIT: For below, I do know what you mean: You are upset that a language with a much greater spread in terms of population has a much smaller spread culturally on this forum. However, this is not the correct thread for your rage: that would be the one on "language wusses." Here, again, the better way might have been to introduce us to more of the music. Who knows? Maybe someone will like a song so much that he/she will take up the language. Edited by Sprachjunge on 20 December 2009 at 8:18pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I don't think you have read and understood what I've written, either.

Surely the Finnish band Värttinä has been mentioned, but even if so, they deserve to be mentioned again. Karelian band that puts a twist on traditional folk music. They're amazing. They also speak the dialect of Finnish that I am learning, which is great. My favourite songs of their's:
Merten Kosijat Kauan Kulkenut Päivän Nousu Nostajani Niin Mie Mieltynen Mie Tahon Tanssia The official translations found on their website are waaaay off in most cases. Edited by kyssäkaali on 20 December 2009 at 10:01pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
