Inspirational Music II

I am fan of international music, I listen pretty much anything from any country, and really love it because you have an idea of the culture throughout its music. This time roaming away from Yann Tiersen's classical music in France which is a really inspiration when i'm working, I looked up to my music library and found something long-unheard, stepping onto hotter climates and different genre of music, I started to listen to Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, best known by his version of Judy Garland's Somewhere Over the Rainbow, although I love that version and it is my favourite, I do prefer when he sings in his language Hawaiian, a delightful language with outstanding music accompanying it.

Mahalo





Also, my girlfriend had a cd with some American songs, which feature almost none USA songs, but rather from small countries in Central and South America.

And the one I kept on listening and became one of my favourites is Andy Palacio and Adrian Martinez - Baba

And there I thought I was the only one who ever listend to songs in a different language from different countries. The first guy has a really good voice. Though I'm no personaly keen on the first song, the second one is rather catchy. Like the last one to :)
