MUSIC WORLDWIDE

It is obvious that we can enjoy listening to songs in a language that we don’t speak, as proven by global hits such as “Gangnam Style” (Korean) or “Despacito” (Spanish), but this doesn't mean that we can or know how to sing them. However, we try. Spanish, French and Portuguese are a few of the appealing languages in music that English speakers try to sing along to. Here’s a list of non-English songs that are worthy of a listen:

Spanish

Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee - Despacito

Enrique Iglesias - Bailando

J Balvin ft. Willy William - Mi Gente

Shakira ft. Maluma - Chantaje

Daddy Yankee - Gasolina

French

Stromae - Alors on dance

Maitre Gims - Bella

L’Algérino - Les menottes

Lartiste ft. Awa - Chocolat

Zaho - C’est chelou

Arabic

Najwa Karam - Ya Baie

El Tannoura - Fares Karem

Saad Lamjarred - Lamaallem

Boshret Kher - Husain Al Jassmi

MINA - Douzi

To end this amazing topic we’ve brought to you the exclusive new Korean group that’s blowing the world and revolutionizing every corner of the planet. This K-pop boy-band formed by seven members is "Bangtan Sonyeondan" more known as BTS and they come all the way from South Korea to take over America, perform on the most privileged music shows and win various awards. But most importantly they won the award for top social artist (image) when they attended the Billboard Music Awards, beating out the perennial winner Justin Bieber. Describing their award as a “dream come true,” BTS shared that they hope it will help pave the way for other K-pop artists in the future.

They are Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Rap Monster, Jimin, V and Jungkook, and they are here to stay!
