Music is music to me. Im not into lyrics that much anyway. There's no denying a great song with good lyrics but a language barrier has never stopped me from enjoying good music, no matter where it comes from. Sometimes you can feel a song's intent through the performance even if you can't understand the words. One of my favorites is Youssou N'dor from Senegal who has worked with Peter Gabriel. He sings in his native language, mbalax and french. Also Israeli pop singer, Noa who sings in her native language, yemenite hebrew as well as arabic, french, spanish, italian, thai and english.
