Our main problem is the lack of information. Some of us (Scissorman, Dankrsta, Number9Dream, Ikvat, Petula, Vegangelica, me and others) are providing that info at the World Music section. But there's a "deficit" of German, Italian, Japanese and Scandinavian (in non-English languages) music.
Yeah, looks like a good start to me...

How about also...
... the former Eastern bloc countries (for the purpose of this, all lumped together, yeah, it's not fair, I know....)?
... north african/ arabic music?
... Israel?

Probably not an exhaustive list....and not that I'm trying to hijack the thread...
