Would you listen to music in a language you didn't understand?

I would, and I do. I personally look at the voice as just another instrument. A guitar doesn't spell out for you what point its trying to get across, its up to you to decide and to just listen and enjoy. I think theres a certain mystery and interest that comes with a song in a different language. Some of my all-time favorite songs are by Buena Vista Social Club. I have no idea what they are singing about, I think thats why I enjoy it so much. Its up to me to decide what they are singing about. I don't want to know what they are singing about because I have conjured up in my mind what it think its about and I'm afraid if I look at a translation, I would be dissapointed. Anyway, a beautiful voice is a beautiful voice whether you can understand what its saying or not. Just my thoughts.
