Non-English Language Albums and Songs Poll (Nominations Thread)

Post by Jackson »

AMF's first-ever poll dedicated to non-English language music is now open! This is the nomination stage of what will be a two-stage poll.

Here's how it works:
1. Nominations: You can nominate up to 30 albums and 30 songs for the poll. To save everyone from having to make "obvious" nominations, the top 50 albums and songs ranked on AM will be automatically included. A running list of all nominations is included in the post below.
2. Eligibility: To be eligible for this poll, albums/songs need to have sung vocals in a primary language other than English. Instrumentals are not eligible. Artists from non-English speaking countries that are sung in English (like most songs by Bjork, Daft Punk, or Can) are not eligible unless they also record in another language (like Kraftwerk or Christine & The Queens). For works that are borderline (like "The Girl from Ipanema", which I've deemed eligible), we'll make a judgement call on whether they should be included based on a few factors (is around 50% or above sung in another language? what country is the artist from? do they typically sing in English or other languages?). See this thread for a list of all AM-ranked albums and songs that I believe fit the criteria.
3. Deadline: The deadline to make nominations is May 31, 2021.
4. Stage 2: After the nomination stage, there will be a second stage in which you'll rank your favorite albums and songs from the list of nominees. There will be plenty of time to vote in this stage as the goal of this two-stage format is to encourage everyone to discover new works they haven't heard before.

Let me know of any questions!

Re: Non-English Language Albums and Songs Poll (Nominations Thread)

Post by Gillingham »

I only later found out 20 albums were eligible instead of 30.
I tried to add the language in which the album is sung, but don't know all of it to be honest.

1. Oranssi Pazuzu - Mestarin kynsi (Finnish)
2. Qujaku - Qujaku (Japanese)
3. Novos Baianos - Acabou Chorare (Portuguese)
4. Paavoharju - Laulu laakson kukista (Finnish)
5. Wardruna - Kvitravn (Norwegian)
6. Atahualpa Yupanqui - Camino del Indio (Spannish)
7. Djeli Moussa Diawara - Yasimika (?)
8. Oranssi Pazuzu - Värähtelijä (Finnish)
9. AfroCubism - AfroCubism (Spannish/Bambara)
10. Ali Farka Touré - The River (?)

11. Oumou Sangaré - Moussolou (Bambara)
12. Bombino - Nomad (?)
13. Xylouris White - Mother (Greek)
14. Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba - Ba Power (Bambara)
15. Salif Keita - Moffou (?)
16. Sólstafir - Ótta (Icelandic)
17. Cheikh Lô - Balbalou (Wolof/French)
18. Clau Aniz - Filha de mil mulheres (Portuguese)
19. Ali Farka Touré - The Source (?)
20. Kauan - Ice Fleet (Finnish)

21. Ballaké Sissoko - Djourou (French)
22. Sangre de Muérdago - Xuntas (Galician)
23. Tinariwen - Emmaar (?)
24. Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni ba - Jama Ko (French/?)
25. N Hardem - Verdor (Spannish)
26. Mdou Moctar - Ilana: The Creator (?)
27. Ichiko Aoba - Windswept Adan (Japanese)
28. Ladysmith Black Mambazo - Inkanyezi Nezazi (?)
29. Boudewijn de Groot - Hoe Sterk Is de Eenzame Fietser (Dutch)
30. Natalia Lafourcade - Un canto por México vol. 1 (Spannish)

I was in doubt with the likes of Goat, Otayonni, Tony Allen & Hugh Massekela, Fishmans and Om, but I tried to be strict.

Question:
Will all the nominations move to Round 2, where we will have to rank all of them, or are the lists getting points and the ones with the most points will get in?
I hope this is clear...

The intent is that all of the nominations will make Round 2, and then everyone will submit lists with their favorites out of those. I'm hoping for hundreds of nominated albums/songs, so the goal is to allow for discovery of new works in Round 2 but not to requiring you to listen to and rank every nominated work like in the decade poll. I hope this makes sense!

And Gillingham, I kept the albums nominations list smaller than songs so it's more manageable, but if folks want me to make them both 30 I can change that.

I understand. I just wanted to know whether I should nominate stuff other people have already nominated to increase points, or not because that nomination would be senseless. Thanks!

I do have another question, though: Sigur Rós's ( ) seems to be eligible; does that mean music sung in fictional/invented languages is eligible? This is mostly relevant for the Magma album below (and also for some Klingon war chants in the song section? Who knows? :P)

I compiled a list of 30 albums from some of my lists. Leaving out some non-Anglo-American albums without vocals was sad.
They are in alphabetical order and I tried not to include too many albums in the same language. I hope all of these are eligible; if not please tell me so I can replace. I added some newer albums (two from 2021); I hope that's okay.

I increased the number of albums you can nominate to 30 as this seemed to create confusion. Gillingham and Schüttelbirne, I'll add all 30 albums nominated by both of you.

Schüttelbirne - I thought about whether the artists with invented languages should be eligible and decided that they should be as they are in the spirit of the poll. The two artists you cite, Sigur Ros and Magma, are the only two I'm aware of who do this, but I'm sure there are more. Of course 2021 albums are eligible. Both you and Gillingham nominated Acabou Chorare, do you want to swap out something for that?

Spaniard, thank you for this list. However, as my first post describes, this is a two stage poll and we are just in the nomination stage right now. You can nominate any 30 songs and albums you want that fit the criteria and they'll all advance to Stage 2.

Should I just include as your nominations your top 30 ranked songs that haven't already been nominated?

Although I love the idea of this game, I feel that ppl will vote for the most acclaimed songs to go in, leaving little room for discovery, bit a shame, but let's see what happens.

Thanks spiritualized. Marcia Baila has already been nominated based on its AM rank, so you can swap it out for another song if you want.

I love Fade to Grey, but it's kind of a borderline case for eligibility for this poll. It's by a UK band with the title of the song and hook sung in English but with a couple of verses in French. I personally wouldn't have nominated it for the poll, but I'm OK keeping it if you feel strongly about it. I wouldn't accept the Beatles' Michelle as a nominee and this feels close to that, though I have deemed songs like The Girl from Ipanema and 7 Seconds as eligible so there is a bit of grey area here. I'm sure someone will nominate People I've Been Sad to give me another test :)

I agree. I also think that making it both individual songs and albums at the same time could be complicated.

Ok - I agree that Visage is a bit of a push.

Replace the two songs with

La Femme - Mycose
Alcest - Les Jardins de Minuit

Ps - made a change too, replaced Marlene by Vasya Vasyliok

Following Jackson's suggestion, he will include in the list for the second round the first thirty of which that I mentioned that were not previously listed.

The remaining songs beyond the thirty chosen, can serve as a reminder of their existence to other users, who i invite to know them if they have not heard them before.

Stereolab songs in which they sing in French like this one are fine for this poll. I don't think any of their albums have enough French to be nominated, and I say this as a big fan of them.

Fishmans are definitely eligible except for their few songs in which the lyrics are 100% English. I think you made the right call on the others, though I'm not familiar with Otayonni.

I don't want to overthink this, so here is the songs list. I kind of feel bad for having so many German songs here. One of these songs will probably be my AT#1 (once I finally finish with the horror that is my list).
Definitely looking forward to the poll. Thanks for running this!

Songs

Caetano Veloso | Triste Bahia
City | Am Fenster
Czeslaw Niemen | Jednego serca
Deichkind | Leider geil (Leider geil)
Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft | Der Mussolini

Engerling | Moll-Blues
Falco | Jeanny
grim104 | Das Grauen
Horst Krüger Band | Die Tagesreise
Invisible | Alarma entre los ángeles

Ja, Panik | Dmd Kiu Lidt
Karussell | Als ich fortging
Keimzeit | Kling Klang
Kettcar | Sommer '89 (Er schnitt Löcher in den Zaun)
Klaus Renft Combo | Zwischen Liebe und Zorn

Konstantin Wecker | Der alte Kaiser
Leo Ferré | Muss es sein? Es muss sein!
Lula Côrtes e Zé Ramalho | Nas paredes da pedra encantada, os segredos talhados por Sumé
Mahwash | Lalo, Lalo
Marlene Dietrich | Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß auf Liebe eingestellt

Nina Hagen | Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen
Nina Hagen | Nicht vergessen
Nina Hagen Band | Naturträne
Novos Baianos | Brasil Pandeiro
Rio Reiser | Junimond

Silly | Bataillon d'Amour
Tom Zé | Toc
Ton Steine Scherben | Jenseits von Eden
Wanda | Bologna
Wolf Biermann | Der Hugenottenfriedhof

EDIT: I had one song I did not want to forget and of course I forgot it. I added it now.

______________________________________________________________

An idea that just came to me:
Would it make sense to make a translation thread where people interested in the lyrics can look at the translated versions? I just tried looking for translated versions of some of the songs above and you can't find anything for some of them. I do think that understanding the gist of what a song is rewarding, thought it is not necessary of course. But if we're looking exclusively at tracks with vocals, this would be interesting. (This is mostly for translations not found on the Internet, and for songs where a translation actually makes sense because the lyrical content can significantly enhance the experience of listening to it. Kraftwerk's "Autobahn" doesn't have very deep lyrics and wouldn't apply, for example).

I know, but I have at least five songs on my list of 30 that aren't on that website (or anywhere else, basically) and I expect others will have more of those. It's what I meant by "This is mostly for translations not found on the Internet".

Great idea. Non-English songs are always underrepresented in general polls, so they deserve a poll of their own. I have a decent amount of them in my lists, so it shouldn't be too much work.

Personally I think The Girl from Ipanema and 7 Seconds shouldn't be eligible, because they're about 50% in Englis.

Grand Blanc - Bosphore
Les Négresses Vertes - C'est pas la mer à boire

Helado Negro - Fantasma Vaga
Peggy Gou - It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)
Yaeji - Waking Up Down (half the song is in English)
Nuobo Uematsu - One Winged Angel

I really limited myself on French rap, I won't nominate any album of the genre and I picked here only songs that I hope are catchy enough for the language not to matter too much. But those 15 songs could have made my list (the first 2 are actually my 2 favorite French songs ever)

IAM - Demain c'est loin
Orelsan - Suicide Social
Shurik'n - Lettre
IAM - Chez le mac
IAM - Dangereux
IAM - L'empire du côté obscur
Suprême NTM - Seine St Denis Style
Stupeflip - Stupeflip
Fuzati/Klub des Loosers - Sous le signe du V
Oxmo Puccino - L'enfant seul
Akhenaton - Je combats avec mes démons
Akhenaton - Un brin de haine
Passi - Le maton me guette
MC Solaar - La concubine de l'hémoglobine
Fabe - L'impertinent

For similar reasons I didn't include any comedy bands (well, depending on how you consider Boby Lapointe), so I'm very sorry for Les Fatals Picards (and a teeny bit for Salut C'est Cool, Didier Super and Marcel et son Orchestre)

And I should also state that the greatest French song ever might be "Le Pudding à l'Arsenic" from the 1968 animated film Astérix et Cléopatre.

And I expect some other voters to hopefully nominate those :
Georges Brassens - Supplique pour être enterré à la plage de Sète
Jacques Brel - La Chanson de Jacky
Rachid Taha - Ya Rayah
Renaud - Mistral Gagnant
Nino Ferrer - Le Sud
Ondatropica - Tiene Sabor, Tiene Sazon

Album nominations :
Emilie Simon - Végétal
La Femme - Psycho Tropical Berlin
Boris - Pink

I wanted to make a suggestion: I think that the fact that it is an international forum and many of us have a language other than English as our mother tongue, may distort the final results in favor of that language. I think that for Stage 2 you should consider at least songs in 2 or 3 different languages when voting for them.

Thank you for all of the nominations made over the weekend. I've updated my posts above on this thread with all of the nominees. I'm pleased at the participation and the variety of the picks so far (maybe I should have had a lower number of nominations as the limit!).

This song was already nominated by Spaniard, so you can choose another one if you want to.
panam wrote: Sun Apr 25, 2021 5:07 pm I don't see Yaeji's "Raingurl" as a Non English Song because almost 75% of the songs is in English.
Agree, I removed it after re-checking the lyrics. I'm likely going to nominate "drink i'm sippin' on", which has more of its lyrics in Korean versus English. I prefer that song anyway to "raingurl."

Os Mutantes - A Minha Menina
Both of these are already nominated.

I really limited myself on French rap, I won't nominate any album of the genre and I picked here only songs that I hope are catchy enough for the language not to matter too much. But those 15 songs could have made my list (the first 2 are actually my 2 favorite French songs ever)
The Kraftwerk song was already nominated, so you are free to replace it if you want.

By the way, while I appreciate you sparing us a list of 30 French rap albums, I'd love to hear your top one or two! Listening to things outside the normal is what this poll is for.

As an American who only speaks English, part of the reason I wanted to do the poll, and the main reason I set it up in two stages like this, is because of the international nature of this forum. If I listened to only French music for the next year, I'd still not have nearly as much knowledge as Romain or Nassim does, so I appreciate the ability to get hand-picked recommendations from them of French music (or from you of Spanish music). I agree though that in round 2, hopefully people listen to works outside of their comfort zone and maiden language, whatever that may be.

An idea that just came to me:
Would it make sense to make a translation thread where people interested in the lyrics can look at the translated versions?
The website LyricsTranslate is incredible for that. :P
https://lyricstranslate.com/fr
That’s a nice idea ! Thanks. French and English are fine by me but all the others I would be making up fake lyrics in my head 🤣
I’m just a girl... (don’t you think I know exactly where I stand ?)

I don't listen to that much French rap but I for sure love :
Early MC Solaar
The flawless output from IAM during the 2nd half of the 90s : their perfect "L'école du micro d'argent", their fantastic solo output from the same period (Akhenaton's Métèque et Mat and Shuriken's Où Je Vis) as well as a bunch of killer singles.
90s Suprême NTM albums, while I will never love them as much as IAM, there is a reason they are usually considered as the most important French hip-hop band ever
There is a lot much to like from the late 90s scene : Fabe, Oxmo Puccino, Ideal J, Assassin, Ärsenik, Fabe, Saian Supa Crew... even some silliest stuff like 113, but I must say I rarely listen to any of those.
The disillusioned, punch line heavy songs of Orelsan and Klub des Loosers, it was especially fun seeing Orelsan break genre boundaries and achieve some touching self reflections on his early years.

So, given you enthusiasm, I'll nominate :
IAM - L'école du micro d'argent (that I already nominated for moderately acclaimed albums a few years back)
Orelsan - La fête est finie

I want to keep my 20 in French, 10 in other languages for my songs pick, so I have to find another song not in French to replace Kraftwerk... I got a Boris song ready, but I'd rather split the nominations to different bands/artists so I have to think again.

One suggestion: there are artists with several untitled albums in their discography. In order not to generate confusion (for example between albums by Caetano Veloso, Jacques Brel and others), I think it would be convenient to put the year of publication in those cases so that we can propose them.

Damn, I was going to nominate this later today! Both of your lists are brilliant by the way (as are everyone else's), loads to dive into.

Thanks for the nominations! I was surprised no one had nominated Construçao or A tábua de esmeralda yet, but now I don't have to.

Caetono Veloso 1968 and 1/2 Mensch are already nominated, so you can pick two more to replace these. There were also a few of your picks that appeared to be entirely instrumental: Guitarra portuguesa, Coisas, and the 8 1/2 soundtrack. If I confirm they don't have vocals, they unfortunately aren't eligible for this poll.

Round 2 will take forever to listen to but it'll be massively rewarding, so cheers for putting this together, Jackson! I've tried to limit myself to an artist per country or per language within its category, hence beginning my entries with the nation most associated with the involved musicians. I'm adding numbers to my choices, not to rank them, but to avoid losing track of how many I've submitted. I'm shuffling my most potentially contentious selections to the front, starting with:

Songs
Jackson wrote: Wed Apr 21, 2021 8:12 pm what country is the artist from? do they typically sing in English or other languages?)
Does this mean that native English artists are excluded by default? If so, please ignore this first group:

1. USA: Against All Logic - Cityfade (German)
2. UK: Kula Shaker - Govinda (Sanskrit)
3. UK: Chasing Shadows - Amirah (Punjabi)
4. UK/Cuba: Mala feat. Danay Suárez - Noche sueños (Spanish)

The following often sing in English but the lead vocalist on the track in question has another mother tongue:

5. Ukraine/USA: Gogol Bordello - Santa Marinella (Ukrainian & broken Italian)
6. Brazil: Sepultura - Ratamahatta (Portuguese)
7. Nigeria: Tony Allen - Asiko (Yoruba?)
8. Switzerland: Sophie Hunger - Finde mich (German)
9. Uganda: Geoffrey Oryema - Piri Wango Iya (Kacholi?)*
10. Ghana: Edikanfo - Nka Bom (Akan?)
11. Mali: Songhoy Blues - Bamako (French)
12. DR Congo: Jupiter & Okwess - Muba (Kibunda?)

Parts of the chorus are in English:

13. South Korea: Third-Line Butterfly - In a Dream (Korean but the English title is sung) [YouTube only AFAIK] *
14. Colombia: Juanes - La camisa negra (the lyrics go from the Spanish "cama" to "come on baby", then back to Spanish)

Hopefully less controversial cases below! That said:

15. Indonesia: Milisi Kecoa - Ini bukan Arab, bung! (Bahasa Indonesia; the title more or less translates as "This isn't Saudi Arabia, man!" but as I understand, it's more of a protest against cultural conservatism in places like Banda Aceh in Sumatra)
16. Spain/Catalonia: Sisu Sisa - El fill del mestre (Catalan)*
17. PR China: Tan Weiwei - Xiao Juan (Pseudonym) [it should be easier to search it under its Chinese title 小娟 ( 化名 )] (Mandarin)
18. Russia: Kate NV - Ça commence par (French)
19. Kenya: Duma - Pembe 666 (Kiswahili)
20. Uruguay: Animales de poder - Arterias (Spanish; I think this may have been intended solely as a scene-setting intro but it makes an impact on its own merits)
21. Germany: Spider Murphy Gang - Skandal im Sperrbezirk (German)
22. Italy: Umberto Tozzi - Gloria (Spanish version)
23. Poland: Perfect - Bla, Bla, Bla (Polish)
24. Canada: Klô Pelgag - Soleil (French)
25. Austria: STS - Fürstenfeld (German)
26. Puerto Rico: Daddy Yankee - Gasolina (Spanish)

Rap in various languages:
27. Angola/Portugal: Prodigio feat. Edmasia - Todos vocês (Portuguese)
28. Denmark: Natasja - Gi' mig Danmark tilbage (Danish) [YouTube only AFAIK]
29. Chile: Dadalú feat. Zita Zoe - Aquí (Spanish)
30. France: TTC - Travailler (French)

*Discovered through AM(F)

Albums possibly later...

Mileswide, I checked out those tracks you highlighted and all of them are eligible. In general, the principle is what language the song is sung in rather than the country of origin or mother tongue of the artist. Nice job having such variety on your list!

Thanks! Here's some albums to try on for size:

Albums without English but with a high proportion of instrumental passages:

2. UK/Mali - Invisible System: Bamako Moon (French, Mandingo?)
3. Poland: Królówczana Smuga - Orapdorap (Polish)
4. South Korea: Mid-Air Thief - Crumbling (Korean)

Nothing from here on in should fall foul of the criteria:
5. Germany: Die Toten Hosen - Ein kleines bißchen Horrorschau (German)
6. USA: Tito Puente - El rey bravo (Spanish)
7. France: Louise Attaque - Louise Attaque (French)
8. France: KOMPROMAT - Traum und Existenz (French, broken German)
9. Ghana: Santrofi - Alewa (Akan?)
10. Indonesia: Senyawa - Alkisah (Sundanese/Basa Sunda)
11. DR Congo: Mbongwana Star - From Kinshasa (French, Lingala)
12. Colombia/Canada: Lido Pimienta - Miss Colombia (Spanish)
13. Venezuela: Raúl Monsalve y los Forajidos - Bichos (Spanish)
14. Congo-Brazzaville: Les mamans du Congo - Les mamans du Congo (Lari)
15. Switzerland: The Young Gods - L'eau rouge (French)
16. Brazil: Chico Science & Naçao Zumbi - Da lama ao caos (Portuguese)
17. Turkey: Mercan Dede - Nefes (Turkish)

Albums with some rap on them:
18. Belgium: Baloji - 137 Avenue Kaniama (French)
19. Austria: IVO - 1V0 (Gibberish)
20. Japan: Dos Mono - Dos Siki EP (ditto)

Unfortunately this is inneligible for being all instrumental.
In fact, I recommend anyone to listen to this album, it is wonderful! All time top 100 for me.
