Ya Rayah by Rachid Taha (Sp?)

Also, no mention of Fela in this thread is criminal

Ozone is pretty good.
Manau - La Tribu de Dana
Kyo - Je Cours
Corneille seems like a french boy pop band, I think. I don't know if you'll like them. One of their songs is "Seul au Monde."
Annie Major-Matte - Feu De Paille
Paoloa Meneguzzi (preferably with Ophelie Cassy if you can find it) - Au Nom de L'amour

Some of these will depend on your taste, obviously, but I think you'll like a few.

Fela Kuti - Best Best of
this album just had to be the best foreign album of all time (even though it's a hits)...I can't imagine something better than this. This combines jazz, funk, and African music together.


Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club
latin album that was highly acclaimed in 1997, very very good.


Ravi Shankar - Sounds of India. This is supposedly his best album. He became popular in America after working with George Harrison and the Concert for Bangladesh.


pm me if you need a copy of any of these.

I just remembered another cool song:

Soeur Sourire (aka The Singing Nun) - "Dominique" was a hit single in the 60s, pretty fun [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Awesome movie, too. Possibly the best I've ever had to watch for school.

Rammstein's a good choice, but maybe something by Kraftwerk?

Megaherz is pretty good too if you like Rammstein. Kopf durch die Wand is one of my favorites of theirs.
