Is good music written ONLY in english? I don't think so...
I am sure you heard some good stuff sung in german, russian, japanese, arabic, spanish, etc...

In your face America:
Warsaw Village Band, Tworzywo Sztuczne, Fisz, Maria Peszek, Raz Dwa Trzy, Abradab, Lao Che, Czeslaw Niemen, Salif Keita, Abdel Gadir Salim, Rammstein, Emilie Simon, Sebastian Telier, Paktofonika, Goran Bregovic's collaborators, Sigur Ros, Laibach, Lisa Ekdahl, Lhasa (Lhasa de Sela), Paavoharju, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Republika, Waglewski Fisz Emade, Beshodrom, Fanfare Ciocarlia, Manu Chao, Compay Segundo...

That few of many I could think of right now...

While they sometimes speak English, i think the Mars Volta is a very good foreign language group.

I highly recommend Brazilian Tropicalia artists like Gal Costa, Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Milton Nascimento, and Os Mutantes.

Sergio Mendes!

On another note, I have Polish heritage and went to Krakow for the first time a couple of years back. I didn't hear anything of particular note out there and my Polish cousin was into heavy metal. Anything you might recommend for me?
