Your music, and mine too. La tua musica, e anche il mio. Ihre Musik, und meine auch.

She could be singing about rotting fish but the voice is so beautiful who would care.

All in all, I'm not only hearing exceptional music, but listening to the entire songs.

Thank to all of you.

If we are going Portuguese this is one of my favorite Brazilian songs. The lyrics start with:

I live!
in a tropical country
blessed by God
It's pretty by nature

In February
It has carnival
I've a VW Beetle and a guitar
I'm Flamengo [i.e. from Rio de Janeiro],
I've a girlfriend named Thereza

[Salgueiros]

Nothing against lisbon, but i think my hometown (Porto) is the prettiest place in Portugal:

I would eat so much more fish if the lady that sells fish in the market could sing like that

Brazil is an endless source of awesome music. like this one.




There is a version with lyrics, but for some reason i think without lyrics, it is more dreamy....

Got it! Thank you... and thanks for editing my first few posts here.

But Jacques Brel is from the French speaking part of Belgium, while I'm Flemish-speaking. So although he is one of the most celebrated Belgian musicians (he even came close to being elected as the Greatest Belgian a couple of years ago), he doesn't sing in my language

When I think about Flemish music, what comes to mind are children's songs (we have talking dogs, pirates, gnomes, childish women (K3), ...) and what I call hoompapa music. Like this:


But there are some Flemish songs, old(er) and new, that I like.

Ann Christy singing 'Dag vreemde man' (goodbye stranger). She died of cancer in 1984 when she was only 38 years old. My parents introduced me to her music.


Radiostation Studio Brussel asks it's listeners to vote for the best song of all time every year. This song has been number 1 for as long as I can remember.
Gorky - Mia


Noordkaap - Satelliet Suzy


And then there's this amazing choir, called Scala. They don't sing in Flemish but I thought I'd include them because they kick ass !


Oops, forgot Louis Neefs, who made a song about protecting the environment in 1970 ! It's called 'Laat ons een bloem'.

That first one nearly had me in tears... I used to sing in choirs, and I especially loved the Christmas ones..

Glædelig Jul og Godt Nyår....

I have to post this one:


And, since you keep going on about lovely voices, these two ladies must of course be mentioned:

Oh, and I almost forgot this:

Thanks for sharing Saguieros; got almost an heart-ache listening to that music. It speaks to me of far away things and emotions; unreachable and painfully beautiful.
