I don't now about your country but in Germany 70% of the songs seem to be American/British/Australian and the rest German. We maybe have one French song on the radio every two months and that's it.
Every country has its national stars, and there's soo much good music out there, but people just don't ever find out...
So let's share our favourite music from our country. Every style (pop, rock, whatever) is ok but something famous only in your country or region.
The most famous singer here is probably Krisdayanti. Her type of song are quite similar with Hamasaki Ayumi's. She even sang one of the Hamasaki Ayumi's song during her concert in Japan.
Another one is Siti Nurhaliza. She is a Malaysian though, but she visited Indonesia so often and speaks the same language that people here have considered her as a local superstar. She receives lots of attentions recently due to her expensive fairytale wedding ceremony.
One of the most beautiful women I've ever seen.
I love Die Toten Hosen and Die Artze. I am from Russia and these bands are quite popular in there. I used to listen to them while I was in University! ^-^
By the way, there is a cool site called allofmp3.com where you can buy international music from European, French, German, Italian, Brittish, Russian and US charts.
For some good Russian music you should check :
1. Splin
2. Zveri
3. Butusov
All the singers are from my home town St.Petersburg !!

Great moments they pass by
If you’re careless
Desperately trying to speak the words
I’ve been wanting to say for a long time.
Tongue tied, every time I try to talk to you
In time, I’ll find the right line.
Caught a glimpse of you
I tremble every time you walk by
Hopelessly trying to find a way
To be near you, to get near you.
In my mind, plays thoughts of you all the time
I’ll find the right line…
I’ll bleed for you
Like a new tattoo in my heart
You’ll stay permanent…
Am I too late now?
Will I find a way to get to you somehow?
She’s breaking me down again
She’s breaking me down.
I don't know Englsh title but the song wcalled "Hotaru no Hikari" in Japan is international.We sing this when we say goodbye to something,ex end of the year or at the graduation ceremony.
When I was in England, I heard it after we said "a happy new year" so it was a bit strange to me.I think it's classical music.
here are some sounds from Portugal, my country:
I've listed music from all genres, from tradiotional/folk to death metal, with dance music and rock/alternative in between...enjoy!
