Monday Music Madness!
Posted by PhantomFire on May 14, 2012 12:31 pm
Hello! And welcome to the 9th installment of "Monday Music Madness!"
This week we have lots of great suggestions from our members. The category is "Foreign language songs" so lets get started!
It's interesting to see what captivates us in other languages. Most of you sent no extra info regarding the songs so I did the best I could adding a bit of info. If it's not 100% correct, forgive me,

Let's start this off with a song from Ashdizzle #1204
Band Name: Selena...."Como La Flor"
Como La Flor
The song means "Like the Flower"

From Mittenmon #71
Band Name :Utada Hikaru...."First Love"
First Love


From Lukrecia # 2989
Band Name: From the Anime "Lady Bernkastel"......"Image song"
Vocals appear to be by Noe
Image song


This in from Brenne #13
Band Name: Fermin IV....."004"
004
A song about being a secret agent 004


Rat #224 sent us this
Band Name: Gackt...."Longing"
Longing

Time to calm it down with a pick by MrsGunsage #1114
Band name: Katherine Jenkins and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa ( a personal fav of mine too!!)..."The Flower Duet"
Flower Song

From Allira #8
A favorite Fun song :
Band Name: Nena...."99 luft balons"
99 luft balons

And from TygressDream #1290
Band name: Final Fantasy X (anime) ....."Suteki Da Ne"
Suteki Da Ni


Thank you everyone for contributing!!! There were so many this time it was difficult to pick! We will do this catagory again!!! I had well over 100 songs to pick and many there was no working you tube video so it was hard to find them. If I didn't get to yours do NOT be discouraged, there were simply way too many to pick from.

Now for my picks:
This week are three songs that I love. One is just a fun song the other two have a special meaning to me.

Pick #1 from a German medieval folk rock band that uses a lot of the ancient instruments in their music
Band Name: Schandmaul..."Walpurgisnacht"
Walpurgisnacht

Pick #2 From the band Kashtin..The name Kashtin means "tornado" in the Innu-aimun language. They are a "First Nations" band. First Nations is a term that collectively refers to various Aboriginal peoples in Canada who are neither Inuit nor Métis. This song, is a lullaby I grew up hearing played a lot at my house.
My Daughter

Pick #3 Another Native American Group, Ulali. Ulali, founded in 1987, was the first Native American women's a cappella group to create their own sound from strong traditional roots and personal contemporary styles. They created a new genre of Native American music and inspired the creation of other Native women's groups.
My favorite song of theirs "Heartbeat drum song" or "Mahk Jchi" Which is also a name for my puma ;) ( this song was presented on Robbie Robertsons Red Road Ensemble CD)
Mahk Jchi



As I stated last week, We want YOUR songs! PLEASE though, don't send more than 2 suggestions at a time.
If you find NEW stuff to suggest, feel free to send, just don't keep sending the same song over and over :) If you wish to suggest music, you must PRIVATE message me directly with the link and the subject line "Suggestion for Music".


Theme for next week "Instrumentals". What does that mean? We all have a song or two with no lyrics, just moving music. We call them "New Age" or "Jazz" "Classical" the music goes by many names but it is a stand alone song, no vocals . Let's see what you come up with!



Congrats to:
Ashdizzle #1204
Mittenmon #71
Lukrecia # 2989
Brenne #13
Rat #224
