Some forced culturization, dammit!
Here's my favorite group at the moment; Van Gogh's Ear...

It is in Spanish.

Don't worry about trying to understand it. Just enjoy the melody and the images; that should be plenty enough to convey the message.

If you have a favorite video at the moment, post it.

Extra points if it's not in English.

Extra-extra points for Gaelic.

Here's another one:

It translates to: the moving body of Lucifer :evilgrin:

I am totally enchanted by it.

2. I don't have video of the most recent Gaelic piece that I heard
but it's a newer choral work by Margaret McAllister, one of the "Composers in Red Sneakers" based in Boston.

So I present a fine video of one of my favorite songs of a Canadian songwriter, Fred Eaglesmith
"Alcohol and Pills"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tjfG-nVrW0

It's in English but with an Ontario accent -- do I get extra points?

9. Thank you. Janis singing Summertime is one of my all time favorites.
An heir to the great bluesy voice of Janis is Susan Tedeschi (from the South Shore of Boston originally)

10. she was 21 when that came out
She is unbelievably talented to have had the body of work she has at that young an age. And the album previous to that is just as good, that one came out when she was 18, here is Antologia from that one from '95 (just audio)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgR5kf9qyOI

considering she writes all or most of her work, it's amazing to me how much has she has accomplished at her young age, I think she turns 30 this year.

7. And something in a language I don't understand
Not Spanish, not Portuguese, Gallego; a Celtic language from Northern Spain which I barely can catch a word here and there:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sD0nl8f4Y0

But the melody is beautiful.

There. Now we're all even.

12. Hevia! I Love it!
I actually have that CD! (Tierra de Nadie)

You've probably heard Carlos Nuñez, but have you heard Susana Seivane?
