Foreign Language Acts

[mattiloy]

Aloha,

Glasto frequently showcases many fine overseas acts. They are often my favourite acts to watch for all kinds of reasons.

I live overseas myself and I often think of bands that I guess have little chance of getting a glasto gig that they would absolutely rock it if they did.

So this thread is for your favourite acts performing in other languages who you’d love to see at glastonbury.

Mine is slowgold (SE) who I saw play on a boat in summer and were just sublime:

Here is a short clip from that gig

And the record version of the song they’re playing:

 

 

Honourable mention for Hun Huur Tu (Mongolia) who I also saw earlier this year who I think would be so well received.

Big fan of this guy called Bob Dylan. No idea what language he's singing in but I bet if you translated it into English it would be beautiful ❤

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Warsaw Village Band are good. Played 2009 I think but I have  aught them a few times at different festivals.

Sigur Ros

Liam Gallagher

Kraftwerk

 

[Avalon_Fields]

Tinariwen, Orchestra Baobab, Natasha Atlas (Egyptian/French), , Feufollet (Cajon), Gotan Project (French/Argentinian), Fatoumata Diawara, Anda Union, Calypso Rose, Manu Chao (French & English),  Cigdem Aslan (Turkish), Calan (Welsh), Julie Fowlis (Celtic), etc...

Plenty of acts I love, often better in a foreign language to my ears 

* Note...of course Welsh and Celtic aren’t foreign as such!

Finally got to see these this year, easily one of the 10 best bands I've ever seen.

these were pretty rad as well a few years ago

We caught these by accident late night at Pussy Parlure this year. Taiwanese band, they were really really good. Massive smile on my face the whole time.

Would love to see these guys back, one of the most fun festival acts I’ve ever seen.

Yeah that Glade set was so much fun, stumbled across it and off the back of it went to see them again at Shangri-la later well worth it both times.
