Walk the calles of any town in Mexico and you will be cheered by the magical melodies called Mariachi. It has to the happiest, most uplifty, harmoniest music in the world.
Say a prayer that the horrible drug wars will end. Maybe these drugs should be legalized and taxed in both Mexico and the United States.
I like Chinese music as well as that from the Peruvian Andes.
Although not contemporary, the Israeli band the Witches from the 90s & the last decade of J-pop.
Electronic music, usually really chill stuff from all over Europe. Some from Russia too. They tend to make the lyrics in English well and, well, they just put out really good tunes.
I love, love, love the world music of Putumayo!
Sape' music from Borneo. Sape' is a musical instrument made of wood, it has strings like the guitar. And the sound it makes is almost like plucking the strings of a guitar.
But the music itself is one of a kind.
Gnawa music or Music Gnawoui is very special and well paced...
Well when it comes form non English speaking countries I guess I can only choose among Lithuanian music (since my other languages are not good enough to understand lyrics). Sadly majority of bands are extremely bad although some rock and folk artists are quite good. Since it is unlikely of you to understand Lithuanian I'd suggest you Vilkduja It's more about the rhythm than the words.
I like Tokio Hotel which music is a bit of Brit pop and rock but aside from they sing in English they are really German in nature.
I like a russian song its a rap song called under the clouds but I can find the lyrics to memorize it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
