The Music of Babel
Feb. 7th, 2007 08:10 amLately I have been pondering the music I listen to. Specifically, the *languages* I listen to music in.
I count9 12 languages in the music I listen to:
-English (duh)
-German (I know, big shocker)
-Japanese (another shocker)
-French (probably not a surprise)
-Spanish
-Italian
-Russian
-Korean
-Zulu
-Latin
-Tibetan
-Gaelic
What about you? How many languages do you listen to music in? Anything not on my list?
And no, these languages are *not* the native tongue for at least half of the artists singing in them. Some of the Italian *is* Opera, in case you are wondering, but not *all* of it.
[edited to add Latin, Gaelic, and Tibetan. I forgot about the chants I have. DOH!!]
