Can you suggest some current French pop singers?

60s garage-pop in not English? (or French)

  • I'm making a Spotify playlist of rare 1960s garage pop not in English. French Ye-ye music is well covered online, I'm full up on that. But other than a couple of hints about Italian and Spanish singers from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C3%A9-y%C3%A9 I haven't found much else. Give me your favorite examples of danceable, hip, poppy, swinging 60s tunes from other parts of the world! Definitely not interested in: sappy ballads, instrumentals, acid-rock, prog, funk, disco, jazz, or anything later than 1969. Will accept 1950s R&B, Vegas-grind-style cocktail lounge, doowop, merseybeat, blues-rock or blue-eyed soul. French-speaking music not from France also acceptable. Bollywood-friendly but please suggest specific songs! (there's a ton of stuff from each artist on Spotify). Spotify links are quadruple points. Ta ra ta ta ta ta!

There's a cool Nuggets-style compilation of Iranian psych, fusion, garage and surf type stuff called Pomegranates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-l0bt2ZNyU&list=RDo7p-lJKANPc&index=13

My favorite Peruvian garage band by far ishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_CmL-fpSno&feature=kp. There are a billion South American garage bands with pleasantly fuzzy recordings and (usually) Spanish lyrics, but it's not something I'm that crazy about. Hans Pokora's Record Collector Dreams series is a good place to get a thorough rundown. Plenty of French Canadian bands, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkeONI4jxYM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T9MVRxnJzA was an Indonesian band with a really interesting history and some rocking tunes. They had a greatest hits album released by Sublime Frequencies pretty recently.

If you're looking for Brazilian stuff, the term is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jovem_Guarda. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1DV8W0nJSE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvVJfXt7MQA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUHiEf7rHTc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83intxLcE7Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtxcFeU3sX0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XegO9bjK7zY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86eoGY2n130 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KswCEbocHyw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ULG2gFdD5U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnTk2pq-kLA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5SO5PbW4_U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxhOEkP3PR4 If that's not heavy enough, then maybe you'd like the psych compilation http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00307Q8VU/metafilter-20/ref=nosim/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W5TViSUlJ4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i42h6IaaPDo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VD56jntka8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--uRcXZQcoI may be too acid rock for you, but they definitely were huge fans of all this.

You know the Love, Peace and Poetry comp series, right?

Yay! Great stuff. Love all this. Many suggestions not on spotify but used them to find soundtracks and related artists on comps. http://open.spotify.com/user/gaave/playlist/4nxx2UlNIXg6JwJ882rRMV! I'm going to torture/titillate my coworkers with these golden greats.
