I occasionally listen to this... It's in sung in Kazakh but the musician lives somewhere in China. Goes by the name Mamer. It is usually very folk orientated and makes me want to learn the language.
here is an example and another.

Just thought about this forum.

Your choice is a lot more to the point than my around about selection. Yet, each in our own way, we still carry on & always remember.
Probably the single best parable of all.

That’s right.

But now I guess I’m listening to Rachel Potter.
And Kristin Maldonado.
And Tatiana Shmaylyuk from Jinjer.
And Avi Kaplan overtone-singing “the lion sleeps tonight”.

It’s hard to keep up!
Edit: And Courtney Hadwin.

Different music production videos. I think people who are into making foreign style music could look into the tutorials. These are for Dangdut, Papuan music, and reggae.

The musician who did that particular cover is an interesting person himself, and also composes and plays his own original music, and he used to take requests to compose short songs thru the website "Songs To Wear Pants To Dot Com". Now he mostly does completely original stuff on his channel on youtube but I think he still takes paid requests now and then

Thanks! I did see at least one other YouTu.be video by him.

Fun fact I just realised: the terrible Elizabethan (Jacobean?) play Mark and Jez are forced to watch in Peep Show is Lust's Dominion, which isn't that well-known; but the raunchier Restoration remake, by Aphra Behn, is Abdelazer; which also isn't that famous as a play (other than for Behn scholars), except that Purcell composed the score for it; and that score isn't particularly famous, except for its Rondeau; which is in turn rather less famous than the set of variations written on it in the 20th century by Britten, named The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra.

Which has no particular connection to Peep Show, I just thought it was interesting/amusing that two famous, relatively modern things were linked in such a way via works from 400 years ago.

Thank you! I needed that example earlier today on a FB conlanging group.

......

By the way Ewa of Worldbuilding Notes narrated her first two YouTube videos in Lojban. She sounds quite fluent to me, but her native language appears to be Polish.

Give us a link! I've never heard Lojban yspoke before. I've heard plenty of Esperanto, from the famous movie to their (un)national anthem. Though that's obviously sung.

With a name like Ewa, what else would she be?

Na'vi?

It says that you have good taste in conworlds! And probably conlangs, too -- speak any Na'vi?
