Re: Would you listen to music in a language you didn't understand?
Of course. Yes! Music is the way that some people find release in, no matter the language. Sadly enough, music doesn't affect some people like it affects us...
We had "Flora's Secret" by Enya played at our wedding, even though this particular song was sung in English. I'm especially moved (transported to another frickin' universe) by Celtic, Welsh, and Irish Music.
I love Anne Phoebe who is known as ~
"..."soaring elegantly aloft with Eastern and Western-influenced melodies to conjure all things mysterious for the lifting of all souls.....intelligent improvisation and sweeping, emotional cadences and sonic qualities...."
She was the first (string) violinist of Trans Siberian Orchestra. Hell, she was getting off of the plain in Beirut (for some solo gig in front of an "HMFIC") when it was bombed some years ago...
I regress...

I did the same thing but started with Middle Eastern and Indian music. Now, even though I'm not up to date on the various bands, I just randomly download and enjoy!
Re: Would you listen to music in a language you didn't understand?
Yes, I don't know why but I guess it is all because of the song's melody/rhythm.
Re: Would you listen to music in a language you didn't understand?
Absolutely. Opera is beautiful and I often listen to Pavarotti.
