Duelling Lingos: The Non English Music Thunderdome

Bongo goes to Deutschland once again with a performance of the Queen of the Night Aria from Mozart's The Magic Flute, performed by The Royal Opera. RT-55J ventures outside of Europe to bring us the Japanese Bad Apple by Alstroemeria Records.

Bavarian folk music is the exact musical opposite of hip-hop, making the first one an almost impossible comparison. However, it's really difficult to appreciate rapping in a language I don't understand, whereas no particular linguistic proficiency is necessary to identify the best yodeler ever recorded. Maybe I'm being unfair, but I will go with mine in both cases.

Caroline Apple, while also recognizing the insane vocal talents on display in Bongo’s picks, dang.
 
Queen of the Night moves on, but the other match is tied, so I shall use my excellent musical taste to break it.
 
Both songs are amazing but I have a soft spot for Bavaria so Mei Vata is a Appenzeller also graduates. Bracket

We are on to a nw round, with for new songs that got a bye, thanks to how the math shook out. Anyways.

Falselogic brings us one of the four, with old-timey Italian pop bop Citta, Vuota by Mina (not the Hollower). RT-55J's German Moskau by Dschinghis Khan is the other track.

The other matchup is the Wolof Mariama by Papae & Chaik, nominated by Expostition Owl, vesus the Finnish Lähtisitkö, nominated by Olli

Damn, Mina got done wrong by the bracket... But you dance with the one you came with.

Mina Mariama
 
Citta, Vuota even though I appreciate its opponent greatly, and Mariama.
 
Worthy entries all, but I gotta dance with the one that brung me. Song of Women and Bohemian Rhapsody.
