Hello everyone!
Me and my sister-in-law are making a Spotify playlist and trying to put 1 song from each country in the world. I’m starting with european countries (aside from the ones I already knew), and would really appreciate your help!
**What are we looking for?**
Preferably a song not in English, and that really captures the feeling of your country’s music.
Also, I invite everyone to list my country (Brazil) song! I’m the one who chose it, it’s called [Águas de Março – Tom Jobim](https://open.spotify.com/track/1y7OxO5i6sfrHXAmUM77YG?si=4895e1f47e00497a)
**What countries are already in the playlist?**
So far we have:
* Brazil
* Finland
* Sweden
* Denmark
* Belgium
* Germany
* Switzerland
* Austria
* Italy
* France
* Luxembourg
* Portugal
* Slovakia
* Ireland
* Poland
* Czech Republic
* Slovenia
* Hungary
* Romania
* Serbia
* Croatia
* Montenegro
* Bosnia and Herzegovina
* Faroe Islands*
* Japan*
* Mexico*
* Norway*
* Pakistan*
* San marino*
(ps. The ones with * we put there before starting asking here on reddit, and will probably change once we ask the proper community.)
Thank you and we hope you can contribute to this project 🙂
Here is the link to the playlist: [Spotify – All around the world](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7n4kZc0adGRwSm0Jf7UFlG?si=037fdb29d15a4e01)

for a folk feeling το ζειμπέκικο της ευδοκίας, for a classical feeling: yanni nostalgia.
for a movie soundtrack: blade runner.
I can contribute with only one Greek song.
For the rest countries try the respective subreddits.

There are more polished versions, but aside from that, I think that both lyrically and as a composition it captures the Greek musical spirit well enough.

Mitropanos-roza

Ενα ειναι τ αηδονι λαλει μωρε λαλει
I would suggest this one: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUzj9oQaM8k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUzj9oQaM8k)
The lyrics are actually in ancient greek.
One of the best Greek love songs ever written

One of the best zeimpekiko

Aguas de março is a great song ♥️ you have excellent taste in music! I can’t but agree with some of the suggested songs, such as Andromeda (or Pehlivanis, even better) or Synnefiasmeni Kyriaki.
Ukraine, Kazka, Cry
That’s such a hard undertaking. How can one song represent a whole culture and civilization. Fellow suggestions are absolutely great. Having said that my personal suggestions would be somewhat less conventional I’d dare say. So
Xembarkoi to pousi, from a poet that managed to encapsulate the longing, love and sorrow of sailors.

Afti i nihta menei, dimitra papiou on a somewhat similar concept as described above. Timeless.

Giorgos moustairas thee mou megalodyname. Representing an older and somewhat ostracised type of music.
