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
* Greece
* Macedonia
* Bulgaria
* Albania
* 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)

My vote goes to “Trys Milijonai” by Marijonas Mikutavicius
[https://youtu.be/YM0j1s0x0Hk](https://youtu.be/YM0j1s0x0Hk)
[Laužo šviesa by Foje](https://youtu.be/doJtiaSO7LU)
[Hiperbolė – Vandens Ženklai](https://youtu.be/NB-1juMv1RY)
since you want something that captures the feeeling of the country’s music, i suggest this cover of Milžinų kapai by ugniavijas
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhNnVRgYIU4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhNnVRgYIU4)
Abudu – Įkvėpimui
For the Netherlands it *has* to be Sterrenstof: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNMXSKfWfLQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNMXSKfWfLQ)
Good pick for Germany 😀
Laužo šviesa by Foje did a ton for Lithuanian independence but yeah Trys Milijonai by Marijonas Mikutavičius is best for those type of thing
Karališka erdvė- karalių paslaptys
OP, would you mind to create and regularly update the YouTube playlist as well?
it has to be this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBAdOlQPbwg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBAdOlQPbwg)
Either “Lietuvos istorijos repas” whitch is literally the entirity of lithuanian history condensed in to a rap song, or “Kaifuok” whitch is kust a good song which every self respecting lithuanian should know
https://youtu.be/ZX1h-HrbSHE “prie atminimų upės” this is the original long version, there’s a shorter remix version to.
Why not this one: https://open.spotify.com/track/3NTFeYTWHoFeKOK7DkWQuh?si=ycaO_aaASGOkjNcitu4t0A ?
Mūsų dienos kaip šventė – V. Kernagis
Antis – kazkas atsitiko
https://youtu.be/sBnkR7liaDM
For Turkey, my recommendation:
https://youtu.be/FqJIP1qJIpw
Remis Retro – iki ausros
Og version
Just my pick as I’m more into folk songs: Veronika Povilionienė – “teka saulė”, Modestyno – “nei vėjai pučia”
Usually the first song that comes to my head when I hear name Brazil is Mas que nada either by Sergio Mendes (well or Jorge Ben Jor, although Sergio was the first one who introduced me to Brazilian music)
Žalvarinis – Turėja Liepa – https://youtu.be/s13_xVw5r0g
Has both old traditional and modern bits
Don’t know if it has to be iconic songs or something that depics current Lithuania’s music. I’ll share something from nowadays:
This one gives me mystic Ancient Lithuania’s vibes:
Migloko – Širmi žirgeliai
https://open.spotify.com/track/66whEe6tyIntNigj5rG0dG?si=cxVz_njpTdWnb3eWJwUwQg
Dark wave depics Lithuania’s vibe pretty accuratelly:
Solo Ansamblis – Įstriži žiburiai
https://open.spotify.com/track/38CO0Oimej5K8iYiKZoCjD?si=2glGiIesTQu72FP2lGQ9-w
Folk Song meets electronic music:
Girių dvasios – Gervela dai ciuto
https://open.spotify.com/track/5fOWgGMHaBgjFsY7hSdxBI?si=DxseyvhWQiqFcgAf7Li8nA
Ok I know that you’re trying to get help from Lithuania, but theres already alot of suggestions so im going to recommend hebrew music. I don’t know much about the languege or where it originated from, but I think its a beautiful language that was on brink of extinction. On wiki it says it’s a nomad language from Israel and it is one of the spoken languages by Israelites and their descendants jews, samaritans. [Here’s the music](https://open.spotify.com/album/5vuSfhLOx4QU4kPMeLBK2U)
Stasys Povilaitis – švieski man vėl
Strazdas performed by Aistė Smilgevičiūtė and composed by Linas Rimša.
https://youtu.be/Uvl9Mbm37es
It was our first attempt at Eurovision and also it incorporates folk elements.
My pick :
Grupė Trigrašis – Samagonas
Dj nevykele – Aerobika
