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)

Koit?
Anne Veski – Atmosfäär
Probably the most widely loved band we’ve ever had here would be Vennaskond. [This](https://youtu.be/ZvOmf-rh1jc) is one of their biggest hits, Metallica even covered it when they performed here.
Personally though, I would nominate [this one](https://youtu.be/aO_WLJ4rQcs).
Genialistid – Leekiv Armastus

“Singer Vinger” has a lot of great hits, like “Kalkar”, “Kasevete aeg”, “Aino on ainus”.

Put ‘meri on meri jääb’
That’s a really neat project! It’s honestly really hard to tell what “captures” the “feeling” of a country’s music. 😀 Should one go for the kind of music popular on the radio, like Shanon, Liis Lemsalu etc? Something that’s distinctly folk-inspired like Metsatöll, Duo Ruut, Vägilased, something distinctly patriotic, something that’s about contemporary estonian experience etc. etc.
I think I’ll throw Dagö’s “[Teine Kadriorg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxYUlfqvKqE&t=66s)” into the fray. Chill sound, deep lyrics akin to a poem, no idea what the genre is but I definitely think it sounds “estonian” from the subject matter.

Kreisiraadio – Leto Svet

I really like trad! Attack, because they use a lot of folk songs and remix them. Also curly strings is a band that I like. A lot of newer Estonian music is so similar to what’s popular internationally, so I’d stay away from nublu and 5Miinust. If you’re into older songs, I recommend ruja. Pretty much any of their songs would be fine. Ivo linna and Anne veski are also older artists that are very popular and beloved. I also have to mention vaiko eplik’s “soorebased” because it’s just a beautiful song.
Alo Mattiisen – Ei ole ükski üksi maa

42GO mul on bemmil iued kummid
42GO – bemmi kummid, everything else can fuck off
[Saarema valss](https://youtu.be/W0jCum_m_w4), An Estonian classic!
If I were you, I’d try to nail it down to one, broad genre. Or else you’ll get Romanian dance-pop followed by Finnish death metal and it will be one fucked playlist.
Rock is broad as hell, so here are my 3 picks, all rock songs from the 90s or 00s.
* [Vennaskond – Pille-Riin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nphSa39Kn7k)
* [The Tuberkuloited – Põhjamaa neid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-dygAoLUsg)
* [House of Games – Sinu unenäod](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2MhMZ9BvPA)
