The band is Bai Terek. I don't know the title of the song...
Impressive throat singing!

Here's a nice French song that I came across a while back, Autour de Lucie - Promesses (1997)

Staying in the Francophonie for a bit, I quite like chansonnière Françoiz Breut. This song, Si tu disais, is from the year 2000:

Now crossing the Atlantic and going to Québec, Canada, this is Lou-Adriane Cassidy with J'espère encore que quelque part l'attente s'arrête (2021):

Another artist that I'm enough of a fan of to at least move a few CFM.

This guy is probably more mainstream as far as french artists go. In Surround 5.1 too. Awesome.

What a great thread.

Many towns will have live musical performances which include languages beyond English.

I'm a friend to Portland, Oregon musicians Pink Martini. They are a smaller big band with a vocalist. An ex of mine auditioned on vocals before China Forbes was selected. Forbes is on family break now. Sometimes Storm Large, and classic vocalists perform. I just saw Large a few week ago in a 30 person audience which included her singing classic non-english songs.

Pink Martini as an American band has had great international success performing songs in the local language on tour.

Many more.

Another acquaintance is https://nancycurtin.com/listen/ who sings in Portuguese.
