Non-English Non-Operatic Singers?

I’ve started to post this questions a number of times over the last few months. First, I will admit that I listen to some KPop and Korean singles artists. That followed after my two boy group crazy teenage girls introduced me to KPop via long trips where they controlled the music. Next, came watching KDramas where much of the music can be the highlight of the drama. Yes, they controlled the media room. Lastly, I have a smattering of French and Brazilian music that I enjoy. Everyone avoids the two channel listening room where I have noted that much of the Korean music is nice but not well recorded.

What non-English audiophile albums are at the top of your list? I would like to expand my listening world.

I listen to a lot of French popular music, but doubt that most non-french would care for the music and/or the recording quality.

Much of his stuff is corny, but my most recent purchase was a 13 cd box set of Jean Ferrat covering "most" of his work from 1961-1972.

These were remastered and recording wise sound good.

I also have this work in an LP box set which contains material not released with the CD set.

Listen to The Umbrellas of Cherbourg @ least once a month. 

You might also look up Francoise Hardy (I only have one album that my wife purchased).

If I'm in the mood for something that resembles English my go-to is Joe Cocker.

I’ll give your suggestions a listen.

I’ve been a fan of Indila.  I suspect that she isn’t on many member’s favorite list.
