For the thirteenth instalment of the Threadwork podcast host Ross Cale looks outside of his native tongue and presents a globetrotting selection of records predominantly sung or spoken in languages other than English. Part 1 of 2 (for now).

Tracklisting w/ links to purchase, if I can find them (these are directly related to the artists where possible but not always). Also, I take no responsibility for the links. Just trying to help…
