Saluton! I've been looking for music in Esperanto, and I was wondering what your favorites were and if you could recommend me anything. I was also wondering if there are any songs sung in Esperanto in the pop genre.

Dankon!

I enjoy the song "Esperanto" by the Italian jazz-rock band DFA. The lyrics (guest sung by the lead singer of Deus Ex Machina, another Italian prog band) feature a variety of languages (primarily Italian but also French, English, German, and Spanish), but the refrain is in Esperanto:

Mi ŝatas Esperanton / Ni povas, kiel ne, paroli ĝin / en la tuta mondo.

The keyboardist Alberto Bonomi's father was an Esperantist and the inspiration for the song. Sadly, Alberto, whom I had a brief and very pleasant e-mail exchange, was killed in a car accident a few years ago at the age of 48.

Apart from the lyrics, DFA were really talented musicians - definitely worth a listen!

La Porkoj - Jen
Jxomart Kaj Natasxa - Jam Staras Cxe La Pordo Auxto (one of my favorites)
Jxomart Kaj Natasxa (kaj filino) - En Bona Espero
La Perdita Generacio - Cxu Timigas la Ombro?
La Perdita Generacio - Alia Aventuro
La Perdita Generacio - Senpromese, Senperfide
IDC - La Fina Venk'
IDC - Berlino Sen Vi (I like this one a lot)

I like almost everything Jxomart and Natasxa have, and La Perdita Generacio is good for some pop/folk-y stuff. Persone seems kind of like 90's-esque pop rock. IDC is more of an electro-pop style. I found I like listening to slower songs with more understandable lyrics at first.

(just realized all of the links but the last one go to my playlist, so there are a lot more songs on there if you are interested; these are just some of my favorites)

EDIT
Another great song I forgot:
IDC - Hejmen

Sorry the response is so late; I'm active on this forum only intermittently. Here are the lyrics: http://kantaro.ikso.net/ami. It lists the writer as "Valentina NAN", but they're the same lyrics. When I'm looking for the lyrics of an Esperanto song, kantaro.ikso.net is always my first stop ridulo.gif.
