I'm a wee bit late - real struggle to find multilingual or indigenous-language songs in my orbit that I hadn't shared before. This one's a bit tenuous as it's mostly in English, but it fits the language week as well so why not. (No time to check if it's already been added tonight, I do wish for search sometimes!)
"Screems from da Old Plantation" - King Kapisi

DAY 28
A song by an artist whose voice you love

"I Love It" by Sneaky Sound System

Connie Mitchell again, different band. Fabulous voice, must be close to my most favourite. Qualifies for JFN because my first trip away from Wellington with @lotographia was for the 2015 South Island Wine & Food Festival in Christchurch, due to Sneaky Sound System headlining it 😊

DAY 14
A song you'd love to be played at your wedding

"The Lovecats" by The Cure

Tricky to find a track to fit both themes! At the hypothetical after-party of this imaginary wedding, I can feel the delight as the song builds to some kind of crescendo and comes to a final sudden stop at the end - love to try & stop dancing at just the right moment 🕺

DAY 17
A song you'd sing a duet with someone on karaoke

"There Is No Depression in New Zealand" by Blam Blam Blam

Love the black humour as much as the beat, and it feels like it'd be easy to sing/chant. Could easily have put this in for yesterday's theme, it's such an anthem.

But hey, it works for the Friday theme too (sarcasm about resilience is still about resilience)!
