Do you like listening to music that's in a language you don't speak?

China's music is great

Love story in the rain, from fun mountain minorities
Inner Mongolians keeping their culture alive
State-approved hip hop bigging up your hometown

My brother used to be an avid collector of black metal, along with its various subgenres, much of which are parcelled up in the guttural heathen languages of various fringe European nations. The genre draws heavily on mythology and folklore, and there are sometimes strong currents of nationalism running through it. I hope that I never unknowingly nodded my head along, in affirmation, to a song extoling the glories of national socialism, but who knows. I suppose that, when the Simon Wiesenthal Centre is done bringing the last of the centenarian Nazis to justice, people like me will be next on their list.

For foreign music, mainly Arabic and Bosnian, with some others from various languages like Italian or Japanese .
 
Personally, I like music in the person's native language. The meaning, melody, and rhythm is kept. Plus, it's a fun way to keep you learning bits and pieces of other languages.

Edit: Fun, not gun.

I can half ass understand frog but am not going to claim fluency. Northern French are dicks about/to non-native speakers, but the south I found very open and helpful. Go to Lyon, fuck Paris.
