When Columbian superstar Juanes took his Spanish-language hit A Dios Le Pido ("I Ask God") to Britain last year, interviewers asked him who Lepido was, and why he was saying goodbye. Juanes, who was named by Time magazine as one of the most influential people in the world today, is one of many acts who haven't made it in Britain, largely because they don't sing in English.

I have no doubt that a similar story could be written about Australian audiences' reluctance to embrace songs in other languages. Xenophobia? Please explain.
