I'd recommand you Kristen Bråten Berg, especially Cohen på Norsk.
Those are Leonard Cohen songs sung by her in Norwegian, absolutely wonderful.

Here are some Dutch language songs you might or might not enjoy:

Neun und neunzig Luftballoons.

Fun tune. Bass line that really gets the feet moving.

Well, Totka beat me to suggesting the Hungarian so here is what my daughter has suggested (she has music in over 30+ languages):

Japanese:
Hamasaki Ayumi
Hikaru Utada
Ishida Yoko
Do As Infinity

Finnish:
Tiktak
Indica

Russian:
Chicherina

German:
Blumchen (very upbeat/techno-y/dance-y

Kyrgyz:
Manzura

Uzbek:
Sevara Nazarkhan

Vietnamese:
Bao Han
Loan Chau

Arabic:
Nancy Ajram

I'm pretty sure you can find most of those on youtube.

Tunak Tunak Tun by Daler Mehndi is the very definition of upbeat though.

Kleizmer music, well some of it, in jidish, I consider, not only spiritual, but also very upbeat!

[Klezmer (Yiddish, kley - instrument and zemer – song); is a musical tradition which parallels Hasidic and Ashkenazic Judaism. A tradition of secular (non-liturgical) Jewish music was developed by musicians called klezmorim or kleyzmurim. They draw on devotional traditions extending back into Biblical times, and their musical legacy of klezmer continues to evolve today. The repertoire is largely dance songs for weddings and other celebrations. Due to the Ashkenazi lineage of this music, the lyrics, terminology and song titles are typically in Yiddish.

Yiddish (literally "Jewish") is a non-territorial High German language of Jewish origin, spoken throughout the world. Unlike other such languages, Yiddish is written with the Hebrew alphabet as opposed to a Latin alphabet. The language originated in the Ashkenazi culture that developed from about the 10th century in the Rhineland and then spread to central and eastern Europe and eventually to other continents. Yiddish is written and spoken in Orthodox Jewish communities around the world. It is a home language in most Hasidic communities, where it is the first language learned in childhood, used in schools, and in many social settings.]

It is not German; in no way, it is what we call “mundart” (vernacular)

Unable to provide you with any links - but someone here might be able to point you in the right direction. Having lived in that part of the world some years ago I became very partial to a lot (by no means all!) of Turkish music. At the risk of bringing down the wrath of who knows how many gods on my head - dare I suggest in the same breath giving Greek music a go as well? Some of that is very easy on the ear!

Go for all and any! Music (like food!) should be fun!!!!!
