I posted an "African and Afro-Caribbean Heritage Edition" over at Lauren's, so once again, you get the, what, "melting pot"? edition (Touche pas à mon pote). I may try to alternate next Friday:

1) Πάει κι αυτό - Sadahzinia

10) Power to the People – Public Enemy

Sorry, there are two Chinese titles I forgot to romanize. Here they are, for what it's worth:

-#2 (Wang Fei): "Chulu"
-#8 (Zhang Huimei): "Bugu yiqie".
