Spanish Music

apollos · 24th December 2003, 15:23

Recently I've been getting into quite a bit of Spanish and Latin American Spanish music. I've been listening to Gloria Estefan and some other CDs of my Venezuelan friends in Plymouth and it's all very nice.

I was wondering if people could give me a few recommendations of some decent Spanish music to listen to

Thank you

one of my fav songs

If you're looking at an album or CD, then I'd recommend:

'Vuelve' by Ricky Martin

Other singles I'd recommend you:

Marco da Silva - La Bamba (who can forget that classic?

)
Las Ketchup - Sevillanas Pink
Los Del Rio - Macarena
El Mariachi (Desperado soundtrack)

The ever popular parade and beloved pep band song:

SPANIA!

Maná is really good, we listened to them in Spanish class
Jarabe De Palo is also pretty cool

I have that first song (the one where Antonio Banderas sings) playing in my head for about a month now, that's when my boyfriend gave me the Desperado OST - and now I even read something about it in the forums!

But I really like the CD and that song is just awesome...

Unfortunately I don't know any band names since when I listen to, lets say, Salsa for example (I really want to learn how to dance salsa right, I only know some basic moves...) I never remember who the interprets were, I have to listen and write down some names the next time!

For Salsa, try Celia Cruz and Tito Puente, both are LEGENDS, can't go wrong with either one.

For Latin Rock, try Juanes, I've currently got two of his songs: Fotografia w/ Nelly Furtado and A Dios Le Pido.

And you started out right with Gloria Estefan. A lot of people just remember her music from the 80's with The Sound Machine, but she has done a lot in the Latin music scene.

Other genre's to branch out into eventually: Merengue and Bachata. Both are based out of the Dominican Republic and was once frowned down upon by other Latinos for being "country/backwoods". But, in the clubs, that's all you'll hear now

When searching for tracks, try WinMX, and type Latin Remix, there are some remix tracks that'll have the genres thrown in and are pretty good.

Mmmmh, that reminds me of the two weeks trip to the Dominican republic with my boyfriend, we were in a hotel right at the sea, it was wonderful

(I was he really into the music they playes each night at the hotel!)

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Gypsy Kings yet!

Also if you can find it, anything by Javid is excellent.

I have the following suggestion ROJO (www.rojoweb.com)
in the site you until he can make the download of some music

A couple of other tracks to look out for :

Chan Chan - Buena Vista Social Club.

Utru Horos - Orchestra Baobab.

The second is one of the finest Latin tracks ever recorded, despite the band coming from Senegal in Africa. It achieved almost legendary status before becoming generally available on CD. Knockout track.

I'm glad to hear that, Mia

El Mariachi is one my all-time favourite Soundtracks

Besides shooting out a big blank from your buttock, you can feel as if your root chakra leaked sweet hot mucus.
