Spanish-language Music

Postby mordel » January 8th, 2008 12:40 am

I like to keep the language in my ears when I can... anyone have favorite albums that have Spanish-language lyrics? Pop, punk, folk, whatever.

I ran across the site Jamendo, which has a collection of Creative-Commons music. Here's their collection of music tagged "Spanish": http://www.jamendo.com/en/tag/spanish

So: favorite musicians, bands, styles.... what do you like?

My favorite spanish bands

Hi mordel:

Nice question. Well, I'll give you my three favorite spanish bands/musicians.

1. Nacho Vegas. I love this song:

2. Enrique Bunbury. One of my favorite songs:

3. Maga. I love the way he sings, though I have to admit that it doesn't sound clear (even if you know spanish!)

Peruvian Music

Postby Joseph » January 15th, 2008 3:04 am

¡Hola, amigos!

I thought I would share with you some examples of Peruvian Music. I hope to lengthen this list, since Peruvian music covers a wide spectrum, and it would be a mistake to think that any of these songs on their own are completely representative of it as a whole. Anyway, I tried to show a few different genres.

Mal Paso (Performed by Eva Ayllon, Style "Valz")
Listen/Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j52hW3e ... re=related

Nada Soy (Performed by Eva Ayllon, Style "Valz")
Listen/Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trR7i7Zx ... re=related

Valetín (Performed by Susana Baca, Style "Landó")
Listen/Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptSC60Y4 ... re=related

Una Copla Me Ha Contado (Performed by Susana Baca, Adapted from the poem by Violeta Parra, Style "Golpe")
Listen/Watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk_WY36p ... re=related
Read: http://www.trovadores.net/nc.php?NM=1513

Also, here is an example of the famous northern Peruvian dance "la marinera": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYGOU9Xo ... re=related. This dance is "un cortejo" (a courting) between the man and the woman. Notice how they don't touch each other, no matter how close they get!

¡Espero que les gusten las canciones!

Saludos,

Joseph
