Spanish music! Options

[radhikaeatsraman]

So yeah, I'm like, really into Spanish music & I was wondering if any other people up in this piece were, too.

¿Alguien?

[*Zatanna*]

I love world music. My deal is Brazillian though. I love Astrud Gilberto, for example.

[*disco infiltrator*]

Haha, entertainment?

[Simba]

Ha ha. Of course you were the one to make this topic.

[technicolour]

Does Selena count?

[*Zatanna*]

----> Moved to Entertainment

:)

[radhikaeatsraman]

Yes, I would make a topic about this. Selena counts, OF COURSE! <3 Selena.

Good, because, thats the only thing I pretty much know about Spanish music. Know/listen to.


Gotta love Texas.

[Nymphetamine]

I HATE Spanish music, especially hip hop. Disgusting!

[radhikaeatsraman]

Uh, Sandra...by Spanish music, I mean music in the Spanish language. Hip-hop isn't necessarily a spanish language genre.

[Nymphetamine]

^ Erm, Hip hop (Hip hop IN Spanish). And I also said 'especially'. So I'm not talking of Spanish hip hop in general.

[radhikaeatsraman]

Ohh, okay. 'Cause I wasn't understanding what you were saying.

[Nymphetamine]

Over here, they play them a lot. Seriously, it's disgusting!

[*nightmare4taki*]

Ha ha. Of course you were the one to make this topic.

Yeah when I saw spanish I knew right then who it was.

I like reggaeton.

Like Pitbull and Daddy Yankee lol.

[radhikaeatsraman]

I like reggaeton, too! It's an acquired taste, imo.

[*yrrnotelekktric*]

Mariachi, cumbia and bachata.
ALEJANDRO FERNANDEZ!

[radhikaeatsraman]

WHEEE! Spanish music fans. :DD

& I love cumbia, too. I never knew how to spell it until now. So, thank you!

[iROCKYOURSOCKS]

I LOVE SPANISH MUSIC!!!! i love sin banderas and selena and luis miguel and alejandro fernadez and the kumbia kings and daddy yankee lol.

[hi-C]

Me gusta Juanes!

[radhikaeatsraman]

^Me too! I really like his new album "Mi Sangre."

[TrulyOutrageous]

[i]Wow it's nice to see the appreciation you guys have for spanish music.
I'm also a huge fan of the latin music industry.

Oh yeah Hi I'm new here

[Selv]

I only like spanish songs if they have a cool roll on thier tounge (like shakiria) or if they are good dancing/upbeat music (example: Gasolinia)

[*My Cinderella.*]

Some spanish songs are pretty addicting like Rompe.

[hi-C]

^Me too! I really like his new album "Mi Sangre."

This past school year, I got to work for the company that designs his concert swag and I got to get some free t-shirts They're the reason why I got into Juanes. I figured if I was going to work on stuff involving him, I should expose myself to his music.

[radhikaeatsraman]

LUCKYYYY. Send me some free stuff?

[hi-C]

^ If I work there again this year, I don't see why not

[LiLEthiopian]

Yes, I would make a topic about this. Selena counts, OF COURSE! <3 Selena.

I listen to Selena's spanish songs! There is nothing wrong with that. I think she is really talented.

Baila Esta Cumbia
La Carcacha

Don Omar ...my cousins bf is actually working with one of his songs in his next album ..which is quite cool . he also have done the latin album for Jay`z black album and is curretnly doing an album for Big Pun . as for me i guess reggaeton is ok ...im just into alot of things more jazzy and soulful .

[soo x nyc x]

i like spanish music but mostly reggaton and daddy yankeee

[Jane Doe.]

I love Juanes. But I don't really like his newest album. I think his first and second albums are better. I'd recommend you download..err, buy them. Oh, and Shakira! Check out ¿Donde Estan Los Ladrones? and any of her earlier work. It's not like her English stuff, so you should be..surprised?
Oh! And there is a group I listen to called Gotan Project. If you like obscure, almost-poetic music--that's nearly "electric tango," you should look them up. Maybe you'd like Caifanes. They remind me of a Mexican version of the Cure. Oh! And Maná? They're like, classic rock. Mayhaps you'd like some of their stuff. I haven't really paid much attention to their albums since I grew up listening to them. Lawl. OH OH. DOWNLOAD "Zapatos Viejos" by Gloria Treví! I USED TO SING IT 24/7...when I was three. Hah. And I've heard good things about La Oreja de Van Gogh but never really looked them up. Hmm. Okay, I'll shut up now :x.

[radhikaeatsraman]

Yes, Juanes is awesome, that's a given. But I don't know, Maná reminds me too much of Nickleback, especially due to their new song, "Labios Compartidos." Meh, maybe I should listen to more of their stuff before judging them.

edit: I downloaded "Zapátos Viejos"! Omg, I seriously think I've heard that song before.
edit2: OMG, Gotan Project = amazing.

BUMMMMMP.

Yeah, so Calle 13 is pretty awesome too...

[cambece]

I think Flamenco music is great.

[DarkImpressions]

Im sure if I understood what they were saying I would like it but to me it sounds like circus music

[ChaosPunx]

As far as spainish music goes i really like a band called Oi!Por Ellas Thier not well known in america or Mexico but their a super good band!

[radhikaeatsraman]

Julieta Venegas! :D (Any love for her?)

Some people have expressed their blatant disgust for reggaeton, but it's just so damn catchy, I can't stop listening! If you like mainstream hip-hop/rap in English, you'll like reggaeton. In terms of songs, I'm really enjoying "Ay Chico" by Pitbull. It's not deep or interesting like Gotan Project, but it's so danceable!

[*a painefull euphoria*]

Im sure if I understood what they were saying I would like it but to me it sounds like circus music

then you probably have been exposed to the 12 am anoying wake up call music also known as "mexican rancho"music.
equevelent to crappy contry music


selena is a goddess.

[radhikaeatsraman]

Im sure if I understood what they were saying I would like it but to me it sounds like circus music

Then you, my dear, are listening to the wrong kind of music. Ranchero is the Mexican equivalent of country; a select few like it, but about 98% of the population prefer the demise of such crap that doesn't even deserve to be called music.

[*a painefull euphoria*]

^^actualy a good majority like that type of music.
especialy the more rural/montain side of mexico.
and in the older generations too.

today the younger generation like that rageton shit.
i for one think it makes us latinos look even more like a bunch of assholes.

[shortcake]

BUMMMMMP.

Yeah, so Calle 13 is pretty awesome too...

i think Calle 13 is awesome, they need some more music though. I absolutely love Mana, i think they're great. I learned my spanish (besides from my parents) but alos because of Selena, i memorized her songs. I think Juanes is good too, i like the earlier album; he somewhat remidns me of Ricardo Arjona (if you know who he is). And i like Shakira, but not so much when she sings in English. I like regeatton, kind of sick of Don Omar but he;s good. I love the kind of spanish songs where you know you just have to get up and shake your butt. for sure.

Currently listening to: Mas Maiz by N.O.R.E.

i must say i CANNOT stand that type of music. i think its extremely annoying. i like regeaton cuz of the beat ( the lyrics are not the best messages) but at least it's a type of music that you just wanna get up and dance to. not the "mexican ranchera music"

RBD RockS!
