Learn Through Music

Just thought i'd start up a music thread on Spanish speaking bands/artists:
Post whoever you think will be helpful!
I'll go first:

Carlos Varela (Cuba) - Singer-songwriter from Havana. Get "Una Palabra" you may recognise it from the movie Man on Fire. Easy to understand

Buena Vista Social Club - (Cuban) Great Cuban sounds, download "De Camino a la Vereda"

Gipsy Kings - (Catalan) You all know this one.

Bersuit Vergarabat - (Argentina) Awesome rock from BA. Download "La Argentinidad (al Palo)"

Azul Azul (Bolivia) - Download "Mentirosa" for a laugh, Bolivia's answer to Sean Paul.:cool:

Onda Vaga (Argentina) - Another group from BA, not to be missed... get the album "Fuerte y Caliente"

Manu Chao (France) - Latin Folk. Sings in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Arabic.


Ok that's all I got for now if I think of any more i'll post them up..
Please add to list if you can!

draoicht

Mercedes Sosa (Argentina) One of the most famous folk singers from Latin America.
Sadly she died a couple of weeks ago.

Concha Buika (Spain) Amazing singer with an incredible voice whos style is a mixture of folk, jazz and flamenco.

Hmmm song's Iv choosen are by a more recent artist, mostly because these song's even now are still quite popular in Spain and catchy which makes them easy to learn

David Bisbal: He was a runner up in Operacion Triunfo a few years ago now, I think it was the very first show I remember I watched it when I was back in Ireland through satellite tv, it's kinda like a spanish xfactor.

Lolly, if you like karaoke then I understand, I prefer actually artists, not products.

If you're into urban/fusion I'd suggest orishas and calle 13.
