Hey guys,

Im sorry if this is the wrong forum but I'm wondering can anyone help me.
I'm looking for spanish/latin american music. The previous ones include artists like david Civera's que la detengan, Manu chao's me gusta tu or mi vida, and i came across a new one today juanes - a dios de pida. i like this type of catchy music, the likes i have heard on my holidays! could anyone recommend any further listening material?

cheers :cool:

Fito and the Fitipaldis is probably along those lines.

fito y los Fitipaldis are quite good, you could also try the following although not a big fan of all them:

El Canto del Loco

La Quinta Estación or La 5º Estación

oreja de van gogh

Nena Daconte

Julieta Venegas

beatriz luengo

again would only really like Fito out of these but maybe you can check them out and see what you think should be able to find them on itunes for samples or youtube

So many, where to being jeje. Well as you mentioned Juanes is great, he has a lot of good songs,Shakira obviously, La Oreja de Van Gogh as the above post mentions and now the lead singer Amaia Montero has gone solo and her first song quiero ser is great...RBD (Rebelde) are very popular with Mexican teenagers and I also like their catchy songs, Paulina Rubio has some good ones like 'Algo tienes'. Bellanova have an album called 'Dulce Beat' which is kinda electro-pop, some good stuff there too...Alejandro Sanz is very popluar in Spain, he has a great song with Shakira called 'te lo agredezco pero no'... so many I love all that stuff, hope you find something there you like :P

Wow! Soda Stereo and Los Redondos mentioned on an Irish forum? That's a first! lol

Those bands are absolutely brilliant. I'd also recommend the following:

El Otro Yo
Las Pelotas
Sumo (an oldie but I love them. They have not been around for ages but their story is very interesting).
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs
Babasonicos
Los Piojos
Divididos
Catupecu Machu
Massacre

Some of these bands differ in style but this list should give you a certain idea of what we listen on this side of the world.

Ah, Matador.

"Te estan buscando matador..." That used to be constantly on in the bar I hung out in in Spain.

There's not much in the way of lyrics to their music (and what there is is delivered in an almost inpenetrable Andaluz accent), but Chambao are a fabulous band.

Although they are no bands, the likes of Joaquin Sabina and Joan Manuel Serrat are very good too.

Serrat is one hell of writer.
