las valadas romanticas

Question

A new friend told me her favorite music is "las valadas romanticas", is that a genre of music or a specific band? And did she misspell valadas and mean baladas? From what I can tell it's a type of genre, but I wanted to be sure. Anyone familiar with that?

Answer 1

Looks like romatic ballads to me, cheese. Just an opinion.

Las canciones de amor.

Answer 3

In any event, you're right Cheeseis - it's "baladas".

Answer 4

In spanish the V is very similar to the B sound, so they are confused by native speakers often.

• Acustically, yes. But t does not excuse the spelling of "valada" in writing! - Gekkosan Mar 28, 2010

Answer 5
