Music recommendations

Question

Hi there

I'm doing my best to learn Spanish and I noticed that the easiest way to learn some vocabulary is (apart from reading novels, what I already do) listen to Spanish music. This way I can almost effortless learn new words Yet, it's quite hard to find Spanish music I like. I found Orishas but I prefer some good old hard rock or progressive rock over hip-hop. Pop is fine too, yet not Aguilera etc. I tried browsing "spanish", "spanish hard rock" etc. tags on last.fm but I didn't find anything interesting. Perhaps you could recommend me some nice Spanish music? I'd be grateful

Answer 1

Hey there Jakub! Have you tried listening to any of the contemporary music in Spanish? There's Juanes. He's pretty popular and his lyrics are influenced by ongoing events. I personally like Maná as well as Alejandro Sanz. I am not sure if any of these would qualify as hard or progressive rock though. I heard someone say that YouTube was a good source of music from Spanish speaking countries. You might want to explore that.

Answer 2

Try searching rock en español as a genre. You'll find a ton of stuff. Some you like. some you don't... as it should be.

Answer 3

Yes, Juanes is my favorite but nowadays I listen to Tiziano Ferro , also this : Bajo Fondo tango Club - mareo

I love that song , espero que les guste como a mi

Answer 4

I've been listening to Enrique Iglesias to help my Spanish learning - I really like his music.

Answer 5

Jakub,

Try www.youtube.com./a> rock en español

Answer 6

yes indeed Jakub, I have found that listening to Los Trio is very good for improving my Spanish, They are 3 chaps who play guitars and they tend to sing quite slow romantic stuff that gives you time to look up words that you may not know. I like it very much

Answer 8

And if you are willing to take a trip to yesteryear, Check out Trio Los Panchos. Especially if you like Los Trio. They wouldn't be the same group if not for Los Panchos.

Answer 9

My favorite is a Spanish duo from Spain, Amaral. Nice music, clearly understood words, with good grammar and everything.
