Answer 3

Guantanamera is one of my favorites
you can hear it here.
The lyrics are there also but the translation is not too good.
Wikipedia has a good translation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamera#Lyrics

I also love that song Guantanamera. It was the version of the Sandpipers that I was used to hearing in my teen years. So long ago... - Rikko, MAR 17, 2010

Answer 4

Personally, I LOVE Daddy Yankee and Wisin y Yandel.
My favorite Daddy songs are No Me Dejes Solo, Soy Lo Que Soy, y Bring it On.
A Cuban song I really like is Gaujira by Yerba Buena.
Also, El Estuche, by Los Aterciopelados.

I love El Estuche, also Yo Te Quiero by Winsin y Yandel! - rodneyp, OCT 12, 2011

Answer 5

My favorites are:
El Cantante (Hector Lavoe)
Que Leo (Hector... again)
There's one more but I can't remember.

And Hector Lavoe isn't alive anymore, but he was the creator of Salsa (the music genre)

Answer 6

A slight correction:

Elvis Crespo, and the song is titled 'Suavemente'

Great song, anytime it's played at a wedding in my family, the dance floor is immediately flooded.

Answer 7

No, I haven't seen the movie. What's it called? I am not sure about the first sentence? what first sentence? 'mas como que' doesn't ring true in my head. Cuesta Arriba sounds like a good play on words. Gardel's emotional expressions seem to capture painful and almost divine experiences that ring with authenticity. Another composer that is in this league is Agustin Lara. Aah words! Feeling then expressing, whew!

Answer 8

I have also translated Cuesta Abajo, a favorite. Tell me what you think. So much is implied, it is difficult to do it justice. One does get hung up in literal translation, but it is just not possible.
Although I have dragged through out the world
The shame of a has-been
And the sorrow of failure,

Under the brim of my hat
How many times, hidden,
A tear slipped out
That I could not hold back ?

Whether I traveled life's paths
As an outcast whom Destiny
Was determined to destroy,
(or)
I may have been careless,
I may have been blind,

(nevertheless,)

Today I only want for you to recognize
The value of one who has
The courage to love

Answer 9

Here's one of my favourite cuban songs in one of many fabulous versions: Veinte Años performed by Bebo Valdez y Diego el Cigala. They have a magnificent album called 'Lagrimas Negras' in which they perform songs from all over the Latin world. Diego is Spanish and Bebo is Cuban.

There are some wonderful modern tango singers. Two of my favourites are Sandra Luna and Horacio Avilano. Here is Sandra Luna singing the vals 'Que nadie sepa mi sufrir'. There are lots of versions of this song on YouTube so I suspect it is quite popular. Los Lobos do a pretty cool version on their album 'La pistola y el corazon'. Here are the lyrics. BTW I am pretty sure that this was written by Argentines so I am not sure why it is often referred to as a vals peruano. Can anyone clear this up?

There are way too many fabulous tango lyrics to pick out only one or two. However at the moment, one of my favourites is [url=http://www.lyricsspot.com/jos+gonz+lez+castillo-sobre+el+pucho-lyrics-1059494.html]Sobre el pucho[/url].

Answer 10

El Canto Del Loco
-Por ti
-Desaparace

Answer 11

Por eso, debo clasificar mi comentario teniendo en cuenta la dificultad añadida de escribir acerca de los textos de alguien que escribe sobre algo que desconozco ( pero tengo ganas de conocer).

This is a difficult sentence, but I hope you understand.

I didn't actually write this...not sure what it is supposed to mean, since it seems to have nothing to do with the question...I don't know how to take it out, but I wanted to say that I didn't write it. - Carol, NOV 19, 2010

Answer 12

There was a song very popular here in the Philippines in the 50s and 60s. It's Ernesto Lecuona's "Noche Azul". I don't know if anyone else here has heard of it, but almost everyone who played the piano here then would play it. I would also hear it on the radio very often. Even us children then could hum the tune. So, if the criteria is popularity, Noche Azul should qualify, but maybe only in my country.

I seen to remember the title but I am not familiiar with the song. What was popular at that time in my part of the country was Besame Mucho and other Julio Iglesia songs.Nice to meet you here. - Lorna-Gray, MAY 23, 2010
