Subject: Spanish Music/Artists of all Decades

Written By: Henk on 01/26/09 at 5:22 pm

Since we already have a thread on French music and one on Italian music... ::) ;)

(Don't worry: I won't be starting a thread on Dutch music .... any time soon! :P)


Any Spanish songs / music / artists you like in particular? ??? Post 'em here. I'll start..


This young girl won the Junior European Song Contest a couple of years ago, and her song is still ringing in my ears.
Maria-Isabel - Antes Muerte Que Sencilla
As far as I know, "Antes Muerte Que Sencilla" means something like "I'd rather die than be boring" - but I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong.


Another haunting song: Mecano - Hijo De La Luna

Henk!...thanks, for starting this thread. I was gonna do one myself, but you beat me to it. Karma+1

Anyhoo...there are numerous Spanish-language songs that I enjoy.
To start with, there are the four Spanish tracks on Shakira's Laundry Service:

Te Dejo Madrid
Que Me Quedes Tu
Suerte (Whenever Wherever in Spanish)
Te Avicio, Te Anuncio (Objection Tango in Spanish)


Recently, I found out about a song called "Mi Destino Eres Tu", by an artist named Lucero. I listened to it on Youtube a while back and posted the link to it; if I can find it I'll point it out one more time.

Edit: I also enjoy both the Spanish and English versions of "Arrasando/It's My Party" by Thalia.

'The Ketchup Song (Asereje)' by Las Ketchup.  It was cheesy, but catchy.  I think I have the CD Single of it packed away lol


And how about that late 70s classic 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie' by Baccara

And who can forget the greatly overplayed 'Macarena' by Los Del Rio / Los Del Mar

Los Del Rio were the ones who took it to #1 (or near #1) world-wide, but it was Los Del Mar who had the #1 hit with it in Canada.  Even though they are from Spain, their version qualified for CANCON because of singer Wil Veloz

That's right Henk, she doesn't want to be in the dumb at all 8), before under the grass. ::)

I'll also give you "Jarabe de Palo" and its "Depende"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTvhW8lDHFk

Que el blanco sea blanco
que el negro sea negro
que uno y uno sean dos
como exactos son los números
Depende

Que aquí estamos de prestao
que el cielo esta nublao
que uno nace y luego muere
y este cuento se ha acabao
Depende
Depende ¿de qué depende?
de según como se mire, todo depende

Que bonito es el amor
mas que nunca en Primavera
que mañana sale el sol
y que estamos en Agosto
Depende

que con el paso del tiempo
el vino se hace bueno
que to lo que sube, baja
de abajo arriba y de arriba abajo
Depende
Depende ¿de qué depende?
de según como se mire, todo depende

Que no has conocido a nadie
que te bese como yo
que no hay otro hombre en tu vida
que de ti se beneficie
Depende

y si quiere decir si
cada vez que abres la boca
que te hace muy feliz
que sea el día de tu boda
Depende
Depende ¿de qué depende?
de según como se mire, todo depende


Do you know waht it means jarabe de palo ? ;)

Well I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy this thread as well as the other ones, of course.

But I would like..... :-\\

Maná - Rayando el Sol

Rayando el sol
Rayando por ti
Esta pena me duele, me quema sin tu amor
No me has llamado estoy desesperado
Son muchas lunas las que te he llorado

Rayando el sol
OH EH OH
Desesperación!
Es más fácil llegar al sol que a tu corazón
Me muero por ti
OH EH OH
Viviendo sin ti
Y no aguanto, me duele tanto estar así
Rayando el sol

A tu casa yo fui, y no te encontré
En el parque, en la plaza, en el cine yo te busqué
Te tengo atrapada, entre mi piel y mi alma
Más ya no puedo tanto y quiero estar junto a ti

Rayando el sol
OH EH OH
Desesperación!
Es más fácil llegar al sol que a tu corazón
Rayando por ti
Uuuuuhh, rayando, rayando el sol
Ay ay ay ay rayando el sol
Rayando por ti

No quiero estar sin ti
Si tu no estas aqui me sobra el aire
No quiero estar asi
Si tu no estas la gente se hace nadie.

Si tu no estas aqui no se
Que diablos hago amandote
Si tu no estas aqui sabras
Que Dios no va a entender por que te vas.

No quiero estar sin ti
Si tu no estas aqui me falta el sueño
No quiero andar asi
Latiendo un corazon de amor sin dueño.

Si tu no estas aqui no se
Que diablos hago amandote
Si tu no estas aqui sabras
Que Dios no va a entender por que te vas

Derramare mis sueños si algun dia no te tengo
Lo mas grande se hara lo mas pequeño
Paseare en un cielo sin estrellas esta vez
Tratando de entender quien hizo
Un infierno el paraiso
No te vayas nunca porque

No puedo estar sin ti
Si tu no estas aqui me quema el aire.

Si tu no estas aqui no se
Que diablos hago amandote
Si tu no estas aqui sabras
Que Dios no va a entender por que te vas

Si tu no estas aqui no se
Que diablos hago amandote
Si tu no estas aqui sabras
Que Dios no va a entender por que te vas

Si tu no estas aqui

Did you hear "Pongamos que hablo de Madrid" ?

Joaquin Sabina singing along with Rosario Flores a famous gipsy singer who performs pop music in flamenco style.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot95xqjElvY


Allá donde se cruzan los caminos,
donde el mar no se puede concebir,
donde regresa siempre el fugitivo.
Pongamos que hablo de Madrid.

Donde el deseo viaja en ascensores
un agujero queda para mí,
que me dejo la vida en sus rincones...

Las niñas ya no quieren ser princesas
y a los niños les da por perseguier el mar
dentro de un vaso de ginebra...

Los pájaros visitan al psiquiatra,
las estrellas se olvidan de salir,
la muerte pasa en ambulancias blancas...

El sol es una estufa de butano,
la vida un metro a punto de partir,
hay una jeringa en el lavabo...

Cuando la muerte venga a visitarme
no me despiertes, déjame dormir.
Aquí he vivido, aquí quiero quedarme.

I hardly ever listen to any Spanish-language music, but there was this one song by Nek called "La Vida Es" from 2000 that I found incredibly infectious when I heard it on the radio:

Pedro Guerra - Contaminame

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RK8BTURLhs

Cuéntame el cuento, del árbol dátil
de los desiertos, de las mezquitas
de tus abuelos.
Dame los ritmos de las darbucas
y los secretos que hay en los libros
que yo no leo ...
Contamíname,
pero no con humo
que asfixia el aire.
Ven, pero sí con tus ojos y con tus bailes
Ven, pero no con la rabia y los malos sueños
Ven, pero sí con los labios que anuncian besos
Contamíname, mézclate conmigo
que bajo mi rama
tendrás abrigo.
Contamíname, mézclate conmigo
que bajo mi rama
tendrás abrigo.
Cuéntame el cuento de las cadenas
que te trajeron, de los candados
y los viajeros.
Dame los ritmos de los tambores
y los voceros, del barrio antiguo
y del barrio nuevo.
Contamíname,
pero no con el humo
que asfixia el aire.
Ven, pero sí con tus ojos y con tus bailes
Ven, pero no con la rabia y los malos sueños
Ven, pero sí con los labios que anuncian besos
Contamíname, mézclate conmigo
que bajo mi rama
tendrás abrigo.
Contamíname, mézclate conmigo
que bajo mi rama
tendrás abrigo.
Cuéntame el cuento de los que nunca
se descubrieron, del río verde
y de los boleros.
Dame los ritmos de los busuquis
los ojos negros, la danza inquieta
del hechicero.
Contamíname,
pero no con el humo
que asfixia el aire
Ven, pero sí con tus risas y con tus bailes
Ven, pero no con la rabia y los malos sueños
Ven, pero sí con los labios que anuncian besos
Contamíname, mézclate conmigo
que bajo mi rama
tendrás abrigo.
Contamíname, mézclate conmigo
que bajo mi rama
tendrás abrigo.
Contamíname, mézclate conmigo
que bajo mi rama
tendrás abrigo.
Contamíname, mézclate conmigo
que bajo mi rama
tendrás abrigo.

Good tender song Dizzy  ;)

Entre mis recuerdos.-

Cuando la pena cae sobre mi
El mundo deja ya de existir
Miro hacia atras y busco entre mis recuerdos
Para encontrar la niña que fui
Y algo de todo lo que perdi
Miro hacia atras y busco entre mis recuerdos
Sueño con noches brillantes al borde
De un mar de aguas claras y puras
Y un aire cubierto de azahar
Cada momento era especial
Dias de prisas, tardes de paz
Miro hacia atras y busco entre mis recuerdos
Yo quisiera volver a encontrar la pureza
Nostalgia de tanta inocencia que tan poco tiempo duró
Con el veneno sobre mi piel
Frente a las sombras de la pared
Miro hacia atras y busco entre mis recuerdos
Y si las lagrimas vuelven
Ellas me haran mas fuerte.

Yo quisiera volver a encontrar la pureza
Nostalgia de tanta inocencia que tan poco tiempo duró
Cuando la pena cae sobre mi
Quiero encontrar aquello que fui
Miro hacia atras y busco entre mis recuerdos
Vuelvo hacia atras y busco entre mis recuerdos.
