Maybe next music post include more contemporary artists like Pablo Alboran 🙂
Thanks for commenting 🙂 We’ll keep that in mind, we actually love Pablo Alborán!
thanks for sharing. this is fun. one small suggestion, maybe post lyrics of these songs as well?
what about some songs from Cuba? They have excellent songs and music! In addition as the other comment mentioned,I would like to have the lyrics to this song.I could not find in online dictionary the meaning of some titles here…
Hi Fatemeh! Thanks for commenting! Bebo Valdés, the pianist in the last track was actually Cuban! He was amazing 🙂 (The album was recorded in Spain, though.) But, yes, there is a lot of great music played and recorded in the island!
Regarding the lyrics, unfortunately we cannot post them here because of copyright issues, but I’m sure you can find good translations of some of them if you do a search on Google. Hope this helps!
Hey–want to listen to a really great singer, check out Chavela Vargas.
Chavela was amazing 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0ywZ0LZG-A
The sound on your choice of Chavela Vargas is very poor. Try another tape to introduce her to those who do not yet know her work.

Shakira
Mostly English but the Spanish is pretty basic to sing with and understand
