Thread: Songs in Spanish

Listening to songs in English and reading the lyrics helped me to study English. Now I would like to do the same with Spanish.
I like Shakira, but she sings too fast. I can’t follow her. I don’t really like Natalia Oreiro, but I can actually understand her pronunciation. So I downloaded some of her songs and found the lyrics.
What are some other names?

Yo utilizo un plug-in para winamp que te muestra la letra de la canción que estás escuchando se lo puede bajar de leoslyrics.com, hay las letras de bastantes canciones.

Yo me inclino más por el rock argentino me gustan Los Fabulosos Cádillacs, Bersuit, Attaque 77. También me gusta Manu Chao que recién dió un concierto aquí en La Paz - Bolivia aunque canta en distintos idiomas, una radio en línea que escucho es radiochango.com en ese sitio hay varios grupos latinos alternativos. Joaquín Sabina tiene buenas letras.

He probado Mecano y.. bueno me gusta mucho! La voz de la cantante es muy bella creo, aunque las letras son un poquito extra

La cantante es Ana Torroja, que tambi

Hello I am new to this site, I was born in Cuba and have lived here in Miami, USA for the past 20+ years.
You may want to try listening to Cuban music.
The Buena Vista Social Club is a CD that I recommend...it has various Cuban artists that , to me, capture the very essence of the music of my native land.

Gracias,Jen.

Unfortuntely, I am not proficient in writing my native langauge as I would like to be, hence I joined this web site to improve my writing skills in Spanish. I can read and speak the language, but my writing skills are limited.

I was brought up in Chicago, where we were discouraged, in my younger days in school, to speak our native languages, we were told to speak English only. My parents where both working, and as so I was never tutored by them to read or write Spanish.


My father's side of the family were originally from Sevilla. Barcelona is suppose to be a very beautiful city from what I have read about it.


I tried looking at learning Russian, its much easier for me to use an audio cd and remember key phrases than to try to read the langauge...it looks very difficult.


Yo voy a tratar escribir en Espanol quando tengo mas confianza.
