Spanish Language music
Anyone know any good music sung in Spanish? Preferably simple singer/songwriter stuff that I could learn on acoustic and sing. I'm learning Spanish and thought this would be fun/helpful.
I liked that song at the end of Amores Perros (Lucha de Gigantes), but recently bought it only to realize it doesn't have the same impact without the movie.

I want to recall that the vinyl had a lyric sheet too. I never had a CD copy...

I thought this club was for musicians. Who let the drummer in here??
Yeah, La Pistola Y El Corazon (where's my accent key?) is rediculously awesome, not just because it's Los Lobos and they're bad-asses. But those songs are spanish language classics.
I remember hearing a lot of oldies radio is Costa Rica which played stuff from all over the place and those songs would pop up all the time sung by everybody. I'm sure there are some simple chord and lyric versions. It's the timing that mr. 4/4 white boy has trouble with. (I'm speaking of myself)

actually, dont know how I missed it, but check out Caf? Tacuba as well...particularly the one Dave Fridmann (sp?) produced/recorded...
Julieta Venegas was cool as well...a little more poppy not necessarily something to play along with...if I remember correctly the CD I have is Si (don't have the accent mark on the 'i')...
enjoy.

mercedes sosa- "gracias a la vida"
compay segundo- "chan chan"
piero- "como somos," "mi viejo"
camaron de la isla- "volando voy"
fania- "el cantante"
chavela vargas- "la llorona"

good modern stuff:

for pop rock stuff definately Soda Stereo,
for more vallenato typical colombian music fused with pop, any Carlos Vives song, or "quiero que te quedes" by Adriana Lucia, I worked on that record and love that song.
Singer Songwriter Silvio Rodriguez "Ojala"

what ever you do stay clear of MANA or you will feel the brutal assault of Bland Latino pop rock
hehe

Growing up, my parents listened to a lot of latin music mostly from the 60s. I personally don't like anything new (things from about the 80s to present) that's labeled "Rock en Espa?ol" because a lot of it sounds like bad INXS covers or the singers try to flail their voices to sound more like they're singing in English.
Check out:
Los Angeles Negros (Chilean group, kind of a blend of boleros and psych rock from the late 60s).
Los Iracundos (from Paraguay, check out a song called "Puerto Montt" for something to learn on the guitar and sing). Another one that blows a lot of this newer stuff is one called "Te Lo Pido De Rodillas".
Raphael (Spanish "Pop" singer, great arrangements and the guy's vocal range is pretty amazing).
Roberto Carlos (Brasilian, yet somehow, even after I've collected a lot of his original stuff in Portugese, the Spanish stuff sounds better).
