Spanish music suggestions?

[TheWatcher]

Going through the MySpace pages for the Coachella bands this year, and listening to Julieta Venegas I realized I don't have any Spanish music (other than Mars Volta and Santana). Any recommendations?

[vinylmartyr]

Eddie Cano. Tito Puente. Ellis Regina. Jobim. Mongo Santamaria, Tom Ze, Os Mutantes, Astruid Gilberto, Pedro Infante....... etc etc etc...

[bmack86]

Those are all good, but half are brazilian (portuguese). They're all awesome, however.

Can't believe no one's mentioned Los Planetas.

[bmack86]

Mana, Los Jaguares, Cafe Tacuba, Mano Negra and Manu Chao are all worth the listen

[omg wtf bbq]

Chayanne, Menudo, Luis Miguel

[inutil]

Argentina:Babasonicos, Gustavo Cerati (Latin Rock Legend), Fito Páez, Adres Calamaro, Soda Stereo, Juana Molina,

Mexico: Zoé, Kinky, Café Tacvba, Porter, Liquits, Fobia, Los Bunkers, Ely Guerra, Jaguaras, La Barranca.

there's really a lot of defunct bands in Rock en Espanol that are worth mentioning. this is a list bands that are still going strong or reuniting , like Heroes Del Silencio, I'm really excited about that, it's almost as big as Rage's reunion.

Mana, Kinky, Moenia

[leo01g]

No one has mentioned Los Enanitos Verdes, caifanes, soda estereo, hombres g, if you like old skool metal rata blanca

[TomAz]

old school as it may be, I still love Los Lobos.

[orbit]

If the rest of the civilized world likes MTV nowadays, I can see why they disagree with me. Libido used to be good, original, but now they just remain as a shitty sad copy of Oasis. Nobody can deny that. I still like their old songs tho, Casa de los gritos and En Esta Habitacion are not bad.

Ive not heard about El Diario de Hank, but I can recommend a really good instrumental peruvian band, Los Belkins.

Some more,
Chile representing, Lucybell.
Argentina, Gustavo Cerati. Los Fabulosos Cadillacs.
Mexico, Maldita Vecindad.

[mob roulette]

to employ a pot-ism:

rebekah del rio, bitches, where is she?

seriously though. my currently favorite female voice.

[danielcampoverde@hotmail.]

my favorites:
Manu Chao
Zoe
Caifanes
Los Tres
Babasonicos
Fobia
Belanova
El canto del Loco
and my own guilty pleasure, Marco Antonio Solis

yeah some of those are great in my opinion you should get
Manu chao
Espineta
Aterciopelados
Cafe tacuva
Babasonicos
Charly Garcia
Niñosaurios

[vicorintian]

oh and even though they split up a while ago:


Illya Kuriaki and the Valderramas

I've never heard of them.

[dynamanda]

duh. the gypsy kings. hahahhaa dammit they make me wanna shake my ass. but they sing more catalan than spanish, no?

[ledmaiden]

Check out Miles Davis's "Sketches of Spain." It's good. Also check out a lot of Chick Corea's stuff... ie. Touchstone, My Spanish Heart.
If you mean Afro-Cuban stuff, listen to the Palmieri's. Eddie and Charlie. Uhh, of course these guys are all jazz type. I don't know if that's what you meant. Batacumbele are good too.

[wisconsinboozer]

Listen to PUYA

[ewiggy]

Bebe.

[whynotsmile99]

seu jorge sings in Porteguese but it's some of the best music I've heard in my life. I love the guy, and would seriously suggest you check him out if you are getting into international music. He was the guy who did the Bowie covers in Life Aquatic and was at Coachella last year.

[dorkfish]

You should listen to some Spanish music.

[miscorrections]

wait wait wait i cannot believe no one has mentioned lhasa yet. she's incredible.
although her background is ambiguous. i think she was born in canada but grew up in mexico? anyway she sings in english/spanish/french and is utterly fabulous. her voice is sexy.

[bballarl]

Ottmar Liebert doesn't really count, but I like him.

[DeltaSigChi4]

How did I know that the timeless La Tigresa del Oriente would be incl. in those YTs you posted???

E

[artgutser]

How did I know that the timeless La Tigresa del Oriente would be incl. in those YTs you posted???

E

1.-Because, as you said, she is "timeless"
2.-Because, we can never have enough Tigresa del Oriente
3.-Because, I think I already posted the same video on some other thread. (I know, I need some new material)

PS Even though I bow down to the greatness that is La Tigresa del Oriente, there are no words to describe the feeling I get when I listen to "Torres Gemelas" by the magnificent Delfín Quishpe.

[thelastgreatman]

Orishas, a killer Cuban hip-hop group that uses a full Cuban band in their beats. Rules. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LG2Z4BQW

[Mariano]

Soda Stereo is a must

[orbit]

[orbit]

My suggestions

Bajofondo Tango Club from Uruguay/Argentina

V_xKYAYLjFs

Novalima from Peru

ZepiTaB9dDk

[miscorrections]

Lhasa. I cannot stress this enough.

[bballarl]

The Sword.

[roughtra]

Hi. I'm Spanish. The most famous Spanish indie bands are: Los Planetas, La Buena Vida, Astrud, La Habitación Roja and El Niño Gusano.

[Aurgasm]

Mayra Andrade is one of the most talented artists alive today. anyone who doesn't know her should immediately check it out. her album Navega is outstanding. She sings in Cape Verde Creole, sort of like Portuguese, as well as French.

Tunuka is my favorite song.

not spanish though...

[yeyis]

Sui Generis, Fito Paez and Jaime sin tierra (Argentina)
Nacho Vegas (Spain)

[Omar1]

fito paez would be incredible. sui generis would be dope too, but isnt charly in the crazy house?
