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.

[bmack86]

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

Chayanne, Menudo, Luis Miguel

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.

That's an OPINION.

The rest of the civilized world disagrees with you.

[TomAz]

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.

The impoverished people of el Peru don't have MTV.

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.
