![]() This song from Bomba Estéreo is called Soy Yo, and pretty much the only self-love anthem you need. In fact, they actually did a song together, Carnavalera.Īlso, Bomba Estereo have collaborated with one of my favourite bands, Sofi Tukker, who don’t sing in Spanish but do have some Portuguese lyrics. Both from Colombia, both have these fun, ridiculously cool hooks. If you love Systema Solar, you’ll probably like Bomba Estereo too. It’s not one of their most famous songs but I trained for an ultramarathon to this song so I’m sharing ‘Aló?’. Hailing from Colombia, Systema Solar make playful music with fun and sometimes experimental sounds and beats. If it’s fun, sunny sounds you’re after then this one’s for you. Silencio feels like a good place to start if you’re new to Jorge Drexler. He has quite a snappy acoustic sound that your mum would approve of. (See what I did there? I could totally present a TV variety show with weak segues…) Going from one ‘guay’ to the other, next up is Jorge Drexler. There’s like this Latin rock vibe going on with some serious ska influence too. ![]() I was introduced to Kchiporros at Asuncionico in Paraguay back in 2018. Related: All The Language Learning Listening Resources That You’ll Ever Need Kchiporros Ojos Así also adds a total Middle Eastern vibe to that whole album with some Arabic lyrics in there as well. (Because it’s basically the reason I learnt Spanish) It’s full of instruments, full of joy, and definitely one of my favourite albums ever. ❽ónde Están Los Ladrónes? is the Shakira you never knew you needed. But, have you ever gone back and listening to her pre-Laundry Service stuff? And I bet you probably already know Shakira. And win.Īnd there’s still some heavy drawing from traditional Latin rhythms which makes my heart happy. It will make you feel ready to take on the world. It’s called Almadura – a play on words of ‘alma dura’, hard soul, and ‘armadura’, armour. Her second album is one of my favourites so far of 2019. Maybe a litte jazzy, maybe a little acoustic-y, maybe a little Norah Jones-Latin lovechild. Her debut album iLevitable is pretty cool. And totally deserves to be here in her own right. (Again with the capital letters, just like those Kool Koreans) Even sampling Justin Timberlake’s Cry Me A River on BAGDAD.īut if there’s one song you need to draw you in from the get go, it’s MALAMENTE. This is where it gets interesting.Īgain, still drawing from those flamenco rhythms and sounds and claps, but this time bringing in much more modern and experimental sounds too. Her second album, El Mal Querer, I mean, wow. A pretty pure flamenco record, in a modern context. Inspired by her studies of flamenco music in her home country of Spain, her first album does not quite prepare you for what’s to come. Rosalía has collaborated with J Balvin, who is undeniably reggaeton. ![]() Told you we’d get the big glaring obvious ones out of the way first. So we’ll start with Desencuentro, which you’ll love if you love language because there’s French in it too. My favourite is Somon Anormales but the video for that is a little on the NSFW side. Then he made an album inspired by the music in those places. Here’s the story…he took one of those DNA tests to see his origins. So Residente was in the band Calle 13, and some of their stuff might be classed as reggaeton.īut Residente’s first solo album (also called Residente) is one of the greatest albums I’ve ever heard. Let’s get the big ones out of the way first that you may be thinking, “Hey! Isn’t that reggaeton? You promised me no reggaeton!”
