Spanish language music anyone?

Uhm. I was just listening to old Marc Anthony. xD

Seriously, Spanish progressive rock is phenomenally scrumptious.

I just listened to Laura non esta and I'd say I definitely prefer the italian version. Italian is just a more melodic language...

Hi everyone. I can make some suggestions...

May be you like El Último de la Fila. They sound like Police with a touch of flamenco.

Listen to these songs:

Aviones plateados
Insurrección
Llanto de pasión
Lápiz y tinta
Mar antiguo

Manolo García left the band and began a solo career. Some of his hits: Pájaros de barro, Si te vienes conmigo, Rosa de Alejandría, Nunca el tiempo es perdido...

Café Quijano (not be confused with Café Tacuba). La Lola:

La taberna del buda ("The Buda's Tavern"):

Flamenco-pop

I agree. Héroes is a top band. The singer, Enrique Bunbury, started a solo career. One of his best songs is Lady Blue, an homage to Bowie's Space Oddity:

I just heard "salta". Esta buena la rolla! Translation: I likey! Im gonna check the rest of those bands out right now.

And we don't have mentioned other interesting genres. For instance, Metal. In the 80's and 90's there were very good bands, like Barón Rojo (Spain), Obús (idem) and Rata Blanca (Argentina).

Obús, Va a estallar el obús ("The bombshell is going to explode", 1981):

Barón Rojo and their homonymous song from 1981 ("Red Baron", after the famous flying ace):

Rata Blanca, La leyenda del Hada y el Mago ("The Legend of the Fairy and the Wizard"):

Punk rock too. For example, Siniestro Total. Here playing Bailaré sobre tu tumba ("I'll Dance on your Tomb"):

"I'll kill you with my tap dance shoes,
I'll asphyxiate you with my ballet tights,
I'll hang you with my tuxedo,
and you'll die while disc jockey laughs.

And I'll dance on your tomb.
And I'll dance on your tomb.

I'll slit your throat with a sharp record
of The Rolling Stones or The Shadows.
You'll swallow my cassettes
of The Shangri-Las or The Ronettes.

And I'll dance on your tomb.
And I'll dance on your tomb.

I'll stick my guitar on you,
I'll mash you down with my piano,
I'll skin you with my cymbals,
I'll trepan you with my Hammond organ.

And I'll dance on your tomb.
And I'll dance on your tomb.
And I'll dance on your tomb..."

And Electropop. Molecules mentioned Aviador Dro, one the pioneer bands of the genre in Spanish:

. And provocative. 1983: So many people wearing those famous "Nuclear? No, thanks" stickers and pins... ...and these guys singing:

"Nuclear, yes, of course!
Nuclear, yes, sure!

I want to take baths in seas of radium,
with clouds of strontium, cobalt and plutonium.
I want to have lead wrappers,
and mutant kids on motorbikes.
Deserted ruins with beautiful swimming pools,
ethereal women with vampiress voices.
Multiform robots searching in the streets
for the inert remains of the old man."

Nuclear, yes, of course!
Nuclear, yes, sure!

Sunburned hills,
inmense cities inhabited by cyborgs.
Monstrous snakes devouring houses,
and enormous spaceships with weird shapes.
Roaring volcanoes spitting out lava,
and violet forests with orange grass.
Hidden caves in deep beaches,
and valleys covered by winged flowers.

Nuclear, yes, of course!
Nuclear, yes, sure!

Nuclear, yes, of course!
Nuclear, yes, sure! Sure!

Nuclear, yes, of course! "

Even now they still seem to be politically incorrect. Just take a look at some YouTube's comments, of the "sing it in Chernobyl if you have balls" type, etc...

BTW, there was a 30th-anniversary concert

:

Another successful Electropop band is OBK, from the 90's, very influenced by O.M.D. and Depeche Mode. Songs: Historias de amor, Oculta realidad, El cielo no entiende, Lucifer, Tú sigue así.

As I noticed on the first page many Lhasa de Sela fans, I thought I'll tell you the shocking saddening news. On January 1st Lhasa de Sela has passed away in her home town Montreal, after struggling with breast cancer for over a year.

Lhasa de Sela
