"Residente", is the first solo album by Residente, aka René Pérez Joglar, a Puerto Rican singer/songwriter/producer who has been scooping up awards for years as frontman of his band, Calle 13. His self-titled album seems to be hot off the presses; Amazon has the release date as 31st March 2017.
Am I really that cutting edge for once? Anyway, here are two excellent tracks:- ...... Spoiler for Guerra lyrics:

Oh snaps, I need to get that. I love Calle 13. Their sister won a Grammy for her solo album this year.

Move your 37 year old blond haired, blue eyed, sorry ass from Northeast Boston to San Diego 20 years ago and try not to get addicted to the hypnotic, rhythmic grooves of Hispanic music. Not gonna happen.
I love "Sweet Home Alabama", but come on now. Carlos was tripping his ass off during this entire performance. Teenaged Michael Shrieve :clap::clap::clap::clap: |
Most of this is instrumental, but there are some vocals, so I gues it counts.
It's Marc freaking Ribot, so it's a given that it's awesome. |

That Marc Ribot sounds really great, grindy; lots of cool guitar :thumb: Looks like MR is following in Ry Cooder's footsteps; another guitarist seduced by the sounds of Cuba. I was 20 mins into the Marc Ribot album before I heard a word of Spanish, which is perfect by me; but let's see if you (and Chula with his instrumental offering) get into trouble when Zaqarbal comes back! |
Somehing more vocal-centric, again featuring Ribot.

► Leño: La nana (The Lullaby, 1979) and Castigo (Punishment, 1979). |
I'm probably stupid and this isn't even Spanish. |

Non-lexical vocables in this tune, but, still, a good album: |
As always, some interesting music from Frownland and rostasi, but I think this guitar work out is my favourite of the recent posts:-

This song is pretty old I guess, maybe someone knows modern cover?

Galicia, a gorgeous part of northern Spain (and one of the best places in the world to go if you really like seafood), is a bit different from the majority of Spain in terms of them having their own language and being heavily influenced by celts. It really is the only part of Spain where I have seen them include bagpipes as a part of traditional folk music.
Anyways, here is a bit of Galician celtic-influenced music : |

Natalia Lafourcade Álbum: Musas
released on May 5, 2017 I love the sound of Natalia's voice and the sound of a nylon guitar, a perfect match. :love: http://lafourcadefanclub.com/sitio/w...os-portada.jpg |
^ I've just listened to the first couple of tracks, Neapolitan,and yes, she has a sweet voice and the guitar playing is very delicate, soothing. I'll probably listen to some more later on today, but in the meantime, here's an old piece of soft rock:-
This song is a grumble about Spain under Franco, but focuses mainly on the everyday details of a schoolkid's life. So the words are unusual, and the music gets interesting at about 3:30 mins in. Spoiler for Lyrics, in Spanish:

I like Enrique Iglesias.
|
^ Well, I haven't listened to much of his material, but I did notice that it's better than his Dad's!
I don't plan to translate it all, but this is how the Asfalto song starts:- Quote:

My favorite Austin, TX based band playing live...
Grupo Fantasma - Cayuco (Live @ KUTX Studios) |
