Latin love songs
 

Nobody does love drama like the latin do love drama! And since I'm practically married to a latin guy, I've been exposed to quite a lot of this stuff. I'll be putting some of my favorites here.

Spanish drama:
Camilo Sesto


Jose Luis Perales


Mexican drama:
Juan Gabriel (huge gay icon)

(last 5 minutes are basically a mariachi freakout)

Italians singers are on the place for me.

^^ Both great songs, but I would say the second one does not fall under the thread theme, since he is singing about his love of being Italian. ;)

Speaking of Italian love songs, here's a beaut:

Riccardo Cocciante:


Italians have a thing for rough vocals I guess.

You're right.

Richard not Riccardo :love:
If you know Eels - That Look You Give That Guy



Edit : This one does not fall under the thread theme too. At least, it's a love song.
Sorry

Oh I think it qualifies, I mean it's a love song and technically the French and Italian are latin too (although I have to confess I was only thinking of Spanish language songs).

Thanks, it's quite lovely. :)

Something contemporary (although it's a cover of an older song):

Rosalía 'Me quedo contigo' :



:love::love::love:

The vocal range, pronunciation, words terminaisons and others details are way different. It's why french is not exactely on the same category. It's a latin language spoks by a mix of celts, germans and romans peolples.

Good lord...are you still here?

How are you lad?

Thievery Corporation - Décollage


Madredeus | a andorinha da primavera

Oh, I know this one, classic Spanish lesbian love song, I was told it caused quite a furor when it came out.

Both very nice songs, but again, don't think they fit here (aside from being in a Latin language), the first one seems to be about getting high, the second is mostly about a bird and flying.

One of my favourite Italian song.

I love this one..

Very popular French love songs (at least in France ;) )

I thought it was an allegory about being in love, my bad. The lyrics seemed to be in the same vein as How High the Moon, or Fly Me To The Moon -- especially the latter.

There is more going on in the song than just bird watching. She wishes the bird could take her to heaven where she can say goodbye to her love.
