Spanish pop/rock music - 09/02/05 03:40 AM

A long time ago I remember telling Shawn (a MM board memember) about popular songs here in Spain in he chat room. He liked most of them.

I think it could be a good idea to suggest songs either here or through the chat room (that what we did) so member who like Spanish music can get updated with the music we usually hear nowadays in the radio.

People could get those songs through their favourite P2P program and, if they like the band / song, they may want to buy the CD.

Sabina, Bunbury, Los Secretos (survivors from "la movida"), Los Rodriguez (Extincts), La Cabra Mecánica, Rosendo,... oh, I'm afraid I'm not young enough.

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 09/05/05 08:54 AM

I'm led to believe that Juanes (a Columbian singer) is very popular both here in Spain and in other Euro countries. I must admit I've never heard his music though. A song title that youngsters rave about is La camisa negra - again, I've not heard it so cannot comment.

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 09/05/05 12:54 PM

You're right, Filbert, he's not Spanish but he's very popular here in Spain.

Here are the lyrics of La camisa negra

Quote:

Tengo la camisa negra
hoy mi amor esta de luto

Hoy tengo en el alma una pena
y es por culpa de tu embrujo

Hoy sé que tú ya no me quieres
y eso es lo que más me hiere
que tengo la camisa negra
y una pena que me duele

mal parece que solo me quedé
y fue pura todita tu mentira
que maldita mala suerte la mía
que aquel día te encontré
por beber del veneno malevo de tu amor
yo quedé moribundo y lleno de dolor
respiré de ese humo amargo de tu adiós
y desde que tú te fuiste yo solo tengo…

tengo la camisa negra
porque negra tengo el alma
yo por ti perdí la calma
y casi pierdo hasta mi cama

cama cama caman baby
te digo con disimulo
que tengo la camisa negra
y debajo tengo el difunto
tengo la camisa negra
ya tu amor no me interesa
lo que ayer me supo a gloria
hoy me sabe a pura
miércoles por la tarde y tú que no llegas
ni siquiera muestras señas
y yo con la camisa negra
y tus maletas en la puerta

ALGO MÁS

A veces pienso que te miento
cuando te digo que te quiero
porque esto ya no es querer.

A veces creo que he muerto
cuando no estas y yo despierto
porque sé que esto ya no es querer.

Es algo más algo que me llena
algo que no mata ni envenena
es algo mas, algo mas que amar.

Es algo más que la distancia
que el dolor y la nostalgia
sabemos que eso no nos va a separar.

Es darte un beso cada noche
que tus manos me enamoren
y que lo nuestro crezca cada día más
porque somos algo más.

A veces creo que he vivido
más de mil años contigo
porque sé que esto ya no es querer.

A veces pienso que es mentira
por como entraste en mi vida
porque sé que esto ya no es querer.

Es algo más algo que me llena
algo que no mata ni envenena
es algo mas, algo mas que amar.

Es algo más que la distancia
que el dolor y la nostalgia
sabemos que eso no nos va a separar.

Es darte un beso cada noche
que tus manos me enamoren
y que lo nuestro crezca cada día más
porque somos algo mas.

Y yo sé que no es querer
porque en tus ojos yo me puedo perder
contigo olvido lo que es temer
¿acaso no sabes que tu eres para mi?
la noche, el día en mi vivir
la sangre en mis venas
lo doy todo por ti
contigo el mundo no tiene final
y el tiempo no se nos va acabar.

Es algo más que la distancia
que el dolor y la nostalgia
sabemos que eso no nos va a separar.

Es darte un beso cada noche
que tus manos me enamoren
y que lo nuestro crezca cada día más.

Porque somos algo más...

Does anyone here know Amaral ?. They are very popular in Spain. Eva Amaral, the singer, has an amazing voice. Most of their songs have been played on radio.

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 09/08/05 04:02 AM

Hello Antonio!

I remember that chat from a few years ago, I believe we were listening to Los Cuarenta Principales. If I recall correctly Alejandro Sanz's Cuando nadie me ve was one of the songs that we chatted about. That chat helped begin my own passion for Spanish music, a love that has ownly grown stronger with time, thank you Antonio.

The CD player in my car has capacity for six discs, four of the six are from Spain: Estopa, Jarabe de Palo, Alejandro Sanz, and El Ultimo de la Fila. I still try to listen to Spanish radio through the internet, but lately I haven't had a lot of time to do so. Hopefully, I'll be able to find a bit more time in the day.

Cheers from Los Angeles! smile

PS. As for Amaral, her hit song from 2002, Toda la Noche en la Calle, brings to mind many late nights during my year in Spain.

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 09/08/05 07:05 AM

Hi Shawn. I'm glad to see you around again smile . For those of you who don't know him, Shawn loves Spain nearly as much as he loves his own country.

He likes the language, literature, art, music... whatever it is related to Spain.

Shawn, Toda la noche en la calle is part of Estrella de mar. It's a great album.

Now try El universo sobre mí and Días de verano from their latest album Pájaros en la cabeza.
Posted by: Antonio

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 09/10/05 02:31 PM

Shawn, do you know Melendi?. If you like Estopa then I guess you'll like Melendi also. He has a similar style. But don't think about understanding the lyrics. Slang, pronunciation and references to everyday life in Spain would make it very difficult.

Try Melendi's album Sin noticias de Holanda.

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 09/11/05 06:25 PM

Great idea smile

I may suggest El Canto del Loco:
  • Puede ser (with Amaia Montero from La Oreja de Van Gogh
  • Zapatillas
  • Preguntas
  • A contracorriente
  • Besos
  • Crash

and Revolver (Carlos Goñi) (any song).
I've heard that the spanish music market is one of the biggest ones. There are virtually dozens of groups and singers, some of them really good. Listen them, you won't regret it smile

Hi Fernando,

Good suggestion. I was also going to post a message about them.

Let me add the following songs by El Canto del Loco:

  • Son sueños
  • La madre de José
  • Ya nada volverá a ser como antes
  • Insoportable
  • Una foto en blanco y negro

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 09/12/05 09:27 AM

I see too much 40 ppales and mainstream music in this thread, and there are many others group that i´d rather listen, but are not supported by radios.
Carlos Chaouen, Quique González, Los Piratas, Fito & Fitipaldis, Platero y tú, Los Limones, Paco Bello, Marea, Mago de Oz, Antonio Vega, Family, Sexy Sadie, Jet Lag...
Check this names, i hope you´ll like 'em

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 09/15/05 11:16 PM

Great recommendations!

I already had A Contracorriente by El Canto del Loco, and have loved it. However, I wasn't very familiar with Melendi before your recommendations. As a result, I have been listening to small samples through the internet and have liked them so much that I bought Sin Noticias de Holanda. The song titled Con La Luna Llena is particularly good, I can't wait for the CD to arrive.

Antonio & Fernando,

When I was last in Spain Café Quijano was quite popular, are they still performing?

Cheers

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 09/16/05 10:01 AM

Hi Shawn! Good to hear from you smile

Yes, they are still there, though their last CD is from 2003. They will probably publish another one anytime soon. You may check (and listen all their songs!!!!) their website at www.cafequijano.com .

Antonio: I forgot those songs, and I like them soooo much! Thanks for remembering.

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 10/23/05 03:49 AM

Great to hear that you like Chambao, I am a big fan. Which album did you buy? I have their albums:
Flamenco Chill
Endorfinas en la mente and
Pokito a Poco
Another of my favourite bands is El Barrio.

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 10/23/05 08:45 AM

Flamenco Chill, I think I've listened to that before! In all probability I think I own it!

As usual, before going to Madrid I had a mental list of CDs I was going to buy and didn't buy a single disk for lack of available time. I'd hoped to buy the last few CDs by Niña Pastori. She sings what's popularly termed "New Flamenco" pop songs. Beautiful voice. I also like Andi y Lucas for flamenco pop.

Hi Johnny I live in Dallas also. There are two Spanish stations here I listen to quite a bit.

I like Juanes a lot;
I'm not sure if these people are from Spain, but they're good Spanish singers:

Carlos Vives (he sings ``Escuchame")
Alex Ubago (I LOVE "Tu Dame Aire")
Julieta Venegas

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 10/24/05 12:36 PM

I have to add my HUGE support for El Canto del Loco. I can't get enough of their music! I went to their concert this summer when they played a sold-out Estadio Vicente Calderón. It was awesome! They shared the concert with Hombre G, another great Spanish pop group who have been around awhile, but are still putting new stuff out.
Some other suggestions: Pereza and Los Despistaos
Posted by: Antonio

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 10/24/05 04:54 PM

fiffy2u, the song you are talking about

Quote:

Artist: Queco (real name: Manuel Ruiz)
Song: Tengo

Tengo, una cosita que su peso en oro vale
Unas ganitas de contarte a lo que sabe
La buena suerte de sentir que estoy queriendo
Tengo, abierta al mundo una ventana de ilusiones
Con la esperanza de llenar los corazones.
De todo aquel que por amor vive sufriendo.

Tengo, un cuarto pequeño con espacio y universo.
Por donde vuela un corazón aventurero.
Buscando la primera luz del alba.

Tengo, tu cuerpo rotando por la memoria.
Es como un virus, que a veces me sabe a gloria.
Y otras veces viene borrándome el alma.

Tengo, que enamorarte como la primera vez.
Hasta poner la luna bajo tus pies.
Para que entiendas que nunca he dejao de quererte.

Tengo, todo lo bueno y lo malo que da el amor.
A veces pienso que estaría solo mejor.
Pero ya ves que no puedo vivir sin tenerte.

Y si llueve, abre tu paraguas.
Tú sabes que siempre te llevaste el gato al agua.
Y si bailas bajo un sol ardiente,
Ten cuidado, las quemaduras, con la luna más se sienten.


Tengo, flores que nacen por amor de pensamiento.
Y otras hierbas que rodean mis sentimientos. Mostrándome los sueños sin palabras.

Tengo, sólo esta vida pa vivirla como quiera.
Y aunque me cueste conseguirla, a mi manera
Me duele despertar sin tu mirada.

Tengo, que enamorarte como la primera vez
Hasta poner la luna bajo tus pies,
para que entiendas que nunca he dejao de quererte

Tengo, todo lo bueno y lo malo...
Y si llueve abre tu paraguas...

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 10/24/05 05:19 PM

robbieroy, as for Chambao, don't forget their hit Ahí estás tú, featured in a tourist campaign about Andalucía.

I found this reference where you can listen to it:
Pokito a poko
Endorfinas en la mente

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 10/25/05 03:26 AM

To all who were talking about AMARAL, I also have great memories of that whole CD ESTRELLA DE MAR in the year 2002. Also, some other fenomenal artists that I have loved are: CIRCODELIA great pop/melodic band consisting of 4 guys. 2 years ago, I fell in love with Ismael Serrano (singer songwriter) and the CD TONY AGUILAR in friends...songs that i hear on Cuarenta Principales. Can't wait to get back to discover more!!!!

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 10/27/05 07:45 AM

Hi Antonio - it was nice to meet you at the MM gathering on 15th Oct. Thanks for these links. I have all three of the Chambao albums at home and taped versions in the car.
It is interesting that you mention the advert for Andalucia. Two summers ago when I was in the south of Spain I heard this music on the TV (Canal Sur) and thought "I really like that".
Then when I was leaving to go home to Scotland, I went into the Music shop at Malaga airport and, would you believe it, this exact same music was playing. I asked the assistant who it was and then bought the album Endorfinas en la Mente.

Something similar happened with Andy and Lucas. I was watching "Ratones Coloraos" on Canal Sur and Jesus Quintero was interviewing Andy y Lucas. They picked up guitars and started to play. I instantly liked them and decided I must buy their album. On the Friday before I left, I went into the music shop in Fuengirola, but they were sold out of the CD. Luckily, when I went to the airpost I managed to get a copy there. I have since bought their second album Desde mi Barrio.

Now - here is a question for you Antonio. It is obvious that I like the fusion of Flamenco and Rock/Pop. Given that I alredy have albums by El Barrio, Andy y Lucas, Chambao and Falete, Can you suggest any other similar music I might like?

Antonio, I think you're after my heart smile

When I lived in Spain, Amaral and Melendi were both part of the reason I fell in love with Spanish music. My boyfriend was an Asturiano puro and gave me a copy of "Sin noticias de Holanda" to listen to (but only after warning me that even HE had problems sometimes understanding what Melendi was saying). I also really like Sueno de Morfeo and Jarabe de Palo.

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 11/12/05 06:01 PM

robbieroy and mse924, I'm thinking that perhaps you may like El Arrebato. He just published a greatest hits album (called "Grandes éxitos").
Posted by: eltorero

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 11/28/05 06:07 PM

ESTOPA is my favorite. They just released a new CD: "Voces de Ultrarumba"

Before that, my favorite was their last album "¿La Calle Es Tuya?" and then "Destrangis". Their first, "Estopa" was okay.

My favorite songs are Vino Tinto (Destrangis) Fin De Semana (La Calle Es Tuya) and Corazón Aerodinámico (La Calle Es Tuya)

see/hear Estopa at www.estopa.com

I also really like Juanes, especially the song Fíjate Bien.

Also check out Bacilos. I like the song "Mi Primer Millon" and "Buena".

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 02/17/06 03:41 PM

Nobody's posted since me, but I'd like to update. I still love estopa, and I got their latest CD, Voces de Ultrarumba. It's very good, especially "Fabricas de Suenos". I also like El Canto del Loco and melendi is okay. Joaquin Sabina is pretty cool.

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 05/28/06 08:49 AM

This morning whilst listening to San Pedro de Alcantara Internet Radio, I heard a great song. I only caught a few words and after some internet searching, found out that it was called "Pirata de Boquito", performed by El Barrio.
After more searching, I found a link to a site where I could hear the song performed by A group called Algiva. I really liked it and thought that I might share the link:
http://www.forumisforum.com/VerMensaje.asp?MEId=850625
This sounds like it is a live version of the song.

Further searching led me to the official web site of Algiva:
http://www.algiva.com/
where you can hear a studio version of the same song.
On entering the site (in Spanish), you can listen to other songs na view a video clip.
There are also details of the concerts they will be playing. Now, I will be near Malaga in July, when they have two concerts.... maybe...!!

I would be interested in what you think of this song and the group Algiva. Although the group are Catalans, the song is estilo flamenco.

I got Voces de Ultrarumba by Estopa too back in January. Looooovvveeee Fabricas de Sueños and Gulere Gulere. You can see all of their music videos at:

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 10/02/07 02:50 AM

Nah. No one likes Spanish music here. wink hehehe... JUST KIDDING! SURE! Let's talk!

Since this thread ended in July 2006, Melendi , while already popular, has REALLY become explosively popular. His "Me Gusta el Fútbol" took him to the next level in popularity with another part of society, I'm sure, but I don't like this song too much.

Lately, I'm diggin' Zaragozan band Amaral , featuring lead singer Eva Amaral . Antonio, you mentioned her on Page 1 of this thread.

Someone also mentioned La 5a Estacion . Good music from them! And I didn't realize they were a Mexican group!

When I go to the gym I always listen to Los 40 Principales so I'm rather UP on the Top 40 music in Spain. It's amazing to me (although I shouldn't me so amazed) that about HALF of the songs in the Top40 are in English.

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 10/03/07 02:57 AM

after reading all the post on here, most of the singers/artist are all people whom seem to be specialists in spain, and the rest of the world has not, or i have not heard of a lot of these musicians, where do people like Enrique Iglesias stand in Spanish music folklore, who are massive around the world,do there music top the charts?
Posted by: pedmar

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 10/03/07 03:54 PM

actually they are more popular outside of Spain, ie Enrique Iglesias, I know i found out about him in florida USA.
This is true of many others who are known outside their country of birth. Antonio Machin was a great bolero singer, even has a street in Sevilla name after him, really known in Spain; he was from Cuba not too many heard of him there;unless pass thru Spain.
the list goes on....

I have the collection from AMARAL, and also Merche Trujillo.
Posted by: Antonio

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 10/03/07 06:31 PM

billy the man, I wish Enrique Iglesias wouldn't stand anywhere in Spanish music :yuck:

It's a shame many popular Spanish bands are not known abroad.

MadridMan talked about Los 40 principales , probably the most well-known / popular Spanish music radio. Unfortunately, their list is not related to the number of records sold or the popularity of a band. It just have to do with the money companies pay to have their singers / bands on the list.

I'm going to suggest a Spanish band that some of you may like: Kiko y Shara . Although it's mostly regarded as a "teenagers band", I really love some of their songs. You can listen to their latest album for free on the website and even watch a few videos (Multimedia section). Check out Puede ser (the most popular one), Adolescentes or Mi primera vez

MadridMan, La 5ª Estación is a Spanish band. However, they were not popular here in Spain until they became famous in Mexico. That's why they have an official website there.
Posted by: la historiadora

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 10/03/07 11:42 PM

Unfortunately here we don't have a lot of music from Spain. Most of the Spanish language channels play regional Mexican music (which isn't to my taste, as much as I try to appreciate it) or reggaeton. Reggaeton is fine in small doses but after awhile it's not very interesting. The stations used to play more Spanish language pop and rock and even salsa and merengue, but with the popularity of reggaeton in the past few years, those types of music have fallen by the wayside.

That said, my favorite artists from Spain include Jarabe de Palo, Ojos de Brujo, Rosario Flores, Alejandro Sanz, Niña Pastori, and Estrella Morente. My absolute favorite group from Spain is Ketama (I'm still sad they broke up frown ) and Antonio Carmona's solo album is pretty good. And, although they are super cheesy and just teenagers, my new "guilty pleasure" is Kimi-K . Some of them are related to the members of Ketama and other famous Spanish musicians. Click on the audio player on their web site to hear the entire album or see one video here on You Tube .

Lastly, thanks to MM board member El Rey for introducing me to Miguel Bose . I have downloaded a few of his songs and really enjoy them! thumbsup

Re: Spanish pop/rock music - 10/04/07 12:18 PM

My favourite spanish band is Fito y los Fitipaldis but my favourite song is "Entre dos aguas" of Paco De Lucía, one of the greatest spanish guitarists and whose niece is the singer Malú.

I recommend two rock bands called The Sunday Drivers and We Are Balboa that sing in english and I think nobody has mentioned Pastora and Ariel Rot.

Where is David Bisbal from??
He was being heavily publicised in Spain this time last year, so I assumed he was Spanish.
A friend of mine bought his CD in Argentina, thinking he was from there.

Saw a young singer opening for Crowded House in Barcelona the other day. His name was Ramon (sic). I don't know if he's well known, he went down very well with the (mainly British) Audience. Slightly folky sound, complimented CH.

Last time I was there Bebe was hugely popular with her first album - poppy but good with a serious edge to some of the lyrics. We heard it being played in a bar in Burgos and liked it so much we went out and bought it.

I really like Ojos de Brujo. They are pretty popular outside Spain as well, I first saw them on the Jools Holland show on the BBC. And I took a double bass class led by Danny Thompson a couple of years ago so I have to give a vote to Ketama too!

Here I post some videos of Spanish groups from Youtube which I like very much.
They are a bit dated songs, but I think they are classics of Spanish pop/rock.

Song: La noche, Band: Presuntos Implicados

Song: La chica de ayer, Band: Nacha Pop, year: 1982

Song: Pero a tu lado, Band: Los Secretos

Song: Hijo de la Luna, Band: Mecano

Song: Frío sin tí, Band: Navajita Plateá


This song could be a good tune for Madridman's web page:

Song: Pongamos que hablo de Madrid, Author: Joaquín Sabina

This song is even much older, 1974, but it touches my heart whenever I listen to it, perhaps because like in the song, I was born by the Mediterranean.

Song: Mediterraneo, Author: Joan Manuel Serrat

I was surfing the internet and I found this interesting band from Córdoba called "Los Aslandticos".
In my opion it's a colorful fusion of flamenco, pop, rap, reege, salsa and african sounds. It reminds me of the french band "Manu Chao" and a bit of "Chambao" too.
Their song "Dime que lo deje" is really catchy, at least it catched me.

Hello everyone,
I'm new here, but I love to listen to Spanish music. El Canto del Loco is by far my favorite band, but I'd also like to add my two-cents for El Sueño de Morfeo, David Bisbal, La Quinta Estación, La Oreja de Van Gogh, y Jaula de Grillos. All of these have been talked about except Jaula de Grillos, and I only found out about them from ABC.es. There was a video talking about their first cd coming out (their from Madrid), watched it, and liked it. I also like Hombres G, but I don't actually own any of their cds (yet!).
