I do like Shakira and tho' they are mostly singing in English here is 'Hips Don't Lie':
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUT5rEU6pqM and as my musical taste is very varied here is classical Rodrigo - wonderful music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPcjtg6FvX8 I've heard Rodrigo's Guitar concerto live - an afternoon to remember |

Not so much Spanish music but I'm currently loving some jazz music influenced by Spain
I'm a bit vague as to the history of it because I'm still new to jazz, but around 1960 some of the big jazz stars appears to have 'discovered' Spain......presumably at the time it appeared as an exotic country similar to when opera composers discovered it a century earlier Here's a track from Miles Davis - Flamenco Sketches https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez-Kefu4vvU and one from John Coltrane - Olé https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z5cRYd1Vr4 I can play these all day on a loop..........

Love this track.......'Smooth' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Whgn_iE5uc and a bit more of a Latin sound...... Oye como Va https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoIqXz2AIFs |

I like the original version of Mas Que Nada by Jorge Ben Jor:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCM_VWzSiMo Here's Sergio Mendes & Brasil '65 featuring Wanda De Sah with So Nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD-UCbmjTs4 |

One of my faces that had a lot of play in Spain is this one: http://youtu.be/PWS7mNb0ZpA
It's by Georgina, and the song translates as superwoman. |

Here are two spirited gypsy flamenco guitarists - rough and ready and how I remember flamenco in Granada. Unfortunately a lot of the tourists are more interested in the view.

I like this, well.. I like anything by Halie Loren
Perhaps.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Yvclzc4u6g Live performance of "Sway." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JRWqcbfDL8 This isn't Latin, but she can make a Bob Marley song sound so sexy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL9RrCyET3Q |

Spanish/Latin music is a genre I've always been interested in checking out more of as what I've heard of it I've liked. it's great music for the summer. I'd love to have done Spanish at school as it seems like a fun language to learn, but my school only offered French and German. Some day I'll take it up 🇪🇸

I'm an admirer of Latin music despite having no idea what they're talking about, but it's fun checking out the English lyrics afterwards. Some of my favourites are Alejandro Sanz, Shakira and Nicky Jam.
