So, for my last post I decided to post some of my favorite songs for you all to listen. I think that a big part of this class has been to simply learn how to appreciate different genres for their individuals sounds. Whether that be Cuban timbales or the Peruvian cajón, just try listening to something new! You might not know what you're listening to, but you know what you like. And with time, the instruments, vocals, and beats will speak to you. I hope you enjoy some of these and continue exploring Latin music!
Luis Fonsi- No me doy por vencido (this video is also REALLY good)

These are just a few that I thought might be worth checking out. I hope you enjoy them!
Aleks Syntek was pretty cool. That was an overwhelming amount of metaphor and very pretty guitar work.
ReplyDeleteI really like this post! I'm glad that you posted from a variety of genres. I listen to the group Aventura a lot, but I have never heard of this song. I like that this song explores the Salsa genre, instead of the Bachata genre which is what that group is known for.
ReplyDeleteAleks Syntek is a great artist. He has a great singing voice and reminds of of a spanish "Coldplay." And Jianna how can you have never heard of that song?
