there's so many varieties, as is consistent with spanish culture, with all the gypsys, muslims, christians, and others mixing at that point. So many influences. If you want something classic, go for the flamenco.

I'm in a guitar class here at the university, and I'm working on the flamenco song "malaguena". You can listen to it here: http://www.inatrance.us/guitar.htm
It is my teacher playing the song here. Gypsy music.

While on the topic of spanish music, I have a question about Crosby Stills Nash and Young in their song "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes."

Towards the end, in the "du du du" part, the main vocal speaks in spanish and says (I think)
"Que linda me triaga Cuba
La reina de la mar Caribe
Cielo sol no tiene sangre alli
y que triste que no puedo va ya."

I asked someone who knows spanish and he said it means this:
"How I love to go to Cuba, :cuba:
the crown of the Carribean.
The sky has no blood,
And how sad it is that I cannot go there."

Does anybody know if this is a reference to anything, or specifically what they mean if this is right?

Interesting. I didn't know that was Spanish, I just thought it was the LSD taking hold of their tongues. :)
Shows what I know.

anyway, this reminds me of a song with Spanish lyrics that I wanted translated. I was just listening to it today, and will be back with what it was if I can remember it.

Um here are some that u might like...not sure tho....
Anything by "Los Guaraguaos" their songs are old leftist songs with really good lyrics about the pain of the people...
Eva Ayllon - Propiedad Privada
Maldita Vecindad - Kumbala
Cafe Tacuba - Esa Noche
Cafe Tacuba - Maria

If you want something classic, go for the flamenco.

Yes, the deep song. Hearing Paco Pena or watching La Yerbabuena inspires duende in even the coldest of hearts..

Sounds like the author have a great longing to be back on the island,but for some reason(hope is not politics <_< ) he can&#39;t.

There is a nice song by Guatemala&#39;s Ricardo Arjona about a cappie in love with a cuban girl Ella y El (http://www.planetadeletras.com/r/7/27.html)

[Mr Mojo Risin]

in the same vein as my other post here i guess, does anybody know if the words at the beginning of Crosby Stills and Nash&#39;s "Marrakesh Express" mean anything? Or am I just looking for understanding in all the wrong places as I suspect.

Look for the group Aventura. They are very popular with Puerto Rican bachata. Or look for Hector y Tito, that only if you like reggaeton. :)

[Borincano]

If you like old Cuban music, download anything from the Buena Vista Social Club. For some Puerto Rican bomba y plena and hip 60&#39;s salsa, look for Ismael Rivera and Cortijo. For Latino Rock, look for Café Tacuba, Circo, Juanes, Shakira, Ozomatli, Maná, and Jaguares. For Latin Jazz, Tito Puente[B] and Alejandro Sanes. For plain and simple Salsa, go for [B]Hector Lavoe, Celia Cruz, La India, Marc Anthony, Eddie Palmieri, and Hilberto Santa Rosa. For Latino Pop, Paulina Rubio, Millie Corretjer, Thalia, and Ricky Martin. For Latino Rap, Orishas, Ivy Queen, and Tego Calderón.

Gipsy Kings

[Danton]

For Latino Rap, Orishas

Every time they&#39;re mentioned I must say how brilliant their album is and how powerful they are live.. Album of the year and their new material is even better...

Anyone interested in what&#39;s happening in Spain right now particularly Barcalona, where there is a broad mix of cultures should check out "Zona Bastarda&#33;" a compilation of some of the most genre bending and experimental music around..
