Spanish Music

[Notorious]

Who likes spanish music? or Who has ever heard spanish music?

I HAVE heard it and I like it. Selena is like, the best in the world. Though, she didn't speak a word of spanish, either. I wonder what it was like for her to go to Mexico to do interviews and everything, cuz she was pretty popular. I'm sure she knew the simple stuff. I love her song 'Bidi Bidi Bom Bom'. Her american songs are good as well.

I like her and Shakira's spanish stuff...and I like some other stuff too

[Crimson and Clover]

i love the song La Bamba. Ritchie Valens' version is the best!:)

[Kay Scarpetta]

I like Selena, Shakira, Elvis Crespo (yes, I'll admit it), Jaci Velasquez, uh, Jennifer Lopez, and some others I'm forgetting...

But Selena will always be my favorite... Siempre Selena.. *sniff*

Actually, Selena did know SOME spanish. She spoke Tex-Mex, as do alot of hispanics in Texas.

As for going down to Mexico, her father was more nervous then she was. He was afraid that the media would lambast her since she her Spanish was not perfect. However, Selena did what she always did. She made the people fall in love with her. She went up to every reporter, shook their hands and asked them questions like how are they doing that day and thanking them for coming. Selena was loved by all, she was down to earth and not stuck up like some musicians are.

By the way, "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" is my favorite too.

Yo encanta Selena!!!!

Como la flor....Como la flor...do do do

[consentida]

I loooove Spanish music. I like Selena, Shakira, Thalia, Paulina Rubio....and the list goes on. Selena is the best tho. Spanish music means a lot to me. It taught me about who I was and where I came from and that I have to appreciate that. And btw, Selena did speak fluent Spanish. She was taught phonetically by her father when she was about 9 yrs. old. Her Spanish wasnt great. She spoke it a little funny. I imagine she spoke in dialect. She didnt speak perfect Spanish which is why the press in Mexico hounded her. But she pulled through....Okay I'm rambling now so I'm gonna shut up......adios:wave:

I like Spanish music, especially Rock en Español, such as Mana, Enanitos Verdes, or Aterciopelados.

I was just wondering, if someone had posted this topic 5 years ago, I wonder how many responses it would have gotten. Spanish music and artists have come a long way.

I also consider Selena as a pioneer in that she paved the way, so to speak, for crossover artists to merge into the main stream American market. She was just beginning to be a mega star. It’s too bad her story ended the way it did.

Oh, BTW, I love Jaci Velasquez' music as well.

You do? Really? I haven't really talked to anyone who has liked her music before. I mean I know it's mostly all Christian, and I don't really listen to Christian that much nowadays, but I just love her songs. Especially the ones on Mi Corazon and Llegar la Ti

Yes, I do. A teacher of a friend of mine lent him the "Mi Corazon" CD. He liked it so much that he bought all of her CDs, except the "Christmas" one. So then, I started listening to them and I found out that she has a beautiful voice which is complemented by great music. Her voice moves me. :)

Spanish music,many times, is better than American music.

[Pitooey]

Yes I do love Spanish Music. I like Elvis Crespo also (Even though my hubby tells me he sounds the same in every song). I'm a huge fan of Marc Anthony and I loved Hector Lavoe.

In the movie "Selena," Jennifer Lopez plays the character of The Queen of Tex-Mex Pop, Selena Quintanilla.

I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but did Selena ever have a big hit, because I don't think I ever heard one of her songs.

all of her hits were big hits but this is spanish music we are talking about. If you don't listen to that kind the first Selena song you heard was I Could Fall In Love and or Dreaming of You.

The only selena songs i've really heard are "como la flor" and some other one that goes like OHHHH OHHHHH BABY because we had to sing them for cinco de mayo things years ago.

Yeah. She was one of the most respected Latin artists and still is.She and her band really hit it big in 1992 when they first released Como La Flor and La Carcacha and the rest is history. She won a lot of Tejano Music Awards. She won a Grammy. Even in death she's still selling big time. Even if it's a greatest hits album, it sells like you can't imagine, especially for someone who isnt even here anymore. Selena was extremely popular and this goes back to my point in the other thread: a lot of people don't know the facts so, I give them to ya.
