Me too! I don't know a whole lot of Spanish bands, but I know four of your favorites, and I really like them. You should check out Perla Batalla. The song Cucurucucu Paloma is my favorite.

thanks for the suggestion . . .will definitely check them out

I have a suggestion that's not strictly Spanish music. It's in English, but it's heavily influenced by Latin sounds. I'm sure lots of you already know about them, but if not, check out Calexico. It fuses all kinds of influences from Mexican and South American folk, rock, jazz. It's really good.

I wanted to bump this because spanish is a huuuge part of my music likings.The bands and songs I like are on that other spanish thread.

Colombian folk music is among the most varied in the region.

This cantautora (singer/composer) is Colombia's most revered singer of traditional music.

Toto La Momposina

and Here's a short English documentary on her.

I don't have a perfect command of English language.

What does "Spanish music" exactly mean?

I mean, Spanish-language music (like this) or music from Spain?

For example, CatPeople, would it be "Spanish music"?

That's what Wikipedia says.

But that "time" refers only to the Middle Ages.
