Spanish language music anyone?

^ I've just listened to the first couple of tracks, Neapolitan,and yes, she has a sweet voice and the guitar playing is very delicate, soothing. I'll probably listen to some more later on today, but in the meantime, here's an old piece of soft rock:-

This song is a grumble about Spain under Franco, but focuses mainly on the everyday details of a schoolkid's life. So the words are unusual, and the music gets interesting at about 3:30 mins in.

Spoiler for Lyrics, in Spanish:

I like Enrique Iglesias.

^ Well, I haven't listened to much of his material, but I did notice that it's better than his Dad's!

I don't plan to translate it all, but this is how the Asfalto song starts:-

Quote:

School Days:
Well wrapped up
We arrived at school,
1960 just a short time ago.
We stand in line in front of a cross
And certain portraits.
Between yawn and yawn,
Gloriously heavy hymns.

As lyrics, they sound pretty good to me and descibe my own schooldays with surprising accuracy. If Trollheart does us the honour of visiting this thread, I bet the description would resonate with him too.

Most of this is instrumental, but there are some vocals, so I gues it counts.

It's Marc freaking Ribot, so it's a given that it's awesome.

Spoiler for Lyrics, in Spanish: Bien abrigado llegaba al colegio 1960 hace poco tiempo, formados frente a una cruz y ciertos retratos entre bostezo y bostezo gloriosos himnos pesados. Despertamos en pupitres de dos en dos aún recuerdo el estrecho bigote de Don Ramón y la estufa de carbón frente al profesor la dichosa estufa que no calienta ni a Dios. Suena el timbre, al fin...! bocadillo, recreo, evasión una tortura más antes del juego la leche en polvo y el queso americano. Sales tú, y el gordo después te cambio los cromos te juego al tacón sales tu, la ligo yo apuremos el tiempo que ya nos meten dentro. Dos horas de catecismo y en mayo la comunión la letra con sangre entra, otro capón! tarea para mañana, y puesto el abrigo otra copla a los del cuadro y hasta mañana Don Ramón. y ahora tu qué pensarás? si cuanto más me oprimían más amé la libertad y es a ti a quien canto hoy enseña a tu hijo enseña a tu hijo a amar la libertad... __________________ "Am I enjoying this moment?
