The first video (Postales) would be "tango chill-out" or something like that. :) Note that sounds a bandoneón. But yes, that genre exists too:

I only know Mecano.
This one was a bit hit in France in 1990.

And they released Mujer contra mujer in French: Une Femme Avec une Femme, a song about lesbian love.

But I think the most known band in France is Ska-P. They even make some anti-establishment & anticlerical jokes in French when playing there :):

I posted music by this Chilean band a while back, but want to post again...think Latino-influenced Cocteau Twins with a male singer (in fact, their band name came from the name Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie gave to their daughter).







This all comes from their album Sesion Futura, which, in my opinion, is the way these songs are meant to be heard. Live just works so much better for them.

From Chile too: Los Tres and Kudai (pop).

Coming back to the 80's, I think the following can be representative of the high level achieved in that decade (the so-called "Golden Age" of Spanish-language rock and pop by many music critics):



Jimmy Page and Robert Plant? No. :) Just three guys from Madrid (band Leño) in 1983. Song says: "Madrid is a sh**, where not even the rats can live".

In 1984, Gabinete Caligari, a band from Madrid too, published this song (there is no official video, but I think the beautiful Gisele Bundchen is an excellent choice to accompany the beautiful music :)):



Soda Stereo, from Argentina, made this song in 1988, with influences from gothic rock and The Cure. En la ciudad de la furia ("In the City of Fury", or, in other words, Buenos Aires :)):

Very good, indeed. But, in my opinion, the best Mexican pop-rock band is Caifanes (1987-1995). I like Molotov too.




From Colombia, apart from the well-known singers Shakira and Juanes, my favourite band is Aterciopelados (literally "the Velvety Ones"):
