^ 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:
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...
