There are lots. Bose is simply annoying me because they keep playing it on the TV and radio.
Never heard of them. Probably from Spain. They got funny names anyway
Limewire them!
I do not believe that you have not heard of Camarón!
Mostly you would be correct in that summation, but that would stem from the fact most other countries speak English as a second language, therefore it's not a huge step to listen to our music. It is however a larger step for people to get enjoyment from music where they can't understand the lyrics being sung.
Depends on what music you wanna hear, there are so much styles that you can get crazy. I can get lost on how many styles of music we got on here.
Reggaeton, Romantic balads, pop, salsa, merengue, bachata, etc...
More people speak Spanish as a language on a regular basis now than English. Crazy but true. If you can speak the two, you can basically go anywhere. It's not German, and especially not French which for some weird reason punches well above its weight and gets away with it.
As for understanding lyrics, that should not matter, in fact it is a very bad reflection upon musical education in the country where I was born. Do you need to understand An die Freude to enjoy Beethoven's 9th? I hope not!
For me personally? No, but lyrical content for most people is an important issue in enjoying music. For example, if you're listening to a heartfelt ballad being sung, how can you fully understand the sentiments behind the song without understabding the lyrics? It could be about anything.
Most of my experiences with foriegn music is in the Trance, Techo and Ambient sides of the dance world so lyrics aren't important in that regard for me so isn't an issue.
Most modern ballads are full of sentimental nonsensical crap and have been for a long time.
We'll take some good examples of very successful ones (I quote from Internet sources):
What the feck is that? It makes no sense!
Try again:
Daft again! In fact worse!
Is that even a ballad?
feck, it's simple, it's alright, but number one for 14 weeks or whatever it was says a little.

A lot of my experience is with symphonies, so it's the same. I can from this however click well structured music to badly constructed sequences of sounds that they like to call music.
never heard of that guy
i asked my wife and she said she thinks he acted in an almodovar movie
his music is atrocious
if you want to hear something good from argentina, check this:

You have long untidy hair don't you?
no, i have short tidy hair, and trimmed pubes, you homo
btw, here goes another example of argentinian music, this group played before the rolling stones at the river plate stadium
here goes another fine example
He's a "Latin" Grammy award winner, and annoying.
And, yes, he probably did appear in that other gay boy's movies.
that's what i'm talking about when i say that -in music- spain is not "our culture"
our musicians inspire in english music
strange that a country that in the past did nothing for music, during the second half of 20s century gave the world 90 percent of the best musicians
We could have a discussion about that on both points.
Matador is a classic song from the 90's...
I liked Vilma Palma e Vampiros. They were class
"Bye Bye" is a song to chill.

i'd love to
what's your opinion on the matter? do you think england did something for music before the 1950?
Quite a lot actually, but that would need a new thread.
As for the producing the best musicians after that.... that depends on what type of music you are referring to and what you define as musicians.
Hey Weaste here is a monster of a singer from Mexico, one of the best singer on America and i think Marcos will agree with me. His name Luis Miguel.
Contigo en La distancia. Holy shite mate just listen that song.
This is romanticism

Here's another cnut that is always on the radio and TV that you cannot get rid of, but this is classic nonsense pop to get your missus dancing and hurt your ears.
Does my head in!
Does my head in!
well, i obviously mean popular music
i'm talking about the beatles, the rolling stones, pink floyd, genesis, led zeppelin, yes, jethro tull
you are taking the worst examples of spanish music, is like if i talk about Posh and her idiotic female group -can't remember the name of it-
i like some sabina songs, his lyrics are excellent, the same about los rodriguez -although their leader is an argentinian-

I like him.
I gave some examples of certain Spanish music in text that is quality if you like that type of thing.
Spice girls? I wasn't giving a good example of Spanish music, although your rejection of Bose is strange because you seem to like either Anglo Saxon tribute bands or a lot of out of tune trumpets.
David Bisbal was a cnut that came second in a TV show to take part in the European Song Contest about 6 years ago. The girl that won it had an amazing voice, fat bird, bombed in the Eurovision and has never been seen since, where two of the talentless ones go on and have careers in music. Very strange to say the least!
Talking about class Latin music: Ramazzotti, love that bloke!
i don't reject bose, i just don't know him, never heard of him, maybe he's big in europe, but here in argentina -as far as i know- is unknown
about bisbal, IMO he does the kind of music 15 year old girls and unhappy married women wants to hear
eros ramazzotti? oh dear ... he's the latin version of air supply
Zucchero tambien!
Baila Morena!
Baila Morena!
He he he! We now know where you are coming from.
i heard the name, don't think i ever heard his music
An interesting point is that although it's pop, I think that is of a higher quality than the stuff coming out of the British Isles at this moment in time. Which is seriously worrying. British music at this moment in time is total crap, I've never known it so low.
you are right there, and i was thinking about it the other day, and i think is that i don't like the kind of music that's now on fashion -don't know if i explained myself-
what i'm trying to say is that i love rock, i love soul, i love punk and i like modern jazz. but i hate the new rhythms -rap, tecno, etc.-
listen to this song:
if you don't like it, i'm pretty sure your wife will

Well, I like it, because I like all music* and even the missus has Lágrimas Negras de Bebo y Cigala.
* Music should never ever be something to get snobby about IMO unless it does not conform to the basic rules of music, which most modern stuff does not. I do not mind pop, I have CDs in my collection that go from Bach to Metalica - it's highly diverse and covers basically all genres, but it's basically all quality, outside of taste. All types of music have their purpose, some to relax and enjoy for its complex beauty, others to dance around like a nutter when pissed, others to shake your head around to if you had long untidy hair (I guess that would be fun), others to practice air guitar with, etc.
It interests me however how the popular production values of Hispanic Music has come along. It's basically there with the Anglo Saxon stuff no matter what the music is.
I was lucky enough to be in my late teens when the late 80s early 90s Manchester thing happened. Absolutely brilliant, and many of the bands you saw live never made it to record deals, and some of the were better than some that did get record deals. Load of crap.
Anyway (listen to at least one and a half minutes in).....
