So this is one of the pop-bubblegum bands that was formed by winning a Latin American singing competitions called 'La Banda' (created by Simon Cowell and produced by Ricky Martin).
What can I say? It's a catchy song.
2) Maluma - Sin Contrato
Yeah, another Maluma song. It's just that...
3) Shakira - Chantaje (Official video) ft. Maluma
Shakira + Maluma = MUY Caliente.
Side Note: I feel as though Shakira is meant to be enjoyed in Spanish. Then again, I'm a bit biased.
Monday can always use more spice, so why not make things a little more caliente with a new weekly Latin American music feature?!?!
Here are some of my favourite Latin tunes at the moment.
1) Luis Fonsi feat. Daddy Yankee - Despacito ~ This song is everywhere and everything right now.
2) Shakira - Me Enamoré ~ An adorable song she wrote about her baby daddy, Gerard Piqué (professional footballer who plays for FC Barcelona and Spain's national team).
3) Romeo Santos - Propuesta Indecente ~ In Chile, when something is labeled as being 'cheesy' we call it 'cebolla' (pronounced: seh-bo-ya), which literally translates to 'onion'. This song is just the right amount of cebolla.
Oh how I looooove Spanish music!!! If you love it as much as I do, like it, or are just plain curious about it, please feel free to check out the songs of the week. Explore, enjoy, and above all, SHAKE THAT BOOTY!!!!
Shakira & Alejandro Sanz ~ La Tortura. - A song about temptation and lusting after someone. (FYI: I've always believed that Shakira is meant to be heard in Spanish. Her tunes are so amazing. In English, she's kinda cheezy).
Julieta Venegas ~ Me Voy. - A song that says farewell to a relationship, whether it was your fault or not. Great tune!!!
Gloria Estefan ~ Mi Tierra. - Another artist who I find sooooo much more amazing to listen to in Spanish. Am I biased? Yes. Absolutely. This song talks about Gloria missing her homeland of Cuba. It's actually a really emotional and beautiful song... that you wanna salsa to ;D
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs ~ Strawberry Fields Forever. - Yup, it's a cover of the über famous Beetles tune. Before you click play, make sure you keep in mind that 1) this is a ska version of the song 2) it's half in Spanish 3) it's completely not what you expect. You're going to either love this or hate it. Me? I'm personally a HUGE fan!
Joe Vasconcellos ~ Las Seis - A fellow Chileno!!! Seriously, I go nuts when I hear his music. It's so Chilean. It's hard to explain it, but it makes me incredibly happy :). Note how the audience reacts. This should explain why I'm usually jumping around and dancing at most concerts... usually by myself. Fail.
My brother showed me these videos. This is from a Chilean show called 'Mi Nombre Es' (translation: My name is). Basically, people who believe they sound like famous singers show their talent.
This dude claims to sound like Eddie Vedder. It will BLOW YOUR MIND!!! The video of this guy singing is compared along side to the actual video of Senor Vedder himself. AMAZING!!!
What makes this even MORE amazing is that this guy doesn't speak a word of English! Believe it!!!
Check out Chris Cornell's reaction to this dude!
This one totally weirded me out. This guy calls himself 'Shakiro'. He sounds EXACTLY like... yup! Shakira!!! Do me a favour and close your eyes when you watch the video the first time.
So 'Shakiro' had a chance to meet the actual Shakira. Check it out!
