I <3 Music in Spanish. And the Spanish language in general.

Firstly, made a lovely new Pandora Station: Buena Vista Social Club.   Just type in the name of the band for many such smooth latin tunes.  It's great ambient music.  Almost as good as Garry's "In a Sentimental Mood" station with all the coffee-bar jazz.

Also, I know I posted on my old xanga about this song, but thought it merited repeating.  One of my favorite songs by favorite band, Ozomatli, called "Cuando Canto."  It's just so sweet and earnest and hopeful.

In Spanish:

Cuando canto mi cancion inspirar mi gente con una solucion
Cuando desperto en la manana se que tengo el poder para un dia triumfar

Cuando me acuesto en la noche puedo mirar estrellas que me dan esperanza
Cuando sueno en la madrugada ojala que mi trabajo no es temporal

Cuando demuestro mi corazon con mis aciones puedes entender que no soy hombre perfecto, no soy
Pero trato mucho, trato decidir lo mas major para el mundo y lo pongo, lo pongo en una cancion

Cuando canto mi cancion

In English:

When I sing my song I want to inspire my people with a solution
When I wake up in the morning I know that I have the power for any triumph

When I go to bed at night I can see the stars that give me hope
When I dream in the early morning I hope that my work is not temporary

When I show my heart through my actions you can understand that I am not a perfect man, I'm not
But I try to make the best decisions for the world and I put it in a song

When I sing my song
