June 14, 20241 yr I'm talkin' Spain, Mexico, Tejas, Central America, Caribbean, South America. We'll include Portuguese and maybe the southern half of Italy. A'ight. I sang this the other day in a Mexican restaurant in Gardendale Alabama and the waiter from Chiapas kicked in on the chorus:
June 14, 20241 yr Man, I know a drunk version of that. Mi Paloma es la ley. No tengo trono ni reina, ni nadie que me lo mama....
June 14, 20241 yr For any Central America homies. Saw them live in El Salvador at the Olympic Stadium (which is funny considering they barely have an Olympic team.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaIOOzU01cs&rco=1
June 14, 20241 yr Dont know why the link did not come up. Alux Nahual. Alto al Fuego. Professor at ILAS's husband used to jam with them.
June 14, 20241 yr I had a sort of reunion recently where my first serious high school girlfriend, who I hadn't seen in 30 years, requested this one and then sat down in front of me and just locked eyes with me. It was a moment, or it was meant to be a moment. And then about one verse in our non-spanish speaking friend sitting next us just talked and talked all the way through it. I kept it cool. But inside...we were laughing. Edited June 14, 20241 yr by Chad Fuck
June 14, 20241 yr We saw this guy at an Austin FC function and didn't know anything about him. Ended up seeing him again at the Austin Rodeo.

June 14, 20241 yr and used so effectively here especially given the translation The Spanish lyrics use the image of a migrating swallow to evoke sentiments of longing for the homeland. It became the signature song of the exiled Mexicans
June 17, 20241 yr This entire album is excellent, but the percussion on this is stellar. Her voice is butta and her band is ridiculiously good.
June 17, 20241 yr When she showed up in Honduras with Miami Sound Machine my brother says who, what? I convince him to take me. Hell of a show. Going into a different style. Group was overlooked. Go to 1:26 for the music. But if you watched things like El Show del Medio Dia, this is what you got. Ole W Vargas gave me a shout out. El primer gringo merenguero. And their dancing is the shit Bacon could have learned from them. (I kid, but that was the style)
June 17, 20241 yr In newer music, taking the state by storm from the Valley is Grupo Frontero. Anyone that follows Spanish language music will know them by now, but our tickets to see them at AT&T Center in August were >$200 for upper level seats.

A neighbor brought her tiny daughter around, who was most interested in the plops of dried birdshit underneath. "Son sus popos" the child said. I had been echando popos all my life but that was the day I learned the word.
June 17, 20241 yr This was mandatory every damn night when I was in the clubs in Argentina. Maybe multiple times.
June 17, 20241 yr Can’t edit above but new west is lit when that comes on. Shoutout to Santa Catarina. Damn I miss living there Edited June 17, 20241 yr by Zepol87
June 18, 20241 yr I only speak English, but probably 25% of my liked songs on Spotify are non-english. Not surprising that Spotify's automated "DJ" played this as "something I think you'll like". He was right. No idea what it's about, and don't really want to know.

June 18, 20241 yr say what you say about Juanga…fucking LEGEND let the beat drop gawd damn what a performance Edited June 18, 20241 yr by texas08
June 18, 20241 yr Thinking more about this thread and my favorite Spanish music might just be a random Norteno band getting out of a van somewhere in Texas right now about to play a quince in front of 300 people with a shit ton of chile rojo and Modelo.
June 18, 20241 yr Say less. Although you’d need about $25-30k to get these cats to play at a quince. Real norteño (from Chihuahua) is legit. Edited June 18, 20241 yr by texas08
June 18, 20241 yr I’m an open book when it comes to music. I’m gonna throw all sorts of Spanish stuff on here.
