The Spanish-speaking pop music train is here. With Shakira straddling the line between the English-speaking and Spanish-speaking world for some time, an exciting new group of Spanish pop singers are here. One of my favorite being Julieta Venegas.
I saw my first concert in Guadalajara, Mexico last night. After hearing Julieta Venegas's semi-new album, Limon y Sal, a few months ago I was amazed and enthusiastic about this new sound emerging from Spanish-speaking world (Mexico, particularly). My Spanish is rough, to say the least, but that was in no way a hinderance to enoying the original sounds of Julieta. She's an amazing performer with amazing musical talent. I guess anyone who can jam with an accordian is pretty darn good in my book.
Her sound is worth checking out and I doubt you'll be disappointed with her music, even if you don't speak Spanish!
The Mexican music revolution is here, I suppose. I'm just glad I'm here to enjoy it. |
