Great Finds Along The Way

Part of our preferred approach to Spanish immersion is watching music videos on Youtube. Along the way we started with the Mexican band Mana who we first hear in the 1990's in Puerta Vallarta. We also heard Ana Gabriel about the same time. Mana is a rock group that leans toward love songs while Ana Gabriel is a traditional Mexican singer - cantanta. As we settled in here in Cuenca we let Youtube go it's way and it introduced us to many new Latino groups. Among them, some of our favorites are Natalia Lafourcade - a singer/songwriter from Veracruz Mexico, Diane Fuentes who is a singer from Cuba, Manuela Mejias is a Colombian singer, Carlos Vives is a singer from Colombia as well, and our latest find is Luz Pinos a singer from right here in Cuenca. The list is long of others that we like including Monsieur Perine from Colombia, Zu and Nuria are a Spanish pair, and we found a non-latin singer named Taimane from Oahu Hawaii. The last link is an Argentine group Los Pinguos. We are adding some links below. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Peace and love and more soonish...
