I have been listening to a couple of Latinx artists lately and thought I would create a new thread for anyone else who wanted to share any Latinx or music sung in Spanish. Here is ‘Ella Tiene Fuego’ from the album Regalo De Alma by Celia Cruz that I have been listening to recently:

A Dios Le Pido, La Camisa Negra and Mala Gente are all songs I heard on the radio all the time when I lived in Miami. All of them are by Juanes. They’re basically classics at this point.

this whole list speaks to be me on a deep, approaching saccharine level of nostalgia http://remezcla.com/lists/music/throwback-reggaeton-bangers/
Also a fan of ppl like J Balvin, Ozuna, and Bad Bunny whenever I hear their crossover stuff (aka the things they’ve done with Cardi B), but don’t know them well enough to recommend anything.
Also, in terms of massive hits where the spanish version is better:

Wow, those tracks were great @SloQlap thanks! Speaking of Puerto Rican rappers, I grew up when reggaeton was the new hot thing in music. I remember going to visit family in Puerto Rico and there were so many people playing reggaeton in their cars, on boomboxes, etc. Here is the track ‘Dile’ by Don Omar that played on the Spanish radio station often.

Speaking of synth-pop, I remember hearing Don by Miranda! on the radio as well.
And I just saw this video of Fania All-Stars performing Ponte Duro in Zaire, Africa. The dance moves are so cool!
