One of the most enjoyable ways to learn a language is to listen to its music, since you can find new vocabulary and phrases without having to physically study them. Listening to Spanish songs has definitely helped me learn more over the years, and as a plus they are really good!
So, I have picked out 5 songs which I am really loving at the moment, and hopefully you will love them too and can learn something from them.
3 A.M. by Jesse & Joy
I often randomly find myself singing (very badly) "son las tres de la mañana y no has llegado" because it is undeniably a very catchy song, which is about a woman who thinks that her boyfriend is with someone else because it's 3 in the morning and he still hasn't come home. If you like a catchy song about relationships then this one is for you!
Fútbol & Rumba by Anuel AA (feat. Enrique Iglesias)
Recently released, I have been loving this song, especially seeing as it features Enrique Iglesias. It is a very upbeat tune typical of Enrique about "la fiesta" and how we have to "pasarla bien", as well as the main motto of the song: "¡que siga la rumba!". Some of my other favourite Enrique Iglesias songs include Súbeme la Radio, and of course the classic Bailando.
Un Año by Sebastián Yatra & Reik
I first discovered this song in Costa Rica last year, and have loved it ever since. It is a bit more of a slow and less upbeat song compared to 3 A.M. and Fútbol & Rumba, but it is catchy nonetheless. About a man who has spent a year without seeing the woman he loves, this song is definitely a
bit of an emotional rollercoaster.
Reggaetón Lento (Bailemos) by CNCO
You might have heard the English version of this song on the radio as it has recently been remixed by Little Mix, but it did originate from this great Spanish song. As the name suggests, this song is about spending a night bailando to the reggaetón lento, and is one that will stick in your head for a while.
Díganle by Leslie Grace, Becky G. & CNCO
Finally, perhaps my favourite song out of them all is Díganle, which I have actually been using in my lessons to analyse with my students. The song itself contains a lot of examples of the subjunctive and also imperatives, so it is definitely a great one to check out in terms of its grammatical structures. As well as this, it is just a really good song!
I hope that you might find some of these songs useful, and also enjoyable to listen to!
Let me know in the comments if there are any other Spanish songs which you have been enjoying recently.
