Spanish Music Recommendations
Who are your favourite Spanish-speaking artists?
I quite like Rosalía, especially her newer music. I have heard people say she is guilty of cultural appropriation, but I'm unclear on the whole story there, and my Spanish is not good enough to understand all her lyrics (i.e. if the reactionary lyrics are obvious but I'm missing their meaning).
Ana Tijoux is good, too. Revolutionary-adjacent music, so far as I can work out. She is French-Chilean. Her parents had to flee Pinochet.
Any revolutionary artists I should try? Hip hop or rap especially. Immortal Technique is great but there's generally too much English in his songs to use them to improve my Spanish.

Nice! Thanks!
I love music from Mägo de Oz, "Hoy toca ser feliz" & "Fiesta pagina" are awesome songs
Nice! Reminds me a bit of Dom la Nena/Birds on a Wire with the instruments.
I'm very happy with older music. Often, I prefer it. Thanks for the recommendations!
Edit: ¡que bella la canción 'te recuerda Amanda'!
There's a band called Ska-P (they play, as the name suggests, ska) that makes leftist music. I don't really know if they're actual leftists or just Western Leftists^TM^, as I haven't listened much of their music, but they're the only ones I could really think of 😅
