Hispanic Themed Music Playlist

[alfred russel]

Calling the Gipsy Kings hispanic is a huge stretch.

I'm taking a very expansive view of the term. Gipsy kings are surely more Hispanic than willie Nelson? 

[Eddie Teach]

Guillermo Nelson is one of the greats.

[Admiral Yi]

And Willie Nelson is more Hispanic than Kris Kristoferson. 

[Eddie Teach]

Mamas, don't let your ninos grow up to be vaqueros

[Ed Anger]

Cultural Appropriation!

I just found Hotel California by Gipsy Kings. I thought someone here recommended it, but it seems not...for some reason I searched for it, and man that song is way better than the original.

I'm also going to add in "I took a pill in Ibiza". Omitting that would be a huge miss.

Girl from Ipamena
Mambo Number Five
Rico Suave

Already mentioned by Yi, but I have to second:

Macarena
La Vida Loca

[I assume you're going for deliberately kitsch / campy songs, not actually for artistic merit]

[alfred russel]

I was going for good songs that people will want to listen to, but are acceptable to a general audience.

Well scratch Rico Suave and Macarena from my suggestions then.

The others are dated but quite catchy songs.

[Admiral Yi]

Macarena is schlock but chicks like to dance to it.

[Monoriu]

Amigos Para Siempre

[katmai]

Ay dios mio.

[Pedrito]
