Talk about a life turnaround! Fidel Nadal, an Afro-Argentine Reggae musician, sings about his happy embrace of life while walking, skipping and dancing through a forest and the famous Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires. And to think he used to fritter away his time, feeling down.

Isa, short for Isabella, seems to be one optimistic and happy girl. This song is an invitation to teens and pre-teens to come dance and enjoy her TV show Isa TKM. BTW: In Spanish, TKM means te quiero mucho (I love you), in texting-style.

Spain’s pop sensation is way more than an enigmatic name. Sure, we’re also wondering why you’d name your band after the removed appendage of a long-gone Dutch painter, but what’s made them famous is their music. "El último vals" is a song inspired by Martin Scorsese’s film The Last Waltz.

Our creative friends from Café Tacuba are offering an affordable alternative to expensive vacations. With a little help from our imagination, we can have an special trip without leaving our living room!

“Lo siento, soy yo” is a classic line for ending a romantic relationship. We’ve said it and we’ve heard it. That doesn’t make it any less painful. In this animated video from San Pascualito Rey, we see hearts pierced by arrows over and over. Appropriately, this song is included in the album titled “Sufro sufro sufro”.

This is Reik, a Mexican pop band growing in popularity all over Latin America. "Fui", from Reik’s third studio album Un día más, is an emotional song with an intimate look at heartbreak.

Here is a ghost story like no other, where the living character seems more scary than her dead counterpart. Who in her right mind would marry a ghost? Well, Gloria Trevi explains it all in the chorus: Ella es una loca, loca, perdida.

You shouldn’t be surprised to find these two Italian guys singing in Spanish! There is a huge tradition of Italian singers rocking the pop charts in Latin America. Eros Ramazzotti, Laura Pausini and Nek are some of those ambassadors of Italian pop in the Spanish speaking world!

This is a song that you don’t want somebody to hear you singing. Trust us! The guys from the Mexican band San Pascualito Rey don’t seem so friendly, but maybe that’s just because they have broken hearts.

In spite of its small size, el ombligo sometimes makes a large impression. Cubiky, a experimental electronica band from Los Angeles, were inspired to write a funky song about it.

The Krayolas have been around for a long time, and their work, talent and dedication shows in “Little Fox.” We warn you: this song will be stuck in your head for several weeks.

People say that you either love or hate Monterrey rock act Panda. But in spite of some criticism, they have shown that their music is set to last, and that they have the passion to make it happen, as we can see in this live performance.

Far from Minnesota, this Spanish rock act is begging the girl to slow down. A safe thing to do, especially if the girl in question is a taxi driver.

At top of the Mexican Rock’s pyramid is Café Tacuba. Since their breakthrough Re (1994), they have reshaped themselves countless times. Rubén Isaac Albarrán Ortega, their lead singer, has a thing for changing his name. He even puts Diddy to shame! Through the years, he has been known as “Juan,” “Pinche Juan,” “Cosme,” “Masiosare,” “Anónimo,” “Nrü,” “Amparo Tonto Medardo In Lak’ech,” “At Medardo ILK,” “G3,” “Gallo Gasss,” “Élfego Buendía,” “Rita Cantalagua,” “Sizu Yantra,” “Ixaya Mazatzin Tleyótl,” “Ixxi Xoo,” and “Cone Cahuitl.” Enough for an identity crisis!

Aleks Syntek (born: Raúl Alejandro Escajadillo Peña) assumed a last name short for sin teclados (literally, without keyboards), a handle given by a friend from whom he had asked to borrow a synthesizer (looks like he bought a few since then!). This Mexican artist is well known for producing and writing songs for others as well as releasing his own records.
