With Amargo Adios, Inspector mixes up border sounds and border iconography in this paean to unrequited love.

Hailing from Monterrey, Inspector has got to be one of the most inspired ska bands south of the Rio Grande! This tune features guest artists Rubén Albarrán (a.k.a. “Rita Cantalagua”) of Café Tacuba and Roco of Maldita Vecindad.

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.

Isabel teaches us some of the intricacies of the masculine and feminine genders of Spanish nouns.

The English representation of the sound that a rooster makes is "cock-a-doodle-doo," but what is it in Spanish? Learn this and more as Jacky sings us the "Farmer's Song."

Jacky sings a popular spring song. Let's learn Spanish by singing!

Let's have some fun singing and learning about the different parts of the body with Jacky!

Our friend Jacky will sing for us the Spanish versions of two world-famous children's songs: "Frère Jacques" and "The Itsy Bitsy Spider."

Today, Jacky sings for us "Mantita" [Blankie], a lullaby inspired by the blanket that many babies and children need to fall asleep.

What do you do after a breakup? Jarabe de Palo asks this question and wonders... shall we do it all over again?

Listen to the acclaimed Spanish rock band Jarabe de Palo's single, "Hoy No Soy Yo," from their album, Somos. The song is slow paced, and the singer enunciated his words very clearly. Let us know if you like it!

The narrator of the 1998 single, “Agua,” from Spanish rock band, Jarabe de Palo’s second album, Depende, wants far more than his friend from their seemingly ambiguous relationship.

Javier Garcia was born in Madrid to a Cuban father and spent his earliest years in Spain before heading to boarding school in Ireland (from whence his mother comes), finishing high school in Miami after the age of 16. So what kind of Spanish accent does he have? Well, by his own admission, something of a Cuban one when he sings, a kind of a Spanish one when he talks… (we called him and asked!)

We’ve all heard of the bolero, which has its modern roots in nineteenth century Santiago de Cuba (even though we might not be able to hum one on cue). But what about the cuartetazo? Born in Córdoba, Argentina, and derived from Spanish and Italian dances, the name is derived from the fact that the earliest players were invariably four-piece bands. The rhythm is similar to merengue.

¿Quién es Javier García? With his producer (and two-time Academy Award winner) Gustavo Santaolalla, Javier Garcia talks about his roots and influences. Also, we learn about some noted musicians who contributed to the album 13, including the great trumpet player, Arturo Sandoval.
