25 Spanish Songs That Are Better Than "Despacito"

Our music is NOT Justin Bieber's auto-tuned "Spanglish."

25 Spanish Songs That Are Better Than "Despacito"

The "Despacito" remix with Justin Bieber of the Latin hit originally by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee is everywhere. At any given moment, you can change one radio station to the next and there is a huge chance that you'll hear "DES-PAA-CITO" to follow. Don't get me wrong, the song is super duper catchy, and I definitely jam to that beat when it's on. However, the lyrics are extremely sexist and cringe-worthy. As a Hispanic person, I would like to show the world that there is simply so much more to Spanish music than raunchy reggaeton tunes. From Flamenco, to Bachata, to Merengue, to Salsa, to Copla, to Spanish rap, to Latin dance anthems, there's something for everyone. Here is my playlist of Spanish songs (in different genres and styles) that I think brilliantly represent music in the Spanish language.


1. "Adelantando" - Jarabe de Palo


2. "Alguien" - Julieta Venegas


3. "Bailando Por Ahi" - Juan Magán

4. "Caminando Por La Vida" - Melendi

5. "Cómo Te Atreves" - Morat

6. "Copenhague" - Ventusta Morla

7. "The Ketchup Song (Asereje)" -Las Ketchup

8. "La Camisa Negra" - Juanes

9. "La Gozadera" - Gente De Zona (feat. Marc Anthony)

10. "La Vida Es Un Carnaval" - Celia Cruz

11. "Marta, Sebas, Guille, y Los Demás" - Amaral

12. "Muchas Flores" - Rosario

13. "Niña Bonita" - Chino y Nacho

14. "Ni Una Sola Palabra" - Paulina Rubio

15. "Oye Como Va" - Tito Puente

16. "Palabras" - Nach

17. "Pan y Mantequilla" - Efecto Pasillo

18. "Ran Kan Kan" - Mambo Big Band

19. "Sarandonga" - Lolita

20. "Sirenas" - Taburete

21. "Sofia" - Alvaro Soler

22. "Te Extraño (Bachata Version)" - Xtreme

23. "Te Quiero Mas" - Fórmula Abierta

24. "Volando Voy" - Camaron De La Isla

25. "Zapatillas" - El Canto Del Loco

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
