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

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
