There's nothing that reminds you of summer quite like the tunes you find yourself bumping during the year's hottest months. From music you'll play while relaxing on the beach to summer party anthems to the songs you'll have stuck in your head for years to come, your summer playlist should have it all.
Getting tired of the typical summer songs you're hearing on the radio? Looking for a fun way to expand your musical horizons into another culture? Adding some classic Spanish jams to your summer playlist will undoubtedly take your dance parties and car karaoke sessions to the next level.
1. El Taxi - Osmani Garcia ft. Pitbull
This song might be one of my all time favorites. Featuring Mr. Worldwide himself, Pitbull, "El Taxi" is nothing short of an all-around great song to get you hyped for a night out in the summer. There's even a Spanglish version ft. Lil Jon if that's more your style!
2. Bailando - Enrique Iglesias ft. Descemer Bueno, Gente De Zona
Enrique Iglesias, another king of the Spanish music world, sings this timeless Spanish classic that you cannot escape on a night out in Spain. You can't even escape it during the daytime as it seems to be the only song any street musicians know. Regardless, "Bailando" is a great song to add to any summer playlist.
3. Hasta el Amanecer - Nicky Jam
Nicky Jam's "Hasta el Amanecer" features fun lyrics and a laid back, yet still dancable beat. This song's casual playfulness makes it a perfect song for the soundtrack to your summer.
4. Vivir Mi Vida - Marc Anthony
"Vivir Mi Vida" is a classic. No questions asked. We all need more Marc Anthony in our lives. Add this to your playlist. Trust me.
5. La La La - Shakira
You can't talk about Spanish pop hits without paying homage to Shakira. Shakira has so many incredible hits that will add some energy into any summer playlist, but "La La La" is an irrefutable banger.

This emotional track from Nicky Jam and Enrique Iglesias is another inescapable standard of Spanish nightlife. "El Perdón" is always a crowd pleaser and will be a great way to slow down your summer playlist.
7. Bon, Bon - Pitbull
Everything Pitbull has ever dropped has been a perfect summer jam. "Bon, Bon" is no exception.

You really just can't have enough Pitbull on your playlist. "Como Yo Le Doy" is another great party standard from Mr. Worldwide that fits in with any summer playlist.

"Duele el Corazón" is one of Enrique Iglesias' newest releases and proves that he will always be able to produce chart topping summer hits.

This track from Chino y Nacho featuring Daddy Yankee is a great way to add some upbeat sweetness to your summer playlist.
11. La Mordidita - Ricky Martin
Ricky Martin's voice melts my heart faster than the summer sun can melt my ice cream. Get this song on your summer playlist ASAP.
12. Messin' Around - Pitbull with Enrique Iglesias
Two members of the Spanish pop royal court team up on this English track and do not disappoint. Not trying to add another language to your playlist? "Messin' Around" might be a great way to add some Spanish flavor to your summer playlist while still understanding all of the lyrics.
