When I lived in Spain a few years ago, I learnt a thing or two. I learned that Spain is NOT Mexico, as a lot of North Americans are wont to believe, assume, expect. I learned that Mexico is the way it is because of Spain -- The good, the bad, the ugly. I love Mexico, and I truly love Spain. One of the people in Spain that influenced me exponentially was a very beautiful person from San Fernando. I fell in love with her and stupidly messed it up... as I'm very good at doing. So anyway, she had great taste in everything, but I'm not so sure about her music, now that I look back. She had me HOOKED on Spanish pop. I don't know much else about music from the Iberian Peninsula, but whenever I hear Spanish pop, I wax sentimentally and am lost in nostalgia. Here are some of the groups (with the help of last.fm) that I still hear when I think of downtown Cadiz, Jerez, and the beaches of Costa de la Luz & Costa del Sol:

Vandaag gezocht op flamenco-muziek op de Last FM-radio. Via Paco de Lucía uitgekomen bij schitterende 'similar artists': Vicente Amigo, Tomatito en de flamenco-chill sound van Chambao met hun album 'Pokito a poko'. Super!!!! Tomatito Pokito a Poko Pokito A Poko Vicente AmigoPa La Pimpi

...Lo único que sabía de ella éra que había colaborado con grandes de la música flamenca como Vicente Amigo o del jazz como Bebo Valdés. ¡El concierto fue sublime! Todas las canciones tenían un ritmo muy pegadizo, fusionando flamenco con raíces étnicas, e invitando a que todos lo siguieramos con palmas y movimientos de hombro.

Por supuesto eso no sería nada si no estuviera la voz sugerente y melódica de La Negra, que convirtió la noche en una velada mágica.
