I've discovered a lot of new music this year thanks to last.fm. When I say new, it's new to me, not necessarily released this year. One of my best discoveries has been Chayanne who has become a real favourite, especially his uptempo songs like LOLA, Torero, Santa Sofía and Caprichosa. His ballads are also lovely and it will be one of my missions for next year to try and find some of his albums.
I've also been able to listen to more of David Bisbal. I only have one of his albums at home, but have been able to listen to the songs from all of his albums on here. Again, I shall try and find them next year.
A couple of months ago now I read Cristiano Ronaldo's book Moments in which he mentions that his older sister is a singer under the stage name Ronalda. I decided to look her up and found that she does indeed have a page on last.fm. She has become another favourite of mine. Her albums may be a little more difficult to find but I shall try and get hold of at least one of them next year.
Honourable mentions should also go to several other artists whose songs I have been listening to for the first time this year: Diego Torres, Dolcenera, Luca Dirisio, Nâdiya (her duets with Enrique are amazing!), Carlos Vives and Die Toten Hosen.
There are probably more that I can't think of right now, but I can always write about those in another post. Quite simply, this is the beauty of this website that I can find and enjoy music by artists from all over the world who are not known in the UK. After that comes the tricky part of getting hold of the CDs. That will keep me occupied until next Christmas!
