I love the song 'El Rey.' And for years, I never knew what the song was totally about. It was something new for me. I'd never sung a song in Spanish before. Then I got the translation and saw what a really cool song it was.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love the dancing and the music from Latin cultures. I went to a Flamenco show in Spain once, and it completely took my breath away!
The power of music in Spanish is so strong, that I couldn't stay away from it any longer.
When I was in Mexico and started to dream in Spanish, I knew that was a good sign that I was learning the language. It was cool.
I was going to Miami quite a lot at the time, speaking a lot of Spanish with my friends from Cuba - Lana Del Rey reminded us of the glamour of the seaside. It sounded gorgeous coming off the tip of the tongue.
Mexican music runs through my veins. I loved it. Growing up, my father didn't allow us to listen to English music at home. That's all I heard. I had no choice.
I loved the Brazilian music I played. But this is finally me. For the first time I think it's really me.
'Santa Monica' was a big song, and I always knew it would be radio friendly. But it's not a defining song for me, though for a lot of people it is.
'Don Quijote' by Cervantes. I read the original Spanish version when I was in high school. Such a classic!
I came into the music world in 1988 with a song called 'Ooh La La,' that was like a breath of fresh air in Haitian music.
I've always loved Spanish. I love my father's Spanish records.
