From Spain to Cuba and from Mexico to Chile you'll find that each Spanish-speaking country has a rich musical heritage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Argentina has its very own brand of music, influenced by the country's history and spiced with its love for tango. Here are our top picks for classic Argentine songs:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>1. El D\u00eda Que Me Quieras \u2013 Carlos Gardel<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RmXCVOmOCPU<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This is one of the most famous songs in the history of tango. The music and lyrics are fantastic but we wouldn\u2019t recommend it for beginners, as it is pretty difficult to make out the words. The fact that the version sung by tango icon Gardel was recorded in the 1930s means that the sound quality isn\u2019t all that great, but the restrained passion and longing in his voice still shine through.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>2. Mariposa Teknicolor \u2013 Fito Paez<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"Fito Paez-Mariposa Tecknicolor\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hB4YS9iui2E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Onto a more modern song now, this is a brilliant song to study more advanced Spanish\u00a0with as the lyrics are fairly complicated and he sings parts of it really quickly. You\u2019ll feel fantastic when you can finally sing \u201c<i>ellas cocinaban el arroz \/ se levantaba sus principios \/de sutil emperador<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>3. Gracias a La Vida \u2013 Mercedes Sosa<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WyOJ-A5iv5I<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This is one of the most inspiring Argentine songs and one of the easiest to learn too. Sosa was a legendary singer songwriter and this is one of her most famous efforts.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>4. Color Esperanza \u2013 Diego Torres<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"Diego Torres - Color Esperanza (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Nb1VOQRs-Vs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Torres has sung some terrific soulful pop songs and this is arguably his best. It is a hopeful, positive song which turns up on the TV a lot.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>5. De M\u00fasica Ligera \u2013 Soda Stereo<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IibXYWSBpZw<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">You can\u2019t beat a bit of fairly heavy rock when you're learning a language, can you? There are some great Argentine rock banks and Soda Stereo is arguably the best of them. The lyrics are short and relatively simple, although you might spend some time trying to work out what \u201c<i>Ella durmi\u00f3 al calor de las masas, y yo despert\u00e9 queriendo so\u00f1arla<\/i>\" really means.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>6. Rosa Rosa \u2013 Sandro<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"SANDRO DE AMERICA - ROSA ROSA\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b1kYzGKN2v8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">While Sandro passed away a couple of years ago, the sensation that he was in the\u00a0'60s and '70s lives on.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>7. Caminito \u2013 Various Artists<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"Gabino Coria: CAMINITO Tango\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t0pRfv0__vk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Another classic tango song here, Caminito has been sung by many artists throughout the decades. While tango might not be your cup of tea, if you're in Buenos Aires trying to learn Spanish\u00a0you might as well give the dancing a go.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>8. La Felicidad \u2013 Palito Ortega<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"Palito Ortega - La Felicidad (Video Original)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ivu9LBIHoh8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We have the image of this singer being a bit like an Argentine Cliff Richard but don\u2019t hold that against him. He is famous for singing lively pop songs and this is a classic from yesteryear. You won\u2019t be able to resist singing along with this one while doing funky 60s dance moves.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>9. La Flor M\u00e1s Bella \u2013 Memphis La Blusera<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><iframe title=\"Memphis La Blusera - La Flor Mas Bella (Video Oficial) [HQ]\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tPyIEDbadLg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Argentines can do blues as well. This is a great song for singing along with and practising the unique Argentine \u201csh\u201d sound on the \u201cll\u201d, as you sing \u201c<i>Ella es la flor m\u00e1s bella \/ vagando por las estrellas \/ brilla m\u00e1s que el sol<\/i>\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>10. La Cumparsita \u2013 Various Artists<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CIu1aGgAOho<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It seems only right that we finish off with another classic tango song, and this one just snuck\u00a0in ahead of <i>Volver <\/i>and <i>Cambalache, <\/i>even if it is technically from Uruguay. If you grew up in the UK a good few years back you might\u00a0immediately picture robots making mashed potatoes when you hear this instantly recognisable tune. While most versions seem to be instrumental there are versions out there containing sad, lonely lyrics. How many people will have danced to this tune in Buenos Aires over the years?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Are you ready to enjoy Argentine classics?
