Popcast #16 - Canto en espanol, Si sinor!

Quite often people will sing in english even if it's not their mother language, I know there's a number of reasons for why they do it, but I think it's great when they don't. I really like coming across songs i like in a different language, even when i get all the words wrong when trying to sing along.

For our latest popcast we put together some really lovely songs, all sang in Spanish.

The tracklist is:

Hello Seahorse! - Cassette
Nosotrash - Pez Globo
Entre Rios - Salven las sirenas
Mirafiori - El Efecto Bola De Nieve
Nagasaqui - A los q tienen el dinero
Pleasant Dreams - El ultimo Verano Que Pasamos Juntos
Kikí d'Akí - Hoy te vi
Apenino - Recordar
Zipper - Hoy estoy muy pop
Las escarlatinas - Sueno merengue
Juniper Moon - El Resto De Mi Vida
Linda Guilala - Nada que contar

La buena vida - Como en cualquier lugar
