Our Favorite Songs
Anita Tijoux – Shock: I use this for my Spanish III class. It is a political protest song. I use it in conjunction with a history lesson. It is
rapped very quickly and is difficult for beginners to understand.
Calle 13 - Latinoamérica, Pa'l Norte: I use this for my Spanish III class when we do our Immigration unit. It is excellent, but it took us
two weeks instead of one to finish. It has difficult vocabulary and is very long.
Camila – Todo Cambió: great use of preterit and subjunctive
Camila – Mientes: preterit and present tenses
Carlos Baute – Colgando En Tus Manos: present participles

of, upbeat song, subjunctive mood, uses of ser/estar

Shakira – Waka Waka: cultural relevance, soccer, I use this when we learn sports and hobbies.
Sie7e – Tengo Tu Love: This is the first song I do with Spanish I. They love it. I talk about Sie7e’s dialect (he’s from Puerto Rico).
There are a lot of pop culture references (iPhone, Mariah Carey, etc.) and the song’s lyrics and meaning are easy to understand.
