May 2020 Record Challenge Thread (PRIZE RAFFLE AT THE END!)

[LeSamourai]

go for it, I’m not above text that I’ve copied and pasted from a random lyrics site being corrected...

Oh, those lyrics are how they appear in the original lyrics sheet. I just have to smile on this song and "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" at the creative use of what Strummer called "Clash Spannish," which seems to have a grammar, vocabulary, and syntax all its own.

Day 5: Cinco de Mayo. Play an album by a Spanish speaking artist.

So I get to do this again (looking at you @Joe Mac!) as I was a bit premature yesterday (story of my life ...)

Definitely Spanish on this ...sing it all together ..indie night club classic

Day 5 - Spanish Speaking artist Part 2


Stevie Wonder speaks very very um fluent Spanish
Todo 'stá bien chévere' you understand that ? chévere

 

[RowBearToe]

Try to play something that hasn't been played for that day.

This was my pick for tomorrows

That's a great one for tomorrow too, sorry! Although, in the first post he said try to play something that hasn't been played for that day, so I think you could still go that route.

Cinco De Mayo
Well this got here just in time I don’t have much Spanish music otherwise I would have had to post my $ dollar scratched to hell copy of Fat Joe. I dismissed this at first when it was one of the albums of the month, but I started listening to it and it’s really grown on me since. Really fun and catchy.

Not to be that guy but isn’t this Portuguese as opposed to Spanish? I got a good amount of Brazilian music but a fairly limited when it comes to Spanish. Regardless, this album is great, funk AF.

I’m just going to lawyerball this one and Say it was just to play a Spanish speaking artist ,

The google says Portuguese is not the same as Spanish, but most Portuguese will understand Spanish, So I’m gonna go on a limb and say he picked up enough Spanish in his travels to count as a Spanish speaking artist .

At the very least I can say he probably speaks more Spanish then almost all of the artists in my collection.

Well, I don't know if the Portuguese understand the Spanish (I'm talking about the nationals, from Europe) but, I'm from Argentina, my wife is Brazilian and when we go see my relatives in Buenos Aires, she has absolutely NO idea what we are talking about!
Africa Brasil is absolute fire, though.

Spinetta "Tester de Violencia"

Someone more knowledgeable of Argentinian rock will be able to say more about Spinetta and his influence on many rock bands from the era, but for now I'll spin this album from 1988.

Scooped!

 

[Nee Lewman]

I’m a little embarrassed that it took me so long to come up with this record, furthermore, as I’ve been diving into this whole genre (Latin psychedelic funk) and have quite a few records that fit the category as a result... smh. Not only that, but THESE GUYS just released ONE OF MY FAVORITE RECORDS OF THE YEAR!!! I guess it shows that I dig this music and don’t think of it as ethnic or odd or not something I just dearly love.

Cinco de Mayo:
Chicano Batman

 

[Nee Lewman]

I'm gonna be honest with ya, when I picked this theme I had quite a few in mind to play then last night I did bare minimum research and realized they were actually all Brazilian so today's theme suddenly became alot harder

I spent a minute looking through my collection going there’s that, nope it’s Brazilian.... nope Brazil... nope Brazil.... I have a lot of Records in Portuguese.

Day 5: Cinco de Mayo. Play an album by a Spanish speaking artist

Maybe a bit cheaty... I have a bunch of records in other languages, but nothing in Spanish. I will probably need to fix that at some point.

Khruangbin - Hasta El Cielo

Day 5: Cinco de Mayo. Play an album by a Spanish speaking artist

Paco de Lucia - Fuente y Caudal

Beautiful, beautiful flamenco.

 

[Ponman2003]

Day 5 - Guacamole

Jose Gonzalez - Veneer



I thought for sure I would end up playing some Cuban music today, but it wasn’t in the cards. A decidedly chill Cinco de Mayo with Jose Gonzalez on the deck.

 

[blissfullychaotic]

Day 5 ~ Tacos and Tequila, celebrating Cinco de mayo

Zeta ~ Mochima




Today I learned there is over 40 languages spoken in Venezuela, with Spanish being the most prominent. If you like post-hardocre mathrock definitely give them a listen

Day 5 - Cinco De Mayo
Buena Vista Social Club

 

[manonkouch]

Day 5 - You know I don't speak Spanish

Santana's Greatest Hits

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

Day 5: Cinco de Mayo

Not an album, but I don’t have any other options... (afaik)

Big Pun - Still Not a Player (7”)



Some bits of Spanish found in both songs on this 45 (“Still Not a Player” ft. Joe & “Twinz” ft. Fat Joe)

Day 5: Cinco de Mayo. Play an album by a Spanish speaking artist.

At first I was going to play a Linda Ronstadt but I don’t have the album where she drops the Spanish. Then seeing Doolittle posted I was going to drop Surfer Rosa but thennnn my wife suggested this one

 

[wmeugene]

Day 5: Ry Cooder & Manuel Galbán - Mambo Sinuendo

One of the few records I have that are appropriate for this category, I love Cuban music (and food and culture, etc.), so I'm surprised this is all I have. But it works and its been a while since I last listened to this.

That’s in Portuguese, but great album nonetheless!

Here, I got you covered because I spun two albums that may qualify:



Most songs are in English but the band is 100% Spanish. I had a great time watching them live on a cruise last summer in what seems like a different universe from where we live today.

And this is my alternative pick for today:
