One of the first singers I got to know since I took Spanish classes was Columbian rocker Juanes. He was the favourite singer of my first Peruvian teacher and just recently, my new Spanish teacher got us to fill up the lyrics of one of Juanes' songs. He quite a hit, apparently, in most of the Spanish-speaking world, with numerous Latin-American Grammy awards to his CV.

Here are two songs which I particularly like, both from his album Un Dia Normal (A Normal Day).

Fotografia (photograph), a duet with Portugese singer Nelly Furtado


A Dios Le Pido (I Ask of God), the song that made him an international sensation.


Just something for a nice Sunday morning, before the dreaded Monday sneaks in...
