The cultural and national diversity which makes up the Spanish
and Latin American community has always ensured a wonderful
richness and rhythmic variety in Hispanic music. El flamenco, el tango, los boleros, el
merengue, las rancheras and many more have long been
representations of a strong Hispanic musical identity on an
international level, albeit a minor one, and often only
publicised via Hollywood movies. When Hispanic singers such as
Jennifer López, Shakira and Ricky Martin arrived on the
international music scene a few years ago, their success was
largely due to them singing in English. Although some Spanish
songs were occasionally thrown in too.
However, today Hispanic singers have triumphed in the US and
people sing in Spanish the world over. There is a Latin invasion
throughout the music industry and Caribbean rhythms like Salsa
and Reggaeton, and hits like Macarena and Aserejé are heard
everywhere. American radio stations and TV networks are
broadcasting more and more in Spanish and an increasing amount
of Hispanic music is being played between broadcasts.
These days you may just as easily be dancing to a Spanish hit in
a New York club as in a disco in Stockholm. |

Make sure you set aside enough time each day to
study Spanish, and choose your study time so that you are
unlikely to be disturbed. Arrange your study space to maximise
concentration, and before you begin to study collect the things
you are likely to need; a good Spanish-English dictionary, a
notebook and pen. Note down vocabulary and expressions that
interest you and carry your notebook with you whenever you can.
Use every spare 5 or 10 minutes to revise and memorise new words
and expressions. Make sure you study regularly. Half an hour a
day is better than 4 hours once a week. An hour a day is even
better, but the secret is consistency.
