Rosana exploded onto the Spanish music scene in
1996 with her debut album, "Lunas

Jose Nacho is their latest CD that includes
their greatest hits along with several new songs.

have a song about the story of Laika, the Russian space dog that anyone

Torroja and Miguel Bose sing duets and
their greatest hits.

This CD is incredible. Imagine Mecano's lead vocal

That's exactly what Gira Dos is, with wonderful live versions of Mecano's
favorites mixed with Miguel's greatest. The two performers also team
up to do some memorable duos.

   Ultimo De La Fila
La Rebelion De Los Hombres Rana is their latest and best selling
album.
Style: Pop-Rock
Nobody sings or writes like these two guys from Catalunya. It's hard
to call them anything less than "original," with such songs
as "Vestido de Hombre Rana" and "Las Hojas que Ríen."
Many have said no Spanish music collection is complete without at
least one of their CDs. They are my personal favorite because their
lyrics are so poetic.

Eros
Style: Pop-Rock
Okay, so he's Italian, but Eros's Spanish-version
albums still have that same upbeat style and compelling lyrics that
make him so popular in Spain. His songs are sure to get you moving.
He's also done a duet with Tina Turner that was a hit in Europe and
made him one of Europe's most popular singers.
