MUSIC (for learning Spanish)

[elat]

Hola! Here are some examples of music (flamenco and rap) in Spanish language that i like. I would like to learn proper Castillian Spanish, so i am wondering which one of this would be the best to listen.

Music has a powerful augmentive effect on memory, and it can be a good technique for vocabulary building.

I've been roaming the Disney Channel the last few days, (I still like to have closed captioning available, to guide my comprension). As usual I record the audio, slow it down about 10% with pitch adjustment and make CDs to play in my car.

What's good is the sentence structure is simple, although sometimes the voices can be annoyingly off-key such as with Manny:

The Jake and the Pirates series works reasonably well for me. The singing is a bit gruff, but you can tell the cast and writers don't take the pirate backdrop too seriously, and they vary the music styles:

I'm also gotten quite a bit of value from the Jota Jota series. While not music, these are small one minute shorts about subjects already understood as an adult, so it's possible to follow the context. The format of a parent explaining subjects to a child is also makes comprenshion easier:
