Spanish movies and music
It's easy just to find a Spanish movie or music, but instead of I'm just finding something random on the Internet, I would rather ask you, what you think is good.
I believe it's a good way to learn a language (especially its pronunciation) through movies and music, even though I don't know Spanish very well yet. It will also give me a feeling of how Spanish is used in the real world. I'm open to all kinds of music and movies. It would probably be good if the movie has lots of dialogues, but I don't require it, so suggest me whatever you have on your mind. Thanks!

Oh, that's funny. I just realized, that my favorite artist has made songs in Spanish. Hitherto I had thought he only made songs in Portuguese and English, but also, Spanish! Great. The artist I'm talking about is Devendra Banhart if anyone's interested.
I'm still open for suggestions from you!

was really quite nice. There's a very famous singer named Chavela Vargas whose soulfullness resembles Banhart's. At an advanced age, Pedro Almodóvar put her in one of his movies. This casting made her internationally famous not just in the Spanish-speaking world but everywhere else too. I heard other Banhart clips on You-Tube, and they sound pretty wild. Chavela doesn't go there, but there's samples of her sound on the internet if you are interested.

I love the clear pronunciation and music style that Gloria Estefan offers. Her Mi Tierra album is very nice. She is Cuban, so she has a Latin American accent, but that is what I learned. |

Thank you for the corrections, and I will look into Gloria Estefan.

I only mentioned this to you in case you weren't aware that you were using quaint language. (Hitherto doesn't appear to be as old as whence or wist. I would not try to use those on the unexpecting public. ) |

Rusty's suggestion is good. If you can obtain the lyrics to the songs. Read the lyrics and listen to to singer at the same time, it really helps. Listening to singers is a great way to learn to speak better. Ballads are always best for beginners. The boleros from the 1950's, though old-fashionsed can help, because they are often sung clearly and usually the words make sense.
