Good Spanish language music

I'm a little biased to them, but check out Caifanes.
One of the best (if not the best) Mexican rock bands ever.
Check either of these 2 albums: "El Silencio" or "El Diablito". Great stuff in there.

Caifanes/Jaguares are awesome I fell in love with them about 8-9 years ago & can't stop listening to them they are my latin pearljam i see them everytime they come here in chicago.

Also check out Manu Chao LOTS OF ENERGY!

Caifan82 what do you think of the progression of Caifanes to Jaguares do u like where Saul has taken it? Any news of a new album up there theve been doing xx aniversary tour for over 1 1/2 now?

Soda Stereo (great rock band from Argentina) and the solo albums from his lead singer Gustavo Cerati (some rock mixed with electro-sounds), Manu Chau's first cds but i'd rather recommend Mano Negra (former band, he traveled the earth and played along with musicians from all around the world). Also Lumumba (reggae band from Argentina, just great and underrated)...Fabulosos Cadillacs (mix rock, ska, reggae, salsa)..there are some other great bands but i'd recommend those for start. There's also a cool cd which mixes Rolling Stones songs with brazilian Bossanova (match ups). Enjoy
