"Spanish" music for a party this evening

[Xaerve]

I'm attending a party this evening and need some help making a "spanish" music themed CD. I say "Spanish" because the party is celebrating art from Spain at a art museum on campus.

If anyone knows any nice classy Spanish bands that I should purchase, please let me know! :)

Pitbull.

Preferably with guest appearences by the ying yang twins.

You might want to narrow down the genre of the 'spanish' music you're looking for.

Classical?

Instrumental?

Modern?

Folk/historical?

I could fill up hours of CD's with spanish classical appregio guitar instrumental music, I love to listen appregio guitar.

I would guess your needs depend on what art is being exhibited and who your audience in attendance will likely be (students?)

Gipsy Kings. FIN

[Artha]

Enrique Eglasias.

I just got the Gipsy Kings cd, its perfect, Thank you!

Ganalon can you reccomend any "spanish classical appregio guitar instrumental music"?

[Bobmuhthol]

Los Lobos.

[Dropped_In]

Los Lobos is a winner. Also check out the Gotan Project, Hybrid Tango, Telefunka, and the Bajofondo Tango Club (created by Juanes' producer).

A la luz de la luna llena - Daniel Nightingale

Flamenco - Carlos Montoya

Anything by John Williams (very talented appregio picker)

*Essential Guitar: 34 guitar masterpieces - various artist collection - great overview/intro into the genre.

*one of my fav's.

Forgot to add Villa-Lobos

[Martaigne]

This isn't necessarily Spanish, but Hispanic, being that it's Brasilian Jazz. Gato Barbieri. Super good stuff.

[Xaerve]

Thanks everyone, really appreciate the advice.

I tortured myself all day trying to give you a good link. I have nothing that I know of out of Spain at the moment.

But it dawned on me that you might look into the Gilberto family from Brazil. Babel (http://www.bebelgilberto.com/), daughter of Joao, has a beautiful voice with that refined latin sound.

calling John Williams very talented is actually understating his skill imo. I remember when Sky came out - it was the first 'fusion' band that really worked for me.

Also, one of the best Flamenco performances I ever saw was a solo by Eddie Van Halen (Spanish Fly), strange but true.

I like his stuff, just dont know if I'm experienced with this genre enough to call him outstanding. I do like his music though.

Spanish Fly by EVH is worthy of divine worship. ;) He also does a great job in his Little Guitars (intro) since we're on the topic of appregio picking.

it's arpeggio, not appregio.

Paco de Lucia is synonymous with spanish, rapid fire arpeggios.
