Tunesday 17: Juanes
April 14th, 2009 at 12.58am (Tunesday)
OK, this is probably an embarrassing post but I am too exhausted to care!
Juanes is a Colombian artist (Spanish-language) and his stuff is shake-your-butt-around-the-house danceable, which is all I care about sometimes. It’s super catchy and especially fun to sing along with if you don’t understand Spanish. He’s been around for quite a long time in various projects, but I only found out about him around 2004 or so — my Spanish professor used to play his records when we had class study/work time, and I have always maintained that learning a language is way easier if you listen to music in said language, so I’m sure that helped.
(According to Wikipedia he used to be in a metal band, which sort of rules.)
This tune is from his second record, Un Día Normal, which is the only one that I know all the way through. It’s one of my favourites — I challenge you not to dance. It’s impossible … that bass line is practically an order! Go forth and be joyful.
Coming up: a review of Willie Nelson at Massey Hall (including Billy Bob’s remarks!) and some comedy commentary, maybe.
