Flamenco: the soul of Spain?

Ask many people around the world what comes to mind when they think of Spain, and chances are flamenco will land near the top of the list. The sinuous moves; the rapid, hypnotic shoe tapping; the staccato hand-clapping; the mesmerising guitarwork; the plaintive singing - if you've never witnessed a performance in person, your first time in particular will stay with you forever.An art form and indeed a sensibility closely intertwined with the culture and traditions of Andalusia, flamenco grew…

Peculiarities of Spanish in Equatorial Guinea

NordNordWestHere's one for my fellow language geeks! Not too many are aware that Africa has a Spanish-speaking country! Equatorial Guinea in West Africa was Guinea Española, ruled by Spain for nearly 200 years, and Spanish is an official language which unites the country, spoken by most of its population alongside local languages like Fang, Benga, and others. And though on the surface local Spanish greatly resembles that spoken in its former colonizer, there are some interesting differences:…

    Hola, Jay! Donde aprendiste tu español? (Sorry, I should've put that upside-down question mark!)

    I've always found that music -- especially pop songs -- have been great for improving my Spanish. So I thought I'd offer one of my favorite songs from several years ago, Marc Antony's "Muy dentro de mi" (in English, it's "You Sang To Me"):


    Solo quiero que vuelvas a mí
    para otra vez poder sentir
    lo que es amor, estaba muerto de dolor.
    Sin ti mi vida ha sido gris
    y no hay nada que me haga más feliz
    que escuchar tu voz, oh, junto a mí.
    Hoy contigo sé lo que es vivir
    sin tu amor yo no quiero seguir
    ya no tengo miedo a amar,
    esta vez no tengo miedo a amar.
    Oh, que bello es amarte así
    qué suerte es tenerte a ti
    escuchar tu voz, oh, junto a mi.

    Todo el tiempo que estuviste aqui y nunca te vi
    y la luz de amor brillaba ardiendo en tu mirar.
    Qué ciego fui -- nunca te vi
    y hoy te siento
    muy dentro de mi.
    Esa llama de amor sólo la enciendes tú
    como extraño ver tu rostro bajo el cielo azul.
    Que ciego fui -- nunca te ví
    y hoy te siento
    muy dentro de mí.

    Y pensar que hoy vives en mí
    no sabía que podía existir
    este amor entre los dos.
    Hay tanto amor entre tú y yo.

    Tus palabras me llenan a mí,
    me motivan y me hacen sentir...libre.
    Todo el tiempo que estuviste aqui y nunca te vi
    y la luz de amor brillaba ardiendo en tu mirar.
    Qué ciego fui -- nunca te vi
    y hoy te siento
    muy dentro de mi.
    Esa llama de amor sólo la enciendes tú
    como extraño ver tu rostro bajo el cielo azul.
    Qué ciego fui -- nunca te ví
    y hoy te siento
    muy dentro de mí...
