a place for weird, unique, or oddly specific playlists. please read the pinned post here for a more detailed description


the rules:

  1. be civil. let’s try to keep our community as chill as possible. no bullying, zero tolerance for transphobia, hate speech or any of that bigoted bullshit.
  1. be content with the content. if someone didn't make a playlist the way you would, make your own and post it please. no bullying, no picking on, mocking or complaining about anyones playlist or musical tastes.
  1. remember: all music is good music to someone. general discussions about music you like and don’t like is fine, but please refrain from comments that will make someone feel bad about what they enjoy.
  1. no self-promotion. this is not a group for promoting your music or a business, website, app, instagram.. you get the idea. it's just playlists in here

My wife teaches Bilingual middle schoolers (spanish/english). Around 40% of the kid's Moms are from Mexico.

To get the kids to clean up the classroom she has a small list of school appropriate "Cleaning songs". She never announces it or tells them to clean up. She just turns the music on 5 minutes before class ends.

All the kids with Mexican moms, pop up and start frantically cleaning. The other kids, after a bit of confusion, follow.

She says "I might as well take advantage of all the Pavlovian training their mothers have done."

La Chona is like a national anthem

Good playlist but its missing all the ballads. If it doesnt sound like a late 90s/ mid 2000s KLVE radio then my moms not having it

Where's "rata de dos patas?"

Not Hispanic or a mom, but I've been wanting more Latin-american music in my life. Will have to check it out.

On a side note: does anyone know of any Latin-american metal bands? Like, kind of a fusion of Latin-american stuff and metal?

Edit: thanks y'all for the suggestions! I've been sick so I haven't really been able to check anything out, but I'll be sure to do so when I feel better.

Does Sepultura count?

Hmm, I can't think of any metal but I'm certain I've heard some recently. The closest recommendation I can think of is Hocico, but they're aggrotech-industrial so it's not really what you want I think

edit: found what I was thinking of Brujeria - Bruja Encabronada https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImLwCP5Pfuo

You can check hermética, horcas or imperio

The girl band Ha-Ash has a fantastic cover of Unforgiven. The rest of their songs are not in the same vein but I jam that cover all the time.

Sepultura, soulfly, brujeria, ill nino, ershetu(french, but their debut album focuses on mayan mythology so there's influences from that area), mago de oz (Spanish folk metal, so not quite exactly what you're looking for, but they're very good nonetheless)
