Viva Latina: ¡Juanes!







Juanes was honored as person of the year for the 2019 Latin Grammys this year.

As my homage to every Spanish teacher’s favorite singer, I’ve put together my list of some of Juanes’ best songs both classic and new all in my humble opinion.

For classics, Es por ti, A dios te pido and the iconic La camisa negra. What Spanish student hasn’t had their teacher rock out to those or play them incessantly in class?

Even cooler is that at the party to honor Juanes, Rosalía did a rendition of Es por ti, Juan Luis Guerra did a version of A dios le pido, and my current obsession Ozuna did a version of La camisa negra with a reggaetón spin.

My favorite new Juanes songs included on this list are La plata and Aurora. I’ve also included Querer mejor featuring Alessia Cara which brings me back to his 2012 duet Fotografía with Nelly Furtado.

If you enjoy these songs, I highly recommend you listen to Juanes’ classic album Un día normal and Mi sangre in their entirety as well as his brand new album Más futuro que pasado.

¡Viva Juanes!
