The Best Spanish Party Songs LightSpeed Spanish

Posted December 12, 2019 by Gordon Smith-Duran

The best Spanish party songs- According to my ‘suegros’.

Just like in most countries, here in Spain there is a definitive list of the best Spanish party songs which always appear in any Spanish party worth its salt.

Unlike the parties in my home country, in which everyone has to have a good old drink before they dare get on the dance floor and sing along to the song, here in Spain, singing and dancing whilst being totally sober is the most natural thing in the world.

Listen in as my ‘suegros’ (in-laws) talk and sing us through their version of the best Spanish party songs on the planet.

Un saludo, Gordon y Cynthia:)
