Abrázame Muy FuerteJuan Gabriel
“Abrázame Muy Fuerte” is the theme song of the 2000 Mexican drama “Embrace Me Tightly.” The story is about a beautiful farmer’s daughter who is deeply in love with a handsome worker on the farm, and how her father opposes and sabotages their romance.
It’s that classic, melodramatic love story you often see in dramas (lol).
This song is crafted as a perfectly over-the-top, passionate love ballad to match the tale.
Te QuieroFlex
“Te Quiero,” the lead single from Panamanian singer Flex’s debut album, was released in 2007 and used the following year as the theme song for a Latin American drama.
In 2009, it won in the Billboard Latin music category.
“Te Quiero” means “I love you” in Spanish.
True to its title, the song conveys passionate and straightforward love for a romantic partner.
In conclusion
When we say Latin music, it spans many countries—Spain, Mexico, and even across South America.
This time I picked out classics and hit songs from various countries; which country’s music did you like best? For me, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Cuba are musts.
It’s often said that Spain and Italy, in particular, have many highly skilled vocalists.
Why not use this article as a chance to dive into Latin and European music? English-language songs aren’t bad, but if you prioritize the quality of the compositions and the artists’ abilities, I recommend Europe, where the line between art and business is clearly drawn.
