Hi, I'm super late but:

Traditional Latin American pop of the absolute highest order. I don't know anything about this style of music, but I'm a sucker for flamenco guitar and Cuban rhythms, and on Musas Lafourcade lives up to her reputation as the standard bearer for this kind of stuff. Put this on and make paella for your girl and she'll think you're the classiest motherfucker she's ever seen.

1. Robbed. This album is fantastic.
2. I wouldn't call this anywhere near Lafourcade's signature style; she started off as a pure pop girl before transitioning into more of that "quirky indie pop" during the mid-2000s. This is basically a covers album; the songs are traditional Latin American songs from anywhere between Chile and Mexico.
3. Flamenco is a Spanish music style. This guitar is typical of bolero.
4. Paellas are Spanish as well but I'll forgive you. Just make sure that girl isn't latina haha.
5. Do listen to "Hasta La Raiz" if you liked this and haven't already; it's her best album imo.

oh shit, a person with actual knowledge. good to have you!

I actually did know this was covers, but it didn't feel all that significant from an outsider/layman perspective. naturally that changes if you're familiar with the style, but I didn't expect anyone here to be. I appreciate the genre correction too; I figured flamenco wouldn't apply, but I wasn't sure what else to use.

also, there's no way in hell I'd be making paella for any Spanish speakers! I work with enough actual Spaniards to ever risk my reputation like that.

will try and get 14-11 up tonight!
