But for me the bottom line is the beauty of the voice, although my Spanish is limited to ordering drinks or food, and saying thank you, I really enjoy the sound of the Spanish tongue in music.
There is something about the Mediteranean languages and music, maybe it just brings back memories of sun, beaches, booze and food.
So kick back and enjoy the sultry sounds of Sílvia Pérez Cruz.
And along the way keep an ear open for her most recent album 11 De Noviembre which includes some of these songs.
