So I am wanting to be fluent in Spanish (working retail in Texas is helping that process), and I'd like to further immerse myself by listening to Spanish-language music. I've been tuning my car radio to Spanish stations, but I'm not getting much music I would otherwise listen to.
I have found an indie-rock kind of band I'm liking so far, courtesy YouTube -- Aventuras de Kirlian. They were active in the '80s, according to Wikipedia.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm thinking there are some native-speaking members of RKnet, if I remember correctly. _________________ I am flawed if I'm not free

Oh, no, I'm not limiting it just to indie. Good hip-hop would be great. I'm open to anything, really, that sounds different from what I usually hear on Spanish radio. So far, other bands I have found via YouTube include:
-Papa Topo (indie-ish)
-Soda Stereo (older stuff: new waveish)
-Belanova (electro-pop)
-Moenia (electro-pop)
-La Barranca (alt rock)
-Bacilos (has a more mainstream pop sound, and actually I heard them on Sirius XM, not YouTube) _________________ I am flawed if I'm not free
I can't remember the band, but there's this cool song called "Déjalo" that has a mix of Spanish and English lyrics. You might like it. (I'm really sorry, just being silly.)
I do remember hearing a band called Los Abandoned who sang songs in "Spanglish".
The bands people suggested sound fun, I'll have to look into more to brush up on my Spanish. _________________ ~music boxes, morning glories, and on and on and on...~
