Our local Spanish language station has just been replaced by a station that plans to play Rush Limbaugh all day long.  No matter what your politics are, you have to admit that that is ironic.  So where do we go for Spanish language music?   Your area may be fortunate to have at least one Spanish language station.  If you have satelite radio, there are plenty of choices there.  If none of that applies to you, try the internet.  There is a plethora of websites that lead you to Spanish speaking radio.

Be forewarned, however, that some of these sites may be difficult to navigate.  For one thing, they’re usually in Spanish, so if you are a beginner, that makes it a little difficult from the outset.  Also, several of these sites either just don’t seem to be very user friendly or intuitive, or some (or most) of the station links don’t work.  Sometimes, I think they work but they just won’t work with my computer (or at least I don’t know how to make them work with my computer).  Sometimes the file endings are not what I’m used to.

And finally, just like English language radio, a lot of the music is just plain boring.  It’s mostly top 40 radio, only Latino.   So if you like top 40 radio at home (I don’t), you might like these.   Here are a few links to get you started.  You can also Google Spanish Radio, Mexico Radio, Spain Radio, etc.

Multiligual Books has an interesting site.  Pick a country from anywhere in the world, any language, and it will give you a list of radio and tv stations from that country, and (supposedly) links to hear them.  I had trouble opening a few (okay, most) of the links.  If you know what I’m doing wrong, please let me know.

Listen Live,  Radio Time (I had much better luck playing these),  E-Spanyol,  Batanga.
