Steemit Open Mic Week 81 - Jon Magnusson - El Mayor (cover of Silvio Rodriguez) - Steemit Music League Challenge S2:R8 - Latin Theme
Today I'm moving far outside my comfort zone and singing a song in Spanish. This is one of my favourite songs from my favourite hispanic artist, Silvio Rodriguez.
And I thought the Che Guevara-beard I'm working on gives some extra spice to the performance.
And this is for sure the first time I'm recording my self speaking spanish, so bare with me.
Y este es un regalito para todos mis seguidores hispanohablantes ;)

Good Luck, I found it sweet that you tried to sing in my native language, I could not make out all the words at some points it sounded almost italian but they're similar, but really sweet and as spanish speaker honoured .
Thanks! :) Since the guitar part is quite difficult it's really hard to also concentrate on the pronunciation AND the lyrics! But it's really good practice :)
I am learning a song in Latvian to surprise a super sweet fellow latvian friend and I don't know the language, I know the feeling :) hahaha
I'd say that is quite ambitious all that finger picking and singing in a non-native tongue! Quite well done!
Thanks buddy!
You're welcome! Keep up the great work!
Good luck Jon! I don't speak Spanish (and don't dare trying) so kudos for you!
Ayyyy what talent you have o myyy. To be able to play the guitar and sing in a non-native language o weeee.
Appreciate this cover of the amazing Silvio Rodriguez. What a way to honor the song and artist by singing in Spanish love ittttt.
Love the passion in the part around 2:02.
Much love and respect for trying something new for you. Excited to hear your next Spanish tune.
Thanks a lot buddy!
You're very welcome bud. Excited to hear more Spanish tunes from you.
