Musica!

So currently the most popular song in Spain is Ai Se Eu Te Pego by Michel Telo, which is actually a song in Portuguese. The song became popular as the result of when two Real Madrid football players Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo Vieira celebrated a goal by doing the corresponding dance to the song. The dance is now a very common goal celebration throughout the entire European football. The skyrocketing popularity of this song demonstrates the enormity of the cultural power football has over citizens in Spain. I really do enjoy this song it's very catchy and it's fun to do the dance! 


Another Song that is constantly being played is Danza Kuduro. If you go to a discoteca you will most certainly here this song more than once! 


They actually listen to a lot of American top 40 songs here, which I personally find entertaining as some many people here do not speak an ounce of English but know all the words to Rihanna's current hit.
