March Madness Song List

12/22/2016

11 Comments

 

Thank you all for your song suggestions so far! We have received a lot of interest so far from classrooms across the U.S. and I am very excited about bringing Spanish students together from across the country to participate!  As a reminder, I will post a bracket of 16 songs popular Spanish songs, and then two songs will "battle" each day.  I will post youtube videos of those songs here on my website, along with an online poll for students to vote on which song they liked better.  The tournament will last 3 weeks in March and end up with one grand winner!  Here are some additional rules:
-Songs chosen will obviously need to have lyrics that are school appropriate.  With multiple schools participating, we will error on the conservative side if there are any doubts.

-Although we may have some music video rounds if two songs in a battle have appropriate music videos, most of the battles will be lyric videos for students to sing along if they wish.  


Here is an initial brainstorm of songs to include.  Please feel free to give feedback and make further suggestions as a comment to this post! Do you think Stand By Me, Prince Royce and Waivin the Flag David Bisbal have too much English?

Vivir Mi Vida- Marc Anthony​
Soy Yo- Bomba Estereo
Creo En Mi- Natalia Jimenez
Mi Primer Millón- Bacilos
La Camisa Negra- Juanes

Picky- Joey Montana               Caótica Belleza - Esteman
​Limbo- Daddy Yankee


Waka Waka- Shakira
Stand by Me- Prince Royce
Carnaval- Maluma
La Melodia- Joey Montana
Tengo Tu Love- Sie7e
Corazon Sin Cara- Prince Royce
Prueba De Amor- Sie7e
Eres Para Mi- Julieta Venegas

El Mismo Sol- Alvaro Soler
Hoy es Domingo-Diego Torres​
Echa Pa'lla- PitBull
La Gozadera- Gente De Zona
​Waivin the Flag- David Bisbal
​Copa De La Vida- Ricky Martin
​LatinoAmerica- Calle 13

Spread the word! The more classes participating, the more fun it will be!

My students loved this activity last year! How about "Bailando," (Enrique Iglesias) or "El Perdón" (Nicky Jam/Enrique Iglesias)? Those are two of my students favorites. Others . . . "La Bicicleta" by Shakira/Carlos Vives; "Juntos" by Juanes.

Hola, I did a music bracket last March and my Ss enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to see this one! Thanks for the planning.
If anyone ends up doing this on their own...here are a few things I found out or will change for next time. Plan all songs out in advance to be the most efficient in doing the match ups. I made the mistake of putting a few songs we had already done--and those turned out to be the favs usually. I wanted to get an assortment of genres and genders. For the second half I did pairs of the same style of music (i.e. Salsa, cumbia).

Is there a 2018 list so I can play songs ahead of time for my classes. Or do the match ups come out later? Thanks I just learned about this idea and am getting used to the set up. It sounds great!
