It just so happens that Cinco de Mayo falls on Thursday 5/5/2022. Let’s explore and share songs in the Spanish language. Perhaps this will inspire you: five songs in Spanish with the ukulele! If you play the piano, you can download the 6-page PDF of the Ketchup Song. There are so many “chord melody arrangements” or possibilities of well-known songs in Spanish linked below.
DRESS CODE: bright colors like red, white, orange, … evoking excitement and passion
We will open this session at 3 pm EDT (8 pm BST) with a short lesson on how to correctly pronounce Spanish the way we see the text in print. This will help you sing the Spanish lyrics more accurately.
