1. La Rosalía
Don Patricio is a Trap and Reggaeton artist from the Canary Islands. His baby face might make him look like the boy from next door but he’s got a vibrant personality. If you’ve heard any of his catchy tunes it will be surely be Contando Lunares…
3. Lola Índigo
Despite being eliminated early on in the talent contest Operación Triunfo, this did not stop Lola Índigo from climbing to the top of the charts with her upbeat, sassy melodies. Not only can the star from Granada sing, but she’s a professional dancer too. Lola has strutted her stuff to back up the acts of A-list artists like Enrique Iglesias (another male Spanish singer!).
4. C. Tangana
C. Tangana, who has dubbed himself “el madrileño”, is from…surprise, surprise: Madrid! He produces Rap/Trap music and regularly performs at famous Spanish summer festivals like Primavera Sound. If you’re a true fan, you’ll know which song postludes the most recent season of Paquita Salas – one of our best Spanish language shows on Netflix.
5. Aitana
Aitana was born in the cultural capital Barcelona and also shot to stardom after participating in Operación Triunfo. She competed to represent Spain with one of her songs at the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 but was not selected.

9. Álvaro Soler

10. Amaia
Last but not least, we have singer and pianist Amaia. She was born with perfect pitch, so it is no surprise that she went on to win the ninth series of the Spanish X Factor and represent the nation on Eurovision (alongside her competitor) with Tu Canción!
