Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

Spain is one of the Western European countries that places a special importance on music.

As exemplified by flamenco, Spain has its own unique musical traditions.

However, it’s rare to find Japanese media that accurately describe the real Spanish music scene.

In this piece, we’ll break down the realities of music in Spain.

We’ll introduce artists who represent each genre, so if you’re looking to discover Spanish artists you’ll love, don’t miss this.

Now, please sit back and enjoy!

When people think of Spain, many probably picture flamenco or the bolero, but in fact it’s also a country of opera.

There are even operas that take Spain as their theme, like Granada.

Among the singers who are especially beloved in Spain’s opera world is Plácido Domingo.

He is the great opera singer who once performed as one of the Three Tenors alongside Italy’s Luciano Pavarotti and his compatriot José Carreras.

He is an opera singer with exceptional expressive power, so be sure to check out his dramatic repertoire as well.
