Música

I feel like I have heard music from all over the world in Spain.  I heard some traditional Vasque music in the dance activities; Spanish, Portuguese, and American music in the bars; and random bits of reggae, techno, and street music in various places.  The other day in Casco Viejo, I even heard something that Nebraskans call "The Chicken Dance" while I was out shopping.  I think the song is of Czech or Polish origin, but at Nebraska football games, when the band plays this song, people get up and sing "I don't wanna be a chicken, I don't wanna be a duck, so I shake my butt!" and then clap three times while they do the dance that goes along with it.  The video is just one I found on youtube, but these guys are good, haha!

I have heard so many different varieties of music in Spain that I am having trouble picking one particular kind of music, but I can definitely say that Spaniards love music!  Music is everywhere!  I hear it in cafes and bars, on the streets, at festivals (especially in Santurtzi), in most of the clothing stores, and of course, in class!    I usually only like one or two songs by any particular artist, so for me it has been great to hear something different everywhere I go.  I wish I could find this much variety in the U.S.
