Welcome to Coffee Break Spanish. Hello, I'm Annabelle, and I'm excited to back to pass me for here. And today, I would like to talk about music. Iscuchas music in Spanish? What type of music you like? A me, me are quite genders, and,

and, I like to listen music in idiomas different.

I like to listen to music in different languages, but I'm going to talk only about

Spanish music in this episode. In fact, I'm bringing you a text about a Mexican

singer that I like a lot. This way, you can practice some listening comprehension

and get some new recommendations. I understand that listening comprehension activities can be tricky.

And that's why I organize this episode a little bit differently. I'm going to start with some key words, key vocabulary that you're going to find in the text that I will read. After going through these keywords, I'm going to tell you three questions that I will ask later. This way, you know what information you should listen out for, and that way it will be a little bit easier. After telling you the three points that you should be focusing on, I'll read the text twice.

After reading the text those two times, I'll ask you again these three questions and then you can answer. After that, I'll give you the answers. Very well, then, all this? Let's start with some key vocabulary you'll hear. Destacada is an adjective that means important. Destacada. Then we have a leiba. And this is the name of a Spanish artist,

Leiba. We also have a lanzado. This is the perfect tense of the verb, lanzar. And when it's related to music, it means has released, so it comes from the verb to release. A Lanzado.

We will also hear Exitos Como solista. So, Exitos is a masculine and plural noun that means hates. And then we have

Como Solista, which in this case means solo. So these Exitos Como Solista means solo hits. We'll also

hear Le A Permitido. This is from the verb Permitir, and it means it has allowed here. Le ha permittido. And the last word in our vocabulary list is Consolidandose.

This comes from the verb Consolidar. So consolidandose means consolidating herself. So consolidatear means to consolidate. Now the questions are, Ake's dedica Jimena? What does Jimena do for a living? The point two is, mention at least two artists

with whom she has collaborated with. And the point three is, Numbra at least one of his Exits'E as Solista Name at least one of her solo hits. You can answer these questions in Spanish or English. Now, we'll listen to the text. Let's listen to the text.

we've found his work with Jason Embrass in Lucky.

Miguel Bose in the song Aire Soy and with

Leibah in the song Godzilla and Hysteric of Felicidad.

Also, has also has had have accomplished various exits
