What are some jazz/spanish like songs?

Question

I'm teaching a jazz dance with a spanish theme for young kids and was looking for a fun upbeat song that is sort of spanish like. I have Let's Dance by Miley Cyrus, but am looking for something better. It has to be upbeat, but not like super fast and it would be good if it had words. Are there any modern jazz/spanish/english songs? Thanks!!! I'll vote!

You have posed an interesting question. I imagine that there are many medium tempo rumbas that could be used for jazz dance and would be good for an adult group... There are some Christina Aguilera songs, that she sings in Spanish, but those might be too fast for your kids. Since you are teaching kids and you said you wanted something not so fast... hmmm? Three of them come to mind that are slow to medium:  Madonna "La Isla Bonita", Enrique Iglesias "Bailamos" and Thalia "Amor a La Mejicana" Hope this helps.
