Question

What are some popular singers from Spain in the 50s?

Answer 1

Here are some Spanish singers from the 1950's...

-Francisco Pérez ("España no hay más que Una", 1950)

-Jorge Sepúlveda ("Mirando al Mar", 1950)

-Marifé de Triana ("Torre de Arena", 1959)

-Gloria Lasso ("Luna de Miel", 1959)

They are not too many because in that time Spain was under the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, which was more busy trying to reconstruct the country than promoting culture.

Many of the popular songs in that time came from abroad (especially the US, the UK, France and Italy), and had to go through a censorship committee before being aired or distributed.

The 60's would later be a great decade for all kinds of music in Spain, especially pop-rock.

Hope that helps!
