Thanks to its variety and character, Spain's musical heritage has fascinated people from all over the world for centuries. The infectious beats seeping across Spanish borders have influenced numerous talented musicians, and today the popularity of Spanish music is reflected in contemporary pop all over the world. The artists on The Rough Guide To The Music Of Spain are all distinguished representatives of contemporary Spanish sounds. They record with independent local companies, and while you might not usually find their music on commercial radio or in the bestseller lists, you will hear it in everyday life: in homes, bars and cafes - rising up from the streets.

Artists include: Javier Ruibal, Companyía Elèctrica Dharma, Luís Delgado, María Del Mar Bonet, Diego Carrasco, Ronda Segoviana and José Antonio Ramos with Pancho Amat.
