Lieblings deutsche Bands hier in Mexico
- hier hört man sehr gerne gothic rock Bands, wie Lacrimosa, Sanguis et Cinis und Sopor aeternus etc. Ich habe verschiedenen deutschen Menschen über diese Rockbands gefragt, und niemand von diesen Menschen kennt keine diesen Bands, aber hier sind sie sehr berühmte.

Johann Sebastian Bach
- I love German Baroque classical music as well as German Classical music, in general. I am currently learning to play Bach's "Arioso" on my electronic piano key board. It is in the key of F major with a time signature of 4/4 and the notation of "Adagio cantabile".

German songs I like
- Samsas Traum especially his light albums like "Aura und das Schnecken Haus", very distinctive and yet soft German vocal, Also some very beautiful female German vocals from Untoten (songs like "Cyntia", "Kleiner Tod"), Rosenstolz ("Kleiner Prinz") - and of course this very positive thing named Dschinghis Khan and his not very much known album "Corrida" - it has very beautiful German songs there with clear and understandable German:)) These bands and theirs songs they are proof that German is not harsh and rude, that it is very melodic

Studentenlieder
- Years ago baritone Erich Kunz, with maennerchor, recorded rousing university and drinking songs, mainly from 18th-19th centuries: still lots of fun, lively lyrics. And how can one speak of German music without the great classical masters, still loved and performed hundreds of years later? My all-time favorite: Schubert.

German music
- My father made a trip to Germany in the 1980's and he bought an LP by Peter Maffai: steppenwolf. Great music with good rythm and also I found it easy to pronounce.

Annett Louisan, my favourite singer
- A favourite German singer of mine is Annett Louisan. She has the prettiest German I have ever heard, with saucy lyrics in quite a few of her songs. Louisan reminds me of a cabaret singer. She has a sweet, melodic voice when she sings. Her musical style is a blend of pop, chanson and a bit of jazz thrown in. There's also Nena, another artist. I particularly love 99 Luftbalons- which is quite famous, and political.

German Retro
- I play the 80's song "Ohne Dich" for my students. It's a cheesy ballad, but it's easy to make out the lyrics, and it makes for a good intermediate level translation exercise.

German music for learning
- My favourites for learning German are Klaus Hoffmann & Michelle. The lyrics are generally very easy to follow, the tunes are not too complex (so they can help you remember the words), and tons of them, with the lyrics are on Youtube. E.g. I learnt the correct usage of "denn" as opposed to "weil" by listening to Michelle's "Einsam ohne dich," and whenever I get muddled, I just run that line through my head, and I'm ok:-) (Yes, I also love German (and Austrian) classical music, but I'm talking about using music for learning German).
