Where Can One View Spanish Music Videos?

Whether you are looking for Techno, Raggaeton or Salsa, Spanish music videos are readily available for viewing in various media outlets---all you need to do is find them, either by checking out Spanish or Latin American MTV, Batanga or YouTube, among other places.
  1. Spanish MTV and Its Sister Latin American MTV

    • When you think of music videos, one of the first names that often come to mind is MTV. For almost three decades, the people behind MTV have brought us the latest in music videos. In Spain, as with so many other places, MTV is the gold standard for excellence in Spanish-language music videos.

      While the navigation is in Spanish, it is simple to find the videos as the word means both the same in English and Spanish. Here, you will be able to keep up with all of the latest trends in Spanish music, along with various offerings including some mainstays of English language MTV.

      If you are more interested in specifically Latin American content, then mtvla.com may be your answer. While much of the content is similar to that of its sister from Spain, MTV Latin America provides an emphasis that is decidedly less European. Eschewing some of the electronic music choices, this version of the site provides more options for those seeking Reggaeton or the smooth sounds of Enrique Iglesias.

    Batanga

    • On the other hand, MTV might just be a little too corporate for your tastes. After all, you like mainstream music, but it has gotten to a point where people reminisce about music still being on MTV. If that is the case, then Batanga may be the right choice for you. While sporting an intuitive interface with plenty of options, Batanga offers much of the convenience you find on MTV, but the videos are mostly Spanish language. Furthermore, the site is easy to navigated and is not as encumbered by the at-times clunky interface of its competitor. In addition, there are radio channels dedicated to various types of Spanish and Latin American music, so finding your next favorite band is just that much easier.

    YouTube

    • Then again, maybe you are looking for something different, something strange, something completely out of the ordinary. In that case, your best bet is YouTube. While the various MTV sites provide excellent coverage and high-quality videos, their selection is far more limited than that of their North American counterpart. Perhaps you have a passion for La Movida Madrileña, and you are just aching to find something by Alaska y los Pegamoides, on YouTube you can find it. In addition, YouTube boasts all the interface and features you are already accustomed to.
