Learn Spanish with music! One of my favorite singers is Juanes. Juanes is a Colombian musician who has won more than 20 Latin Grammy Awards! One of his top hits was La Camisa Negra. It is a fun song, but there are some “double meaning” words to it. This is very common in Juanes music. The lyrics can be a bit confusing to the beginning Spanish speaker. This video will try to help you better understand this fun song.
