LivingAbroadFilter: Help me mimic the Castillian accent through music!
I love the music of Juanes, but I am trying to learn the Castillian accent. Most of the sources for Spanish music that I like, and have found, do not have it.
Can anyone help me out? Much appreciated!

Also, just noticed the LivingAbroad filter and looked at your post history, so I assume you're actually in Spain now and thus the "in the US" stuff doesn't apply. Oops. :) That may make it easier, though, since you can just go out to the store and buy stuff...

Response by poster: That song rocks, Kosh! Definitely has a "Spain" accent... and a great beat! The only thing lacking (for me) is the hard "j" and "ge/gi" sound, which I am finding difficult to apply.

Juaquin Sabina is a singer / songwriter/ poet. . I would go so far as to call him the Spanish Leonard Cohen. Here is his web site.

Do you specifically want Castillian, as in Castilla-La Mancha, or do you mean Spain in general? I came in here to recommend La Oreja de Van Gogh (whose vocalists Montero and Martínez are Catalan and Basque, respectively), but if you mean just general Spain, besides them, a few I enjoy, (all well-known enough to not give you any trouble):
Bebe
Amaral
El sueño de Morfeo
I didn't give specific titles, just poke around a bit as each have songs in different styles and tempos.

There's also Macaco and Bebé, both on YouTube and iTunes.
