Voces Digital: 6 Fashion and Beauty Songs for Spanish Class

Darina and Madison

We’re thrilled to partner with Voces Digital, a leading Spanish curriculum platform that helps teachers bring language and culture to life in the classroom. As part of our collaboration, we’ve created curated music resources aligned to each AP Spanish theme, starting with this post on Unit 3 of Nuestra Historia 2 about Beauty and Aesthetics: Fashion and Design.

Beauty permeates Spanish songs – not just in the melodies, but in the lyrics, style, and cultural values they express. Whether your class is discussing the cost of beauty, changing trends, or how fashion reflects culture, music makes these ideas accessible, memorable, and fun. Plus, teachers searching for Spanish lyrics, Spanish karaoke songs, or even easy Spanish songs to sing will find plenty to love here.

All the songs below are available in a Roxxem playlist complete with Spanish lyrics, music videos, and interactive activities like slides, printable worksheets, and classroom games such as Whac-a-Word and Quiz Ninja. It's the perfect way to combine music, culture, and vocabulary in one engaging experience.

1. "Ropa Cara" - Camilo

This satirical pop song by Colombian artist Camilo tells the story of someone changing their image—literally buying expensive clothes—to impress a love interest. While the sound is catchy and fun, the lyrics cleverly critique the pressure to look a certain way and the sacrifices people make in the name of appearance.

2. "Bonita" - Juanes and Sebastián Yatra

This vibrant duet between two Colombian superstars celebrates someone’s beauty with playful, poetic admiration. The lyrics focus less on fashion labels and more on how someone’s presence and style make them stand out, which reinforces that confidence and individuality are what truly shine. It's a lighthearted way to spark discussion around what beauty means in different cultural contexts.

3. "El Anillo" - Jennifer Lopez

Bold and commanding, El Anillo is a reggaetón-pop anthem where J.Lo flips traditional gender expectations by confidently asking, “When am I getting the ring?” The fashion-forward visuals and luxurious tone highlight how beauty and appearance can be tied to power, agency, and status, especially in the public eye. It’s a great fit for analyzing how aesthetics can be used to assert identity, not just follow trends.

4. "Tacones Rojos" - Sebastián Yatra

This upbeat pop hit paints a vivid picture of admiration through a single item: a pair of red heels. Rather than focusing on status or trends, the song highlights how style can reflect someone’s spirit, energy, and presence. It’s an easy, feel-good way to introduce how clothing can become a personal signature and cultural symbol.

5. "Ojos Marrones" - Lasso and Sebastián Yatra

In this emotional ballad, Yatra reflects on a past relationship, focusing on something as simple and symbolic as brown eyes. The song invites listeners to think about the beauty found in everyday, unfiltered traits as a powerful contrast to idealized or commercialized standards. It's an accessible way to explore the idea that beauty is often about connection, not perfection.

6. "La Plata" - Juanes

Blending Colombian folk sounds with modern pop, La Plata tells the story of someone who gave everything — money, style, effort — for love, only to be left behind. The song playfully shows how appearance and material gifts can become part of romantic performance, raising questions about the cost of beauty and what it actually buys.
