12 Amazing Spanish Duets

All these songs are for learners of all ages. I love listening to them with my niece and nephew. As you listen to the songs, follow along with the lyrics to learn the new vocabulary words. 

1. Recuerdame by Marc Anthony and Natalia Jiménez

Natalia Jiménez, the singer from La quinta estación, has a beautiful and haunting voice. Marc Anthony sings both in Spanish and English, and in my opinion, he has one of the best male voices in the Spanish music industry. They sing about a relationship that has ended, and ask to remember each other when they were in love. 

Lyrics 

2. Devuélveme la vida by Malú and Antonio Orozco

Malú is known in the Spanish community for being a specialist in duets. In this song, she teamed up with Antonio Orozco and recorded a duet that was a hit! This is a love song about forgiveness and disappointment.  

Many Spanish duets are passionate because it’s part of the culture. This song is no exception, and they’re singing to each other about feeling alive again after heartbreak. Duets are often about love because a man and a woman sing to each other. This is a heartfelt song full of great vocabulary to practice your Spanish.

3. Olvídame y Pega la Vuelta by Pimpinela 

I had to include this Spanish duet because it’s one of my all time favorite songs. The melody and lyrics are engaging and it’s great practice to act it out with a family member or friend. 

It’s a conversation that a man and a woman are having over the phone. She narrates how long it’s been since he has seen him and how hurt she is by him. Then he calls and the song gets started. 

It’s sung by Pimpinela, an Argentine duo known for singing romantic songs even though they are brother and sister in real life. 

Lyrics

4. La bicicleta by Carlos Vives and Shakira

This fun song brings together two powerhouse artists with a love song dedicated to a place that they love. Shakira and Carlos Vives are both Colombian, and in this playful song they talk about riding a bike through a town in Colombia. They ride the bike, dance with the people, and celebrate their success with the locals. It’s a wonderful song to sing and dance along with! 

Lyrics

5. El duelo by La ley and Ely Guerra 

El duelo translates to “the duel.” It’s an enchanted song that was played live by La ley on an Unplugged MTV concert. It’s a song about fighting, but the lyrics are poetic. La ley is a 90s rock band from Chile. Ely Guerra is a Mexican singer songwriter. Beto Cuevas wrote this hit song. 

Lyrics

6. Sin miedo a nada by Alex Ubago and Amaia Montero

Not many people knew who Alex Ubago was until this song. This Spanish duet put him on the map. Amaia Montero is a famous female pop singer. Together, they created this hit. I discovered Alex Ubago because of this song and went to his concert, which was wonderful. It’s still a popular song in Spain and Latin America. 

Lyrics

7. Colgando en tus manos by Carlos Baute and Marta Sánchez

You may recognize this popular Spanish duet. It’s a romantic song where a couple declares their deep love for each other. Carlos Baute is a Venezuelan singer and Marta Sánchez is from Spain. The Spanish duet was a smash hit. Sing along to it and enjoy. 

Lyrics

8. Puede ser by Dani Martín and Amaia Montero

This is another song about what could be. This song is all about feeling heartbreak and whether or not it’s worth it to fall in love again. I think we can all relate to the fear of trusting again after being hurt. In the end, you’ll find out whether Amaia and Dani give love another chance or not. Take a listen and find out. 

Lyrics

9. ¿Quién? by Pablo Alborán and Alejandro Sanz

It’s rare to find a Spanish duet with two men. I like this song because it’s different from most. These two singers are from Spain. In this song, they talk about what could have been. It’s another one of those songs that makes you wonder. Who will be able to deal with me now? Who will understand my sense of humor? Who? As you might have already guessed, who means quien.

Lyrics

10. A la sombra de una mentira by Rosendo and Luz Casal

Rosendo and Luz Casal are older rock stars who came together to interpret an amazing version of A la sombra de una mentira, which was originally released in 1994. This song is about missing someone you care about; it could be about love but also friendship or family.

Lyrics

11. No puedo vivir sin ti by Coque Malla and Anni B Sweet

Many Spanish duets are about love, and this is no exception. This version is a remake of the original song by Los Ronaldos. Because the song was such a hit, Coque Malla and Anni B Sweet decided to give this Spanish duet a try. It’s about someone who thinks that they should be tired of their beloved by now but isn’t. It’s the perfect song to dedicate to a beloved who you’ve been with for a long time. 

Lyrics

12. Estoy hecho de pedacitos de ti by Antonio Orozco and Alejandro Fernández

This classic was written and sung by Antonio Orozco, who joined forces with Alejandro Fernández to redo this hit Spanish duet. This love song is all about being in love and wanting the world to know it. It’s a love letter to the one you love.
