I've been looking for some for the last several years. My brother-in-law, who is Mexican, assures me there are some but he has yet to bring me any. Another friend, Jose Rubio, who is from Guatamala, told me he'd heard some but was also not forthcoming with the songs.

There may not be any.

I'm sure there are plenty of sea shanties in Spanish. All we have to do is do some serious looking. Of course, I'm handicapped by not having learned Spanish but I guess that now that I'm shooting my mouth off I'll have to try to dig some up from Hugill et al.

Hmmmm. None listed in Hugill's SONGS OF THE SEA. Maybe there aren't any!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

And "Farewell Spanish Ladies" offers a cameo appearance by the ladies of Spain....maybe under the Pope and all they didn't feel encouraged to make up jolly songs?

There's the Kipper's Hairdressing shanty "As we combed the Spanish mane"

Hows about
"In 1558 our armada it set sail
Then we sank to the bottom of the sea"

Got French sites by the dozen, but can't find a single Dago one.

Caliz07, there is a Spanish shanty (of sorts) in 'Admiral of the Ocean Sea' the biography of Christopher Columbus by Samuel Eliot Morison. I don't have the book here in front of me, but I bet it is in your local library.

Does The Golden Vanitie count, or would you rather ones where the Spanish aren't the Enemie?
