Various Artist - Papagayo! The Spanish Sunshine Pop & Popsike Collection (2006)

The mainstream works in bizarre patterns, take for example this compilation of neat, often delightful spanish sunshine pop. You'd think that these bands conquered the Iberian Peninsula back in the day but that wasn't the case, most of them dwelt in obscurity and faded from the public consciousness almost immediately. That's why compilations such as these end up being so valuable, not just for the music they hold inside but also for how they add another long-forgotten piece to the puzzle of spanish music.-Tezcatlipoca
