I started listening to Spanish music first before I actually picked up a Spanish book ^O^
I don't know if you like my type of music or not... but here is the list anyways!
Reik's "Noviembre Sin Ti" (my all-time favorite!)
Aleks Syntek's "Loca" and "Duele el Amor"
Juanes - Para Tu Amor
RBD - Este Corazon
Prince Royce - love almost all his songs
Check out my "likes" (Tracks) on Pandora for more Spanish music. Pandora is a great option to search for new Spanish music once you enter your favorite songs/artists.
Hope that helps! :D
Here the lyrics aren't too challenging:
Righeira - Vamos a la playa

Los del Rio - Macarena
Gypsi Kings, Tequila... Diana Navarro is not my music style but she has a marvellous voice and I really advice you heard if you want to learn Spanish ;)
Okay, it really depends on what type of spanish music you are interested in. Of course for spain spanish, there is paco de lucia, estrella morente, and andres segovia. For say latin american music, I have as of late been listening to Fito Paez, Gustavo Cerati solo work, Jaime Roos (uruguayan), and for fun music: No te va Gustar, Cuarteto de Nos, Los Arbolitos y Babasonicos.
