Hispanic Heritage Month Elementary Playlist

This year for Latine / Hispanic Heritage Month I've been playing music by Latine / Hispanic musicians in the morning as students are entering school, and I ended up discovering a lot of new kid-friendly songs and artists in the process of my research to find songs to add to my playlist that are clean enough to play around the preschoolers but cool enough to avoid the 6th graders rolling their eyes when they come into school. All of these songs have fit the bill!

Whether you use this playlist as a whole or look through to find a new song or artist to feature in your lessons, I hope you find this playlist useful! I made sure the lyrics were appropriate for kids, but also tried to include broad representation of a variety of genres and artist's nationalities, a mix of traditional and modern, children's music and pop.

To learn more about how I recognize Latine / Hispanic Heritage Month in my classroom, and find links to culture bearers and resources I recommend, here is my blog post on how I recognize Latine / Hispanic Heritage Month in the music room.

I hope to continue adding more songs to this playlist as I discover more songs and artists and continue to expand my representation! Please share your recommendations in the comments so we can expand the list together.
