¡Buenos días!
There's an old Spanish song (is 1988 old?) that has had a resurgence due to the pandemic in Spain when people started playing it from their balconies and singing along. It's by a group called Dúo Dinámico and the song is called Resistiré. It's become an literal song of resistance and a new version sung by modern artists has been recorded for charity (take a look! It's really good!). Here's the original song as sung by the Dúo Dinámico:
The Dúo Dinámico are an extremely popular group from the 60s who are still active today. Its founding members, Manuel de la Calva and Ramón Arcusa, are singer-songwriters, record producers and actors. The song Resistiré was a hit in 1988 and had a resurgence when Pedro Almodovar included it on the soundtrack of his film ¡Átame! (known as Tie me up! Tie me down! in English) in 1990.
The Progress with Lawless Spanish teachers have prepared a reading and listening exercise based on the song lyrics. It can help you practise Cuando + El Presente de Subjuntivo vs Cuando + El Presente de Indicativo, Aunque + El Presente vs El Presente de Subjuntivo and Using the "accidental" reflexive (se) with an indirect object pronoun.
