Today’s video features a Spanish band inspired by the Telemundo hit show Rebelde. Even though I could hardly comprehend what was said in this show which believe it or not I did watch from time to time a few years ago, the acting was very good.

What became abundantly clear was how gifted the stars were when it came to singing songs during the sitcom about their elite private school and the shady goings on. This show had your usual drama and kind of reminded me of a better version of 90210. No. Not the cheesy one which is coming out this Fall. Good god. How could they actually consider doing another one?

In any event, when Rebelde finally ended, the stars stuck together and formed a very popular group RBD. In four years together, this Mexican pop group has already sold more than 11 million albums. It consists of six people including the ridiculously hot Dulce Maria Espinoza Savinon. All the chicks in the show were pretty but the stunning 22 year-old redhead is a cut above. She’s an extremely talented actress who’s also written poems and a book and written songs for the group. She’ll be filming a movie this summer.

The band also contains beautiful blonde Anahi Giovanna Puente Portilla, who is a very good singer from Mexico City. Maite Perroni Beorlegui also starred in Rebelde debuting and is engaged to a producer. The male trio consists of Alfonso Herrera Rodriguez, Jorge Christian Chavez and Christopher Uckermann, who is currently working on a book.

Together, their music has become huge in Latin America. I’m not big into pop as I’m more into rap, alternative and classic rock and some metal. However, their stuff is very good and dwarfs most of the pop played on the radio here. It just works.

Here’s their Rebelde video:

Why did I go off the radar and choose this? Because Spanish music is different. I like to watch mun2 and sometimes Spanish rap videos are great. It just has a very good sound which works.
