La Oreja de Van Gogh is a pop rock band from San Sebastián, Spain, formed in 1996. The band is known for their catchy melodies, poetic lyrics, and powerful vocals. They have been praised by critics for their ability to blend pop, rock, and folk influences into their music. La Oreja de Van Gogh is one of the most popular Spanish bands of all time, and their music continues to be enjoyed by fans all over the world

Geografia – “Geography” is a song about the power of love and equality of all races and ethnicities. Is a song about how to make a better country. The lyrics tell us the desire of a girl who wants to invent a country for her and her lover, describing all the things she would like their country to have alongside all the things they need to make it real. 

In terms of learning Spanish, Geografia isn’t a difficult song to practice, the lyrics may look a little confusing at first but if you a basic knowledge you will be able to get used to them quickly. Overall is an excellent song to practice after listening to their other songs like “Rosas”.

If you are looking for a song that is both beautiful and meaningful, then I highly recommend "Geografía" by La Oreja de Van Gogh.
