I didn't understand a word he said, but it was still a good show. Hell of a lot better than the game itself.
I don’t understand Spanish, but i understood perfectly the visuals, the historical context, the love, acceptance, and the message.
Knowing the language isn't necessary for enjoying the music, in my opinion. There's plenty of "world music" (music outside my own country/language) that is just that. And I'm finding I like it more and more!
Here's a great example I found over the years. There is a song in the US called "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". It's alright, but the original version is from Africa. "Mbube" is the African name of the song. The versions I have heard are so much better than the English language version. The ones I know of are by Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Miriam Makeba.
Finally picked up on it when I looked up the intro music to Coming to America!
Gran Turismo actually has introduced me to a TON of great world music.
Another example that might be good is Baba Yetu, the Grammy-winning theme song from the game Civilization 4. Its lyrics are probably better known to people as the Lord's Prayer, just translated into Swahili.
It was superb; one of the best I've seen. With reverence to Prince, ofc.
