Music soothes the savage beast: “Ironing music”

In Colombia (and perhaps in other parts of the Americas) the genre of adult contemporary music is colloquially called “musica para aplanchar” (translation - “ironing music.”) This slightly derisive term is used to describe the tunes housewives or servants would generally listen to as they run their errands at home such as ironing clothes.

With the help of the ever popular YouTube, here’s a small sample from artists past and present whose music definitely fits in the category of “musica para aplanchar”:

Ricardo Arjona – Desnuda


Roberto Carlos – Amigo (Live, Unknown)


Franco De Vita – Un Buen Perdedor


Ana Gabriel – Destino (Live 2006)


Ednita Nazario – Vengada


Voz Veis – Farolito
