Recommend some fun, Spanish language music

Looking for artist/album recommendations to gift a friend who is trying to improve their Spanish. I'm not picky on genre, just something relatively upbeat to listen to while running or cooking.

I feel the same way about vivir mi vida https://youtu.be/YXnjy5YlDwk

Also la copa de la vida is the perfect World Cup song. Not sure why they try to reinvent the wheel every four years. https://youtu.be/_xR4UrkJzO4 I also like vida https://youtu.be/HgvyuodcQ6A

In that vein, the Spanish version of Shakira's Waka Waka (Esto es Africa) is catchy, too. The lyrics are very simple and are easy to sing along to when you're learning the language: https://youtu.be/dzsuE5ugxf4
