When, back in 1984, Bob Geldof was shell-shocked by the African crisis, he first recorded a single : "Do They Know It's Christmas" with the cream of the English pop artists of the time. This led to a lot of similar charity singles around the world. The Spanish ,French, and American songs detailed above are among them.(from: http://liveaid.free.fr/pages/bandaid.html)

Why not do a unit about bullfighting (very popular in southern France as well as in Spain) with your Spanish colleagues? It can be a stimulating source of discussion and debate. Many ideas and connections are contained on my Tauromachie wiki page, including art, literature , film, music and more. Note that there are separate pages linked therein for the Corrida and additional forms of "bull games" in France. [|A Day at the Bullfight for French and Spanish Classes]
