This collection is complete. All associated files can be found on the catalog page: http://librivox.org/spanish-poetry-collection-002/

Spanish Poetry Collection 002

This is an open collection: you may submit any recording of a Spanish language, public domain poem without claiming it first. This collection will consist of ten poems. When this collection is full, another will be begun.

Following are some resources for Spanish language poetry in the public domain:
http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/languages/es
http://www.elaleph.com/ (requires registration)
http://sonnets.spanish.sbc.edu/

Recording Information
At the beginning, read the abbreviated "librivox disclaimer":
"[Título del poema], por [autor], grabado para LibriVox punto ORG por [su nombre]" or some variation on that, adding date, location, your personal url, if you wish.

At the end say: "Fin del poema. Esta grabación es del dominio público." and leave a few seconds of silence.

If you are using a poem you found at elaleph.com, please be courteous and acknowledge that they provided you with the text.
Puede decir, "El texto de este poema se puede hallar en elaleph punto com," o algo similar.


If you are new, please check the Recording Notes thread before recording:
http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6427#6430
If this is your first recording, you'll also find this useful:

Technical Details

Bit Rate: 128 kbps
Sample Rate: 44100 kHzs

Save your recording as an mp3 file using the following filename and ID3 tag format:

File name all in lowercase: [poem's title]_[author's last name]_[your initials].mp3

Hi Daniela, glad you have you.

If the poem is in Spanish, just record it (as per the specifications in the first post), upload it and post a link to it here in the thread.

If the poem is in some other language (say Portuguese), it should go in the Multilingual Poetry Collection

Hi,
Spanish is my second language, I probably have an American accent....... So, should I still do a poem?

Perfect fluency is not a requirement for doing any recording (else I'd never have been allowed to submit to some of the French projects), so go for it!

Hi,
I'm still trying to find a good Spanish poem to read. I guess I'll just keep looking. I don't want something too challenging... Something short and easy...

Hi gipsygirl, nice voice!

I find the topic too wide to get decided on anything. I looked at the Gutenberg link but there were all sorts of texts in Spanish and the only ones I recognized as short poems were the Rimas from Becquer.

It would be easier if you would constrain the scope (an author, a style, a topic, a collection...) Would you mind sending me a couple of links to poems you would like to have recorded? I could work on these.

Thanks for pushing this little project.

We don't put constraints on the poetry collections. But if you need help picking something, give me some clues... are you more interested in classical poetry or more contemporary stuff? European or Latin American? If I know what you're interested in, I can point you to some different websites.

Déjame pensar... What about poetry with a social / political background? I don't mind about countries or ages, from Calderón to Cardenal anything is well received. Thanks!

¡Bravo arturo! The last one brings me memories from Pedro Páramo.

Les cuento. I'm currently on holidays, without laptop and only with a couple of mobile devices that won't record beyond 8Mhz. In a couple of weeks I will arrive back home, I'll get a proper mic and I will start contributing spoken words.

Un cálido abrazo a mis próximos desconocidos. Les sigo escuchando.
