NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Yousician, the
world's leading platform to learn and play music, and Duolingo, the
#1 language learning app, are teaming up with GRAMMY-winning
Colombian singer-songwriter Juanes to inspire fans and users to
speak the universal language of music. This unprecedented
partnership will give fans an intimate window into how "speaking
music" can shape everyone's creative journey.
In his Yousician Spotlight course, Juanes will show players how
he communicates through music with his signature guitar riffs and
rhythms. With content in Spanish and English, guitar players can
learn how to "speak music" along with him through
specially-designed tutorials for some of his best known songs,
including "La Camisa Negra", "Es Por Ti", "A Dios Le Pido", "Para
Tu Amor", and "Me Enamora".
Juanes and Duolingo's 'Relatos en Inglés', an English podcast
for Spanish speakers, will launch a special episode with host
Diana Gameros. Juanes will share his
language learning journey with life stories that have never been
shared before. This episode will mark the last episode of Season 4
'Relatos en Inglés'.
"One of the great joys of my life has been the ability to create
music that comes from my heart, and to do so in the beauty of the
Spanish language," says Juanes. "And just as I have spent a lot of
recent time creating my own interpretations of some of the songs
and artists that inspired me early on, it means a great deal to me
to collaborate with Yousician and Duolingo to help bring the
lessons I've learned to new aspiring artists looking to express
themselves through the music and language of our culture. I believe
there is a potential musician in everybody, and by using these two
programs in tandem, it's possible to learn Spanish and the language
of music together and have fun while doing so."
"We're thrilled to work with Yousician and Juanes in this
initiative," says Rebeca Ricoy,
Duolingo Country Manager for Mexico and Latin
America. "In addition to sharing the same passion for
education Yousician has, Juanes' ongoing philanthropic and cultural
efforts to make music accessible to everyone, regardless of what
language they speak, are perfectly aligned with what we're trying
to tell with Relatos en Inglés and Duolingo's mission to help teach
new languages to anyone, anywhere".
"It's a natural fit for Yousician to collaborate with the
world's leading language learning app, bridging the gap between
music and language and giving our users more tools for self
expression. Juanes is the perfect embodiment of this combination
and we're so excited to team up with the world's biggest Spanish
rock star," says Hadley Spanier,
Yousician's Global Head of Brand Marketing and Artist Relations.
"Juanes's perspective is exactly what our new Spotlight series is
all about: connecting artists and fans in a way only Yousician can
offer."
Yousician's Spotlight courses are a way for fans to learn and
play their favorite songs straight from the artists who made them
famous, a first for the education and entertainment market. No
other platform provides interactive artist courses with an
immediate structured path for users to learn, practice and
play.
As an incentive to join Juanes in the Spotlight, Yousician users
will be able to redeem an offer for an extended free trial with
this special link. Duolingo will offer 2 months free off Duolingo
Plus subscription using the promo code: JUANES here. Duolingo's
