"Enséñame a cantar" (Spanish pronunciation: [enˈseɲame a kanˈtaɾ]; "Teach Me to Sing") is a song recorded by Spanish singer Micky, written by Fernando Arbex. It is best known as the Spanish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1977, held in London.
Background[]
The song is an up-tempo number in which the banjo plays an important part. Micky sings about how he one day goes for a walk and how he finds a girl playing the instrument and singing on his doorstep; she sees that he has something on his mind and promises to "teach him to play and sing" to help him forget his sorrows. Micky also recorded the song in French and German, as "Apprends-moi à chanter" and "Ich singe la, la, la" respectively.

The song was performed 14th on the night, following Sweden's Forbes with "Beatles and preceding Italy's Mia Martini "Libera". At the close of voting, it had received 52 points, placing 9th in a field of 18.
It was succeeded as Spanish entry at the 1978 contest by José Vélez with "Bailemos un vals".
