David’s Mother is Honduran, David speaks spanish to his grandparents, he says he isn’t fluent but Spanish was his first language according to him.
He speaks spanish with a perfect accent. I can’t wait to hear him sing this song.
Looks like the Latino community really enjoys David talents. I hope they gonna do better than the english version….Poor MJ , his song was just destroyed.
And Jessica, his mother is from Hondures and his father from Spain the spanish/latino roots are on his blood. :)
i believe his parent are from Honduras….very Happy for David Archuleta I will be looking forward to hearing this version!!

youtube David’s version of Contigo at the Alma Awards and you’ll see how well he can sing in Spanish. He’s not fluent, he calls it “pretty broken”, but he can speak well enough with his abuelita so that she can understand him.
David’s mother is from Honduras and his father is Spanish, Danish, Irish, German, Iroquois, and Mexican.
Jessica David’s mother is Honduran. Both parents speak Spanish. David has sung in Spanish before. He also speaks some Spanish and he has grandparents that only speak Spanish. He actually does have the Black Hair and beautiful skin and looks like his Mom and Maternal grandmother. He sang @ the Alma awards and got rave reviews.
In any case, thrilled that he is part of this song and charity.
You didn’t know he could speak Spanish? His mom is from Honduras. You should watch this video. He can kick any adult singers’ butt!!

lol cristina my parents watch that sometimes…
Hope he gets a solo part but it’s all good either way! I sure he’s glad just to be part of a good cause.
His dad’s European and mom’s Honduran. I also believe he has a bit of Chinese in him as well.
Go David! I think he speaks spanish better than he says (he thinks he sounds funny, looks weird and can’t dance, too -ha! we know better David!)
Luv him -can’t wait (and it’s gotta be better than the new english WATW!)

David certainly can sing in Spanish. He won Male Artist at the ALMA awards last year and also performed there Contigo en la Distancia to an audience of all Latino celebrities and sports figures. I hope this link works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZN7hBq7bBo
I’m glad David gets to be a part of this! He has an amazing voice with so much emotion and depth. Way to go David!!!!
AWESOME!!!!! I’m so glad David is involved in this wonderful project. He’s an amazing artist, human being, and philanthropist. David is very proud of his latin roots and we are VERY proud of him!
David es un orgullo para los latinoamericanos, para los hispanos en general. Felicitaciones David!
David is such a good choice to participate in this recording. When he sang at the Alma Awards he blew everyone away with his gorgeous voice and presence on the stage. Cannot wait to hear the final product!
