Music is one of the most playful ways to learn a new language. Start-ups are aware of this and now offer learning programmes specially designed for music lovers. And especially for fans of certain artistes.

Among them is Maluma. The Colombian reggae artiste is being honoured on Memrise, on the occasion of the debut of his tenth studio album, Don Juan.
