Looking to "prime the pump" for my own monitoring.
If you would give the frequency or frequency range, that would be great.

So, um... Spanish?Radio Havana still sounds the same as it did in 1983.
Frequencies?Two “Down under” HF groups I monitor is Australia off-road HF network and RDFS.
(Royal Doctors Flying Service) both have activity and normally a good copy here in SW Idaho, of course reception is based on time and band conditions
As far as I know they still have English broadcastsSo, um... Spanish?
I'm somewhat of a music "nut". The "most interesting" thing I heard (not lately) was Nights In White Satin in 1967. Been a Moody Blues fan ever since.

Part of the problem is, what I hear here on the west coast is not going to be the same thing you hear at your location. Also, it depends on what you call "interesting".
I typically hear a lot of military stuff, but because of my location I hear a lot of Asian mil stuff in the morning.
5685 kHz, USB, Probable JSDF, 3 units that sound like they are working an air defense tracking net.
5708 kHz, USB, Probable JSDF, 2 stations working traffic, shifted to STANAG 4481 FSK, and later ALE. Came back on voice later.
5757 kHz, USB, US mil, several aircraft, prosecuting ground targets. It was obviously training against SAM systems, probably at UTTR.
6827 and 5156 kHz, USB, radio checks and status reports from various units, 29 Palms.
4090 kHz, LSB, assumed Chinese mil, VC03.
Multiple frequencies (freqs change every month, 4 freqs per month), Chinese mil, VC01.
6435 kHz, USB, probable Mexican mil, several OMs, SS, including English phonetics.
Periodically you can hear US Navy exercises at sea, often air tracking evolutions. But those are not on fixed freqs, you just have to hunt around and find them.
Lots of different numbers stations, Asian, Siberian, and occasionally European.
Occasionally you hear "oddities", weird transmissions such as John F Kennedy's "Ask Not" speech, FDRs "Fear Itself" speech, on weird frequencies. One assumption is that these are SIGINT training transmissions.
There is still stuff to be heard on SSB, you just have to hunt for it.
