Latin music is an umbrella term used to describe different types of music from Spanish or Portuguese-speaking countries, including Latin America, Spain and Portugal and songs sung in these languages.
The term Latin music encompasses all genres, from bossa nova and salsa to reggaeton and bachata music. It is an important representation of rich and diverse Latino cultures across the world and has had a significant impact on the music industry. In the United States, there are over 60 million Latin Americans which is why this music genre has greatly influenced music in the USA.
Some early examples of Latin music include Antonio Carlos Jobim, the father of bossa nova, and the incredible guitarist Carlos Santana, who mixed rock and roll with Latin American jazz to create a new and exciting fusion of genres. In recent decades, Latin music has seamlessly integrated into the international popscene with stars like Luis Fonsi and Romeo Santos.
