This week, we going to learn the latin music and it features, and we going to listen works of the some of the most important of them.

LATIN MUSIC

Latin music refers to a musical genre that includes very different styles and is located in the regions of Latin America in which Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese are spoken.

With the arrival of the Spanish and Portuguese people and their music in America, a revolution of music begins.

The mixture of African, European and American rhythms produce a transformation and an enormous cultural wealth. We know today a great variety of rhythms that fill the countries of this diverse, complex and colorful part of the world.

We have to say that, for a few years now, at least in Spain and in the Anglo-Saxon world, it seems that all the music that comes from Latin America sounds like reggaetón. The reality is completely different, in fact these countries produce lots of unique music genres. To promote musical knowledge, I indicate below some Ibero-American musical styles and rhythms.

Some of the most popular rhythms today are:

• Merengue

• Bachata

• Salsa

• Reggaetón

• Rumba

• Ranchera

• Bossa nova

• Tango

• Chachachá

• Mambo

• Samba

• Guajira

Now we have here some of these works to get an idea abaout this music style.
