The many cultures of South and Central America and the Caribbean islands blend American Indian, African and European (particularly Spanish and Portuguese) traditions. In folk music, the particular combination of elements varies from region to region, from the purely Indian forms of highland Bolivia and Amazon rain forests peoples to the mestizo (‘mixed’) music of Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador, the largely Hispanic music of Argentina, and the distinctive style of Brazil, which blends African and Portuguese forms. Minorities such as the East Indians of Trinidad and Guyana, the Javanese of Surinam and the Japanese of Brazil complete this rich musical scenario.

Less Iberian heritage has in general been preserved in Latin America than British in North America; many areas are devoid of Latin influence. But some Hispanic poetic forms dating from the Middle Ages and Renaissance (for example the romance) are performed in a variety of forms throughout the continent, such as the copla of Colombia, the Andean countries and Argentina. Other folksongs, such as the Argentinian and Chilean Tonadas and Tonos, also preserve old Spanish literary forms. In contrast to the thriving Anglo-American tune repertory of the USA, however, few extant Iberian melodies are current in Latin America except the Hispanic children’s repertory, which is similar in its Old and New World settings. In the Andean region of Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador, indigenous Indian music has absorbed Spanish elements, a process that began under the influence of 16th-century Christian missionaries. Andean tunes are essentially European, but often have much repetition and use tetratonic and pentatonic scales. This blend stands in contrast with the marked lack of acculturation between Anglo and Indian style in North America.

Music has played an important part recently in Latin America’s politics, the nueva canción movement being a prime example. Latin music is very diverse, with the only truly unifying thread being the use of Latin-derived languages, predominately the Spanish language, the Portuguese language in Brazil, and to a lesser extent, Latin-derived creole languages such as those found in Haiti.

Although Spain and Portugal are not part of Latin America, Spanish music and Portuguese music are strongly cross-influenced with Latin music.

Latin Music will rock the world this year.

There are so many choices in music today. With cultures crossing more than ever, and the US being the ultimate melting pot that it is, it’s no wonder that Latin music is hitting an all time high. It’s not easy hitting the charts with Latin music though. Critics are tough and artists have to be able to cross cultural boundaries now more than ever to be heard and kept on the charts. These top 5 latin music bands and artists have proven they have a sound worth hearing and rhythms guaranteed to lift you off your seat.

Son De Cali delivers an explosive mix of tropical music rooted in traditional Colombian sounds.

Tiempo Libre:

Two-time Grammy-nominated Tiempo Libre is one the hottest young Latin bands today. Equally at home in concert halls, jazz clubs and dance venues, the members of the Miami-based band are true modern heirs to the rich tradition of the music of their native Cuba.

Tiempo Libre’s members were all classically trained in Cuba’s premiere conservatories at a time when it was illegal to listen to American songs on the radio. Now, the group is a hit in the U.S. and abroad, celebrated for its incendiary, joyful performances of timba, an irresistible, dance-inducing mix of high-voltage Latin jazz and the seductive rhythms of son.

Charlie Cruz:

Charlie Cruz, who today divides his time between Puerto Rico and Tampa, grew up in the small town of Naguabo. His love of salsa began as a 10 year old, when he became a backup singer in the orchestra of his father, Fonzy Cruz. The more he was exposed to music, the more he loved it. As he gained stage experience and worked with established salsa hit makers, Cruz realized how much he truly loved the genre. His life changed drastically when he was invited to perform at a concert and share the stage with top acts like Gilberto Santa Rosa, Victor Manuelle and Tito Nieves. As a result of this performance, he was signed by Sir George Records. Under this label, he produced such hits as “Bombon de Azucar” and “Amarte es un problema.” “Dejala que Baile,” the first single off Mas de mi, features an upbeat, catchy flavor that will have every salsa fan swinging their hips on the dance floor.

Aventura (bachata)

Aventura is one of the most unique and innovative artists on the scene today. After more than ten years of sparring in the music business, these four young, dynamic guys with a seldom-seen chemistry continue to auto-produce soulful, original music that gleams with excellence. They are the first “Bachata-boy band,” the first band to fuse the essence of bachata with R & B, hip hop and other American pop styles; the first Bachata band to perform in English, Spanish and “Spanglish.” When Aventura performs its songs, Dominican/Caribbean culture fuses with the vivid tapestry of New York’s dynamic melting pot.

Latin music has a huge number of audiences all over the world. Since, music has the power to cross the barriers of language and culture, Latin music is adored and appreciated in all the countries of the world. Latin music is known for its melody and rhythm – salsa, rock in Spanish, Latin music videos and dance numbers are frequently played in parties and clubs.

Music videos, video albums and popular songs of movies are compiled to form video albums. Popular artists, composers, musicians and instrumentalists work hard to make their albums hit.

However, some compositions hit the market and leaves silently, whereas, some make a buzz. On the other hand, some of the songs become all time hit – generations after generations listen to those all time favorites. Artists, composers, lyricists who contribute in making those unforgettable songs become legend.

A number of Latin music videos are released every year. It is quite difficult to keep track of all new releases. One easy way to know about latest music albums and videos is: watching music channels regularly. Most music channels keep their viewers updated on recent releases – trailers and reviews are telecast before the release.

However, it might not be possible for you to stick to music channels 24×7. Then what is the other way to stay updated? How can you ensure that not a single release is overlooked? You can subscribe to a music magazine that reports on latest releases, artists, musicians and keep their readers informed on various happenings in the music industry.

Popular music magazines often set up online edition for their readers. Online music magazine is also a great source of information about Latin and Spanish music. There are general music websites and niche websites. General sites cover information and news about all types of music; whereas, niche websites like Spanish music magazine or Latin music websites keep track of Spanish and Latin music only.

However, a lot of people think twice before buying a new album as it is difficult to predict how good it is in advance. Even when it is of a popular music artist, people lurk when it comes to buy a new album.

That is why music charts are made for. Music news websites maintain a list of popular albums and update the list daily or weekly. This is a good way to judge the potential of new music videos. One that remains in top 10 for long must be a good one. Hence, apart from watching music channels on television, keep a close eye on daily or weekly music charts to find out hit Latin music videos – go with the trends.
