Music of Latin America
The term
Latin American music, Latin music or its shortened form is used popularly to encompass different rhythms and music of Latin America and the Caribbean.
This term was first used from the 1950 in the United States to refer to the traditional rhythms of Latin America, seeking to differentiate between the styles of African American Afro-Latin Americans. In this sense, it is considered that are part of Latin music, a wide range of genres:
merengue,
bachata (
Prince Royce &
Romeo Santos ),
salsa,
reggaeton (
Daddy Yankee and
Chino Y Nacho),rumba,
musica ranchera (
Jose Alfredo Jimenez &
Vicente Fernandez ),
bolero, bossa nova,
cumbia Sonidera, tango, fado, milonga,
Rock Latino (
Mana &
Cafe Tacuba ), music from northern
Mexicans to the sophisticated habanera of Cuba, from the symphonies of Heitor Villa-Lobos to the simple sounds of the flute. The only thing in common with these musicians is the use of Latin languages, predominantly Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, although the latter term is preferred Latin American music.
In its most generalized form, Latin music is for dancing and popular music originating from Latin America or who are simply interpreted in
Telenovelas.
Accepting the popular definition, one can say that there are different styles of Latin music in the Americas,which predominates in the musical elements in varying degrees Europeans, Africans and Indians. In the past, several authors have suggested extreme positions like Latin music is deprived of the African influence, or otherwise, which is purely African and indigenous elements and no Europeans. Today, it is generallyaccepted that Latin rhythms are syncretic. Specifically, the Spanish forms of songwriting, African rhythms and European harmony are major parts of tropical Latin music, as well as more Mexican genres such as
latin hip-hop,
narco corridos including
el movimiento alterado,
musica grupera,
pop Latino and all the other
musica regional mexicana genres including
bandas Mexicanas and the popular top Latin billboard categories;
chicano rap,
vallenato,
musica cristiana and
Mexican mariachi.
This also includes various of the popular artists who rank #1 in sales and top the Latin Billboards constantly, outranking some of the popular English artists / bands. This list of artists includes, the popular
Espinoza Paz, including the diva
Jenni Rivera ,
Banda MS &
Banda Los Recoditos (banda),
Gerardo Ortiz and his brother
Kevin Ortiz,
El Komander (narco corridos),
Larry Hernandez (corridos) and
Roberto Tapia (norteñas),
Mr. Capone-E &
Ms. Krazie (chicano rap),
Don Cheto (latin hip-hop),
Calibre 50 &
Noel Torres (musica sierreña)
Luis Guzman.
The tenth way to compose songs of Spanish origin in which there are ten lines of eight syllables each, was the basis for many styles of Latin American songs. The African influence is also central to Latin rhythms, and is the basis of the
Cuban rumba, the bomba and plena from
Puerto Rico,
Colombian cumbia, the Brazilian samba, the
Ecuadorian marimba and various styles
Peruvians as the celebration the Land, the panalivios thesocabón, son of the devil or the bull kills. In Peru there are regions where African musical influence is intertwined with the gypsy. Examples of this are found throughout northern and central China in rhythms such as zamacueca, marinera and slippery. One of the rarest musical miscegenation, afrogitana draws influence of Andean culture, giving rise to rhythms such as tondero the cumanana and Peruvian waltz. In
Argentina, the African influence had a lot to do in the formation of rhythms such as: Chacarera the Malambo, the Payada, Tango, Milonga (jacket and urban), and of course, the Argentine Candombe and its variants (the afroporteñothe afrolitoraleño, etc.)..
