Latin
Latin music is a broad heading for music from Latin America, Spain and Portugal, and for music sung in Spanish or Portuguese anywhere.
It is a market category more than a style, and it holds dozens of very different genres: salsa, reggaeton, bachata, cumbia, regional Mexican music, samba, Latin pop and more. The US record industry uses the label to group mostly Spanish-language releases. What ties it together is language and region, not a shared rhythm or set of instruments.
Artists it is known for: Celia Cruz, Juan Gabriel, Shakira, Bad Bunny.
