Latin Indie
Latin indie is a loose heading for independent rock, pop and folk from Latin America and Latino artists, usually sung in Spanish.
Typical songs are guitar or synth based, with a softer, more personal tone than mainstream Latin pop and little of the dembow beat that drives urbano. Scenes in countries such as Mexico and Chile grew in the 2000s and 2010s around small independent labels. It overlaps with Latin alternative, which is the older and wider term.
Artists it is known for: Carla Morrison, Javiera Mena, Gepe.
