An Overview of Today's Most Popular Genres, Rhythms and Styles

Latin music encompasses a huge universe of sounds and styles, and subsequently, music experts have developed an extensive list of subgenres within the Latin category. If you are just venturing into this universe, the following article will provide you with a brief introduction to the most popular Latin music styles.

From the vibrant beats of salsa to the never-ending innovation of Latin rock and alternative music, the following are today's most influential Latin music genres.

Salsa is one of the most popular Latin music genres in the entire world. This vibrant rhythm is the result of several musical influences, which include traditional beats from Cuba and Puerto Rico and other styles such as mambo and Latin boogaloo.

Salsa owes its names to this amazing combination of sounds. Although the birthplace of salsa has been always an issue of debate, we can say with confidence that New York City was the spot where the original sound of salsa finally achieved commercial success.

Originally from the Dominican Republic, bachata is one of the most popular Latin music genres today. Although the making of Bachata music started back in the 1960s with the songs produced by Jose Manuel Calderon, this rhythm was not able to compete with the popularity that Merengue used to have.

That, however, changed in the 1980s when Blas Duran reshaped the sounds of Bachata with more appealing lyrics and the addition of electric guitar. In the 1990s, Bachata finally took off thanks to the romanticism that was incorporated into its music.

With the arrival of artists like Hector Acosta, Aventura, and Prince Royce, Bachata music has exploded into a mainstream phenomenon that has captured audiences all over the world. Other important artists include Juan Luis Guerra and Romeo Santos.

Regional Mexican Music

Considering everything that is included in it, regional Mexican music is one of the most generic terms in Latin music. You can find all kinds of popular and traditional expressions within this subgenre, ranging from norteno and banda to ranchera and corrido.

Regional Mexican music is one of the best-selling genres of Latin music in the United States with such artists as Vicente Fernandez, Espinoza Paz, Los Tigres del Norte, Gerardo Ortiz, Banda El Recodo, Jenni Rivera, Selena, La Arrolladora Banda El Limon, and Marco Antonio Solis collectively bringing in millions of record sales.

Thanks to its intensity and sensuality, tango has become one of the favorite Latin music genres in dance halls all over the world. Originally from Argentina and Uruguay, tango evolved during the 19th century in the immigrant communities of Buenos Aires.

At the beginning of the 20th century, tango moved into a mainstream phenomenon thanks to the music produced by Carlos Gardel, the King of Tango. Later on, a talented bandoneon player named Astor Piazzolla added to tango elements from jazz and blues creating the so-called nuevo tango. Today, tango remains one of the most distinctive ingredients of Latin music.

Merengue is another of the musical gifts that Latin music has received from the Dominican Republic. A favorite genre to play in any Latin music party, merengue is one of the most exciting genres in Latin music.

The origins of Merengue can be traced back to the 19th century, but throughout history, the sounds of Merengue have been modified with the incorporation of different instruments. In the 1980s, Wilfrido Vargas changed the tempo of the traditional rhythm shaping the sound that has characterized Merengue ever since. For the past several decades, the songs of Juan Luis Guerra have become a point of reference for Merengue music.

Other important artists include Eddy Herrera, Los Hermanos Rosario, Elvis Crespo, Olga Tañon and Los Vecinos.

Latin pop is one of the most popular Latin music genres today. Some of the biggest Latin music stars in the world belong to this genre. However, before the arrival of artists like Shakira and Ricky Martin, Latin pop was defined by the romantic music that legendary artists such as Julio Iglesias and Roberto Carlos produced back in the 1970s.

Latin pop represents the biggest chunk of the popular Latin music enjoys today as a mainstream phenomenon with artists like Enrique Iglesias, Juanes, Ricardo Arjona, Paulina Rubio, and Luis Miguel.

Latin Urban Music and Reggaeton

Borrowing influences from music styles such as hip-hop, rap, and reggae, Latin urban music has experienced significant changes during the last two decades. From the original sounds of the reggae fusion created by Panamanian artist El General to the reggaeton fever of the late 1990s, Latin urban music has continued to evolve into a complex genre that includes all kinds of tropical rhythms, pop and dance music.

Some of today's best Latin urban artists are also some of the most popular Latin music stars in the world. Latin urban music is definitely one of the most exciting Latin music genres today.

Brazilian Music

If I previously said regional Mexican music was a generic term, Brazilian music is probably the most generic term that exists in Latin music. Brazilian music is, in fact, as big as the country itself.

From samba and bossa nova to sertaneja and Brazilian popular music, Brazilian music has delivered some of the most famous Latin music songs in the entire world. Top Brazilian artists include legendary stars like Antonio Carlos Jobim, Caetano Veloso, Joao Gilberto, and Marisa Monte.

Latin Rock and Alternative Music

In general terms, the development of Latin rock has been influenced by the development of rock music. However, it was only until the 1980s that Latin America was able to come up with a defined musical expression associated with rock music.

Back in the time, it was known as rock en Español. Since then, however, Latin rock artists have started to incorporate all kinds of traditional Latin music rhythms into their music. As a result of this, Latin rock has become the force behind the development of today's Latin alternative music.

Latin rock has influenced Latin alternative music in the same way reggaeton and hip-hop helped shaped Latin urban music. Today, Latin alternative music offers the most interesting non-mainstream music in the Latin music world.

Regional styles and genres

Latin American folk and popular music comprises numerous musical styles and genres that have emerged over time in specific countries or regions. These styles originate in the indigenous, European, and African heritage of Latin America; the particular combination of influences varies by country, region, and social group.

Hispanic American and Luso-Brazilian folk musics continue to relate to their Iberian heritage. The most pervasive elements of that heritage are the main features of the European musical system: modal and tonal melodies, symmetric melodic contours, tonal harmony, sectional formal structures, and particular types of ensemble combinations and arrangements. Typical traits of Spanish folk song, such as regular two- and four-bar phrases with a repeated structure, prevail in the extensive repertory of Hispanic American vocal and instrumental music.

The most widespread song genres in Hispanic America are the Spanish romance, a ballad type of medieval origin, in a décima (10-line verse) or copla (couplet) literary structure; the song duel that gave rise to the desafio ("challenge"), contrapunto (poetry contest), and porfía ("dispute"); the generic son; the amatory tonada; and children's songs. The traditional Spanish villancicos have developed into many Christmas song genres, including the aguinaldo (carol), adoración, and coplas de Navidad (Christmas couplets). Iberian work song genres, particularly those associated with farming, found their suitable place in many Latin American rural communities. Types of ballads are the Mexican, Central American, and Chilean corrido; the Cuban punto guajiro (peasant song); and the coplas and romances of various nations. The vast repertory of the canción, found with many different regional names, tends to have a lyrical, romantic character.

By far the most numerous genres are combinations of song and dance. Nearly all of the major national genres follow this format. Examples are the son of Mexico and of Cuba, the merengue of the Dominican Republic, the plena of Puerto Rico, the bambuco of Colombia, the joropo of Venezuela, the pasillo of Ecuador, the huayno and marinera of Peru, the cueca of Bolivia and of Chile, the tango-canción of Argentina and its Uruguayan counterpart, and the samba of Brazil.

Mestizo musics of either Indian-Hispanic or Afro-Iberian traditions exhibit their own stylistic idiosyncrasies. For example, mestizo music of the Andean regions is strongly influenced by Quechua descending pentatonic melodies and by characteristic two-beat rhythmic patterns. Call-and-response patterns characterize Afro-Iberian styles; other aspects of those styles include syncopated melodies and accompaniments, driving rhythms, complex polyrhythmic textures, and extensive improvisation.

Although the indigenous cultures used numerous percussion and wind instruments, stringed instruments arrived with the colonists. The rich Iberian tradition of stringed instruments- guitar and guitarlike instruments, lute, mandolin, harp, and violin-spread rapidly through all of Latin America. Yet in practice these instruments respond to different aesthetic outlooks. In the Andean area, for example, the common charango is a lutelike or guitarlike instrument of five courses of multiple strings, frequently with a body made of an armadillo shell; it sounds quite differently among Indians, who use thin metal strings, and mestizos, who use nylon strings. The Spanish classical guitar and the Portuguese viola (a guitarlike instrument with five courses of double strings, as a rule) have become the characteristic folk instruments of Hispanic America and Brazil, respectively. The berimbau, a type of musical bow, probably of African origin, became the foundation of music for the Brazilian capoeira. Combinations of instruments in ensemble performance frequently integrate the tri-ethnic heritage, as, for example, in the Guatemalan ensemble of chirimía, marimba (of African origin), and Mayan drum ( tun or tunkul).

As mentioned above, Indian cultures throughout Latin America created numerous wind instruments, many of them flutes. Most of the flutes are single-pipe vertical flutes with either whistle-type (e.g., the pincollos of the Inca) or end-notched (e.g., the Andean quena) mouthpieces. Whistles and ocarinas are also found throughout Latin America. Folk and popular music traditions continue to use numerous types of panpipes (for example, the sicuris of the Aymara people, the antaras of the Quechua, and the zampoña of mestizo Andean musicians), with varying numbers of pipes in single or double rows. ( See flute for more-detailed descriptions of vertical flutes, ocarinas, whistles, and panpipes.) Natural trumpets (such as the clarín of indigenous Peruvians and the trutruka of the Mapuche of Argentina and Chile) also represent another native contribution to contemporary instrumentation.

Throughout the colonial period, European influences continued to be felt as more instruments and ensembles were introduced to Latin America. Single- and double-reed woodwinds-for example, the chirimía (a Spanish folk oboe)-appear in many countries and in various ensemble combinations. Military-style brass bands became popular in the 19th century and developed into the common town band ( banda del pueblo) used for civic occasions. Brass instruments and woodwinds are incorporated into various band arrangements among mestizo and Indian communities (as, for example, in the fiestas of the Purépecha of Michoacán, Mexico), as well as in a wide array of urban popular dance music. The European accordion, introduced in the second half of the 19th century, became an authentic folk and popular instrument in many Latin American and Caribbean genres, among them the Texan-Mexican conjunto, the Mexican norteño polka, the Colombian vallenato, the Brazilian baião and forró, and the Argentine cuarteto. The button accordion known as the bandoneón is one of the primary instruments of the tango of Argentina and Uruguay.

Latin American music is particularly characterized by its prominent use of percussion instruments. Each of the major traditions contributed percussion instruments that remained in common use. The indigenous cultures had slit drums, single-headed small drums, cup-shaped ceramic drums, double-headed drums (e.g., bombos), and a great variety of shaken rattles (maracas), scrapers, and stamping tubes.

Instruments of African derivation constitute the largest group of percussion instruments in Latin American use. Afro-Cuban religious music retains the batá drums of the Yoruba of Nigeria, as well as several types and sizes of conga drums (including the quinto drum of the rumba) and the larger tumbadora. In most Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Latin American traditional religions, drums are considered sacred instruments and undergo a rite of passage ("baptism") to sacralize them. Conga-type drums (cone-shaped) and barrel-shaped drums are found with regional names in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. Other typical drums include certain friction drums used in various folk and popular dance genres (e.g., Brazilian cuíca, Venezuelan furruco) and the bongos (two joined small drums of different sizes) of Cuba and Puerto Rico.

Many other percussion instruments are also of African origin. A large number of scrapers were adapted to regional use, including the Cuban güiro, Colombian carrasca, Brazilian reco-reco, and many others. These join with bells, stamping tubes, wood blocks, claves (hardwood sticks struck together), and various types of rattles to form part of numerous ensembles. A large and deep-sounding version of the African mbira or sansa ("thumb piano") is found in the Caribbean, where it is known as the marímbula. The marimba of southern Mexico, Guatemala, and other Central American countries, as well as the Pacific coastal region of Colombia, is of African origin and fulfills a solo or accompaniment function in specific local genres.

The most widespread European-derived percussion instruments are the bass drum, the snare drum, and various types of tambourines, such as the Brazilian adufo and the pandereta (both without jingles); the pandereta is especially significant in the Puerto Rican plena, a narrative song genre. The pipe and tabor combination in indigenous music making frequently consists of a large European type of bass drum and a small flute of Indian derivation.

The genres of Latin American and Caribbean urban popular music that developed in the 20th century incorporated musical instruments of all three traditions, most often European string, woodwind, brass, and keyboard melodic instruments supported by Indian or African-derived harmonic and rhythmic instruments.

Traditional Latin American music is often overlooked because of the attention people give to main rhythms and styles such as Salsa, Merengue, Tango and Latin Pop.

However, there are hundreds of traditional styles that are worth to get familiar with if one wants to get a better understanding of Latin American music. Let's take a look at some of the most important rhythms and styles that define Traditional Latin music.

Zamba and Murga from The South

Besides Tango, the southern part of South America is home to very interesting traditional music. Zamba is, in fact, the national dance in Argentina and Chile.

The sounds of Zamba are produced by a combination of guitars playing along the beats of a prominent drum named bombo leguero. By contrast, Murga is more of a popular musical theater played in Uruguay and Argentina during the Carnival.

Andean Music

As its name says it, Andean music was born in the extensive region crossed by the Andes. Because of this, Andean music is very popular in countries like Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador. This type of indigenous music is usually played with a set of different panpipes, charango (a small string instrument) and bombo (drums).

Choro and Sertaneja Music from Brazil

Choro and Sertaneja music are only two of the most popular forms of Traditional Latin American music coming from Brazil.

Choro developed in Rio de Janeiro during the 19th century. It became popular in the 1930s but it lost its appeal during the Bossa Nova boom. Choro is usually played with guitars, flute and cavaquinho, a combination that makes this style quite pleasant to the ear.

Sertaneja music is a traditional style equivalent to Country music in the US.

It is, indeed, quite popular in Brazil but not outside the country. Sertaneja has its origins in the sertao and caipira music, two traditional Brazilian music styles. In addition to Choro and Sertaneja, Brazil has many more traditional rhythms that include Maracatu, Afoxe, Frevo and Forro, among others.

Cumbia from Colombia

Cumbia is Colombia's most well known contribution to Traditional Latin American music. This rhythm was born in the Atlantic coast of the country during the 19th century. Cumbia offers a heavy percussion which is nicely combined with large gaita flutes. Despite being a Colombian rhythm, Cumbia has been extensively adopted as a musical expression in modern Mexican popular music.

Llanera Music from Colombia and Venezuela

Outside Colombia and Venezuela, very few are familiar with Musica Llanera, the music from the enormous area that includes the Colombian and Venezuelan plains above the Amazon. Llanera music takes inspiration from the country life in the plains and its rich sounds are produced by a standard combination of harp, string instruments (cuatro or bandola) and maracas.

Son and Danzon from Cuba

Cuba is by far one of the most influential countries in the making of Latin American music.

It is also a land where we can find some of the most popular expressions of Traditional Latin music. Cuban Son, which was born in the Cuban country side, was originally played with guitars and percussion instruments such as clave and maracas. Cuban Son is, in fact, an essential ingredient of that musical mix we refer to as Salsa.

Danzon is one of those rhythms from which you can perceive a perfect combination of European sounds and African influences. It evolved from previous styles that included contradanza and habanera. This is definitely one of the most pleasant rhythms of Cuban music.

Plena and Bomba from Puerto Rico

Similarly to Cuban Son, the origins or Puerto Rican Bomba and Plena are also linked to country life. Both rhythms are heavily charged with African influences. Because of this, drums play a major role in the sounds of Bomba and Plena.

While Bomba surged in northern Puerto Rico, Plena evolved in the southern, coastal part of the country.

Ranchera and Sones from Mexico

Overall, Ranchera is one of the most popular styles of Traditional Latin American music. It was originally played by a single guitar player but later became closely related to a full Mariachi band. During the troubling times of the Mexican Revolution, Ranchera music became a way to promote Mexican culture.

Nevertheless, two centuries before Ranchera, Mexico had developed its own Son, which was influenced by indigenous elements as well as African and Spanish traditions. Mexican Son was not a fixed rhythm but rather a flexible musical style whose sounds were heavily shaped by the different regions where it used to be played.

Besides Mexican Son and all the musical forms mentioned in this article, there is an amazing range of Traditional Latin music styles throughout Latin America. Each individual country in the region has nurtured Latin American music with its own contribution. This article is just an introduction for all of those who want to venture further in the rich universe of Traditional Latin music.
