Latin music

The Latin music (or latino ) does not indicate a Musical genre sui generis, but rather a style of music which includes various rates/rhythms and musics of Latin America and of the the Antilles Hispanophone S.

Ambiguity of the expression

This Néologisme of origin states-unien lets believe that there exists a kind of music particular to the worldwide in the south of the United States, which incluerait at the same time traditional musics, métissées musics and songs of variety or Pop-rock'n'roll interpreted by artists local or originating in these countries.

Enough fuzzy, the concept of Latin music extends sometimes to the music from Spain (and often also of Italy), but in general excludes the musics from the others Latin countries of Europe which, however, deserve this qualifier as much that the Spanish-speaking musics.

In addition, the expression " music latine" also indicate Andean musics (thus primarily of pre-Hispanic origin) and musics " tropicales", whose rates/rhythms are not " latins" but primarily of African origin, like the music jamaïcaine, music of Trinidad (Calypso/Soca), and the creole music of Haiti, Guadeloupe or Martinique.

For the radio and a broad part of the " large public" , the " music latine" is primarily that of these artists, but in the record dealers, it can gather other kinds in vogue or traditional musics more . Certain stores, including on Internet, propose specific rays or vats for certain particular kinds of Latin music (Salsa, Tango, music Brésil ienne, Andean music, etc), and gather all the remainder in a vat or a ray " music latine".
