Description: Music has played an important part recently in Latin America's
politics, the nueva canción movement being a prime example. Latin music is very
diverse, with the only truly unifying thread being the use of Latin-derived
languages, predominately the Spanish language, the Portuguese language in
Brazil, and to a lesser extent, Latin-derived creole languages such as those
found in Haiti.

Article Content:
The many cultures of South and Central America and the Caribbean islands blend
American Indian, African and European (particularly Spanish and Portuguese)
traditions. In folk music, the particular combination of elements varies from
region to region, from the purely Indian forms of highland Bolivia and Amazon
rain forests peoples to the mestizo ('mixed') music of Bolivia, Peru and
Ecuador, the largely Hispanic music of Argentina, and the distinctive style of
Brazil, which blends African and Portuguese forms. Minorities such as the East
Indians of Trinidad and Guyana, the Javanese of Surinam and the Japanese of
Brazil complete this rich musical scenario.
Less Iberian heritage has in general been preserved in Latin America than
British in North America; many areas are devoid of Latin influence. But some
Hispanic poetic forms dating from the Middle Ages and Renaissance (for example
the romance) are performed in a variety of forms throughout the continent, such
as the copla of Colombia, the Andean countries and Argentina. Other folksongs,
such as the Argentinian and Chilean Tonadas and Tonos, also preserve old
Spanish literary forms. In contrast to the thriving Anglo-American tune
repertory of the USA, however, few extant Iberian melodies are current in Latin
America except the Hispanic children's repertory, which is similar in its Old
and New World settings. In the Andean region of Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador,
indigenous Indian music has absorbed Spanish elements, a process that began
under the influence of 16th-century Christian missionaries. Andean tunes are
essentially European, but often have much
repetition and use tetratonic and pentatonic scales. This blend stands in
contrast with the marked lack of acculturation between Anglo and Indian style
in North America.
Music has played an important part recently in Latin America's politics, the
nueva canción movement being a prime example. Latin music is very diverse, with
the only truly unifying thread being the use of Latin-derived languages,
predominately the Spanish language, the Portuguese language in Brazil, and to a
lesser extent, Latin-derived creole languages such as those found in Haiti.
Although Spain and Portugal are not part of Latin America, Spanish music and
Portuguese music are strongly cross-influenced with Latin music.
Latino music now become famous in the world you can see Jennifer Lopez, a
Popular Latin American singer or Shakira, a famous Colombian Latin pop singer
and dancer, both of them now introduce modern Latin music and many people like
