The story of Latin music is a long and complex one that takes place over many centuries. It involves the music of West Africa and the indigenous populations of the Americas, the Spanish and Portuguese conquest of America, the transatlantic slave trade, and much more besides.
Generally, “Latin music” refers to music created by people from the Spanish and Portuguese speaking areas of the world: Ibero-America and the Iberian Peninsula. As New York producer and recording artist Doug Gomez, a New Yorker with Colombian roots with a back catalogue containing many huge Afro-House records says “The roots of Latin music are a combination of African, European and indigenous music within Latin America. From Cumbia to Salsa to Merengue and everything in between.” So Latin music encompasses Bossa Nova, Samba, Rumba, Beguine, Mambo, Merengue, Tango, and Reggaeton, yet has also had an indelible influence on house.
What unites all these genres is rhythmic complexity — a defining characteristic of Latin music. Layers of interlocking, syncopated percussion played on instruments like the bongos, timbales, congas, claves, cowbells, shakers, maracas, and the Güiro make Latin rhythms so devastatingly effective on the dance floor. Which didn’t go unnoticed by dance music producers, starting in the early ‘70s.
