Music of Argentina |
 | | A very important part of recent and contemporary Argentine music, originally derived from the Colombian cumbia, adopted by the lower classes in the bailantas, widespread in the 1990s, and then turning more aggressive and explicit in the 2000s with "shanty town cumbia" (cumbia villera). |
| | Cuarteto, or Cuartetazo, is a form of dance music similar to Merengue. |
| | It became popular in Argentina during the 1940s, beginning with the genre's namesake and innovator, Cuarteto Leo, and was re-popularized in the 1980s, specially in Córdoba. |
