	Music of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The music of the United States can be characterized by the use of syncopation and asymmetrical rhythms, long, irregular melodies, which are said to "reflect the wide open geography of (the American landscape)" and the "sense of personal freedom characteristic of American life".
		Instead, the music of the United States is that of dozens or hundreds of indigenous and immigrant groups, all of which developed largely in regional isolation until the American Civil War, when people from across the country were brought together in army units, trading musical styles and practices.
		Elements of foreign musics arrived in the United States both through the formal sponsorship of educational and outreach events by individuals and groups, and through informal processes, as in the incidental transplantation of West African music through slavery, and Irish music through immigration.

	Latin music in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was common in dance halls in the 30s and 40s for a Latin orchestra, such as that of Vincent López, to alternate with a big band because dancers insisted on it.
		Latin music was extremely popular with dancers, not only the samba, paso doble, rumba, and mambo, but even the conga.
		While Latin music has been popular for many years, its current popularity in the mainstream may have come only after the untimely death of the popular Tex Mex singer Selena.

		Latin Pop became the most popular form of Latin music in the United States during the '80s and '90s, even achieving massive crossover success among non-Latino listeners during the late '90s.
		Latin pop's first major crossover star was Gloria Estefan, who scored a succession of non-club-oriented dance-pop hits during the mid- to late '80s, but who eventually became known more as an adult contemporary diva with an affinity for sweeping ballads.
		Trova music actually encompassed a variety of native Cuban song forms and rhythms, including the guaracha, the punto, the habanera, the rumba, the son, the clave, and the Latin American bolero, as well as a melodic influence from European opera.

		At the center of his music is all the passion and expression of a Latin artist, yet Miguel Bosé has constantly incorporated more diverse musical elements than many of the genre's crossover pop stars.
		As one of the biggest new stars to emerge during the mid-'80s, singer Gloria Estefan predated the coming Latin pop explosion by a decade, scoring a series of propulsive dance hits rooted in the rhythms of her native Cuba before shifting her focus to softer, more ballad-oriented fare.
		As Latin pop made new commercial headway thanks to the efforts of acts like Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias, Estefan reigned as the most successful crossover artist in Latin music history, with international record sales close to the 50 million mark.

	Cienfuegos Austin Tx Cuban Son Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		This is not a surprising revelation as this wonderful music has been inaccesible to the general public of the United States since the late sixties, due to the unfortunate imposition of trade embargos and financial penalties for unapproved transactions with Cuba.
		These, and other aspects of Cuban Son, qualify it as the folk music of Cuba, and beg the respect of listeners to view it in its own right, not thrown into the Salsa basket, which unfortunately is often the case.
		This clarification is not meant to diminish Salsa or any other Latin music form, but rather, we wish it to be enlightening to those who are unfamiliar with the sources of Latin song, and hope that a deeper knowledge of the music will help our listeners develop a lasting connection with this fantastic genre.

	Beyond The Latin Tinge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Come to think of it, Latin jazz as we know it emerged in the 1940s through the efforts of musicians such as Mario Bauzá and Dizzy Gillespie but W.C. Handy's classic "St. Louis Blues," featuring a mix of blues and tango, was published in 1916.
		Similarly, one of the musical phenomenons of the '90s was the extraordinary success of Ry Cooder's Buena Vista Social Club, an album of old songs and traditional popular Cuban styles, recorded in Havana and featuring a multigenerational group of Cuban musicians, some of them music veterans nearly forgotten even in Cuba.
		In fact, the irony is that, for all the achievements of the Ricky Martins and Jennifer Lópezes, the great success of Latin music in the United States is that we no longer think of it as other people's music.

		LOS ANGELES — While there was a lot of territory to cover, geographically and musically, in a relatively brief period of time, the performances of the 1st Annual Latin Grammys offered a tasty sampler of the wide variety of styles in the Latin music world.
		Puente and Martin are the bookends of 50 years of Latin music in the United States.
		Perhaps the showstopper was Colombian singer Shakira's performance in “Ojos Así.” In a night in which she won two Grammys she not only offered a solid vocal performance but included in her set dancers, fire and special effects.
