As with so much of the globe, many pop/rock musicians in Spain and Latin America (as well as Latino players in the U.S.) merely imitated their Anglo-American counterparts from the '50s through the '70s.
That started to change during the '80s, when musicians across Spain, Latin America, and the United States — raised on rock and ranchera, beatbox and bolero — began mixing it all up and singing about things that mattered to them, in Spanish — global commercialism be damned.
The latter disc is more of a historical sampler of the genre, though compiler Ruben Guevara keeps things on the punk and political end of the spectrum.

  Latin pop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Latin Pop (Pop Latino, in Spanish) is pop music from Latin America, Spain, Portugal, and Hispanic-American artists who sing in Spanish.
The second one mixes pop with a wide variety of Latin American or Iberian rhythms such as salsa, samba, cumbia, norteña, merengue, banda, tex-mex, flamenco, tango, reggaeton, vallenato, and reggae.
Latin Pop first reached a global audience through the work of vocalist Ritchie Valens in the late 1950s; in later decades, crooner Julio Iglesias, the versatile Gloria Estefan, and the revolving-door teen idol group Menudo carried the style forward.

 Latin America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Latin America is distinct from Anglo-America, a region of the Americas where English, a Germanic language, predominates.
Latin American literature gained its own identity, evolving from the strong European and, at a later stage, Anglo-American influences, and is very recognisable internationally, including renowned Nobel Prize winners such as the Colombian Gabriel García Márquez (One Hundred Years of Solitude), Mexican Octavio Paz (The Labyrinth of Solitude), Chileans Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda.
Latin pop, including many forms of rock, is popular in Latin America today (see Spanish language rock and roll).

 Pop music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The expression "pop music" may also be used to refer to particular subgenres (within the pop music genre) that are in some cases referred to as soft rock and pop/rock.
The average consumer of pop music is often understood to be in his or her teenage years, making it an important mediator of youth culture.
Partly because youth culture itself is an object of social concern, pop music has historically been he source of numerous moral panics, especially as many of the styles that influence it trickle up from minority groups (racial, ethnic, sexual or class-based) about which the dominant class holds negative stereotypes.

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.
Jon Secada landed several pop hits during the mid-'90s, and Tejano pop star Selena's album Dreaming of You actually debuted at number one on the album charts upon its 1995 release (although, sadly, her success was posthumous).
