Latin pop

Latin pop (Spanish: pop latino), also referred to as Spanish-language pop (Spanish: pop en español) or Portuguese-language pop (Portuguese: pop em português), is a subgenre of popular music defined primarily as pop music performed in Spanish or Portuguese. While its foundation lies in the structural and commercial conventions of international pop music—memorable melodies, rhythmic regularity, electric instrumentation, and broad appeal—it is often enriched by stylistic influences from Latin American and Iberian musical traditions. Emerging from Spanish-speaking musicians, Latin pop remains distinct from other Latin genres such as rock en español, tropical, reggaeton, and dance, though it may incorporate elements of these styles. In this sense, the fusion with Latin or Hispanic folk genres is characteristic but secondary to its central definition as pop music in Spanish.
