@ AJona1992: I was thinking about how this article could be improved. Some sections I've been thinking are the terminology which talks about the different definitions of "Latin music" and why only Spanish and Portuguese-languages are the only ones included despite French, Italian, and Romanian also being Romance-speaking languages. The history could be about the Latin American immigrants in the US and how music of Spain has crossed over into Latin radio stations. We could add a Criticism section if there are sources criticizing "Latin music" excluding other Romance-speaking languages or how "Latin music" tends to be a confusing term. Thoughts?

Here are some genres and other tidbits that should be covered by decade:
That's all I've got for now. I don't know where ranchera and norteño would fit to. Erick ( talk) 17:56, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
I'd like to suggest small edit to the intro description,
"Latin music (música latina in Spanish and Portuguese) is a genre that is used by the music industry as a catch-all term for any music that comes from Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking areas of the world (including Spain and sometimes Portugal), as well as music sung in either language."
Rather than saying "Latin music is a genre by the music industry", it would be more appropriate for grammatical and description purposes to simply refer to Latin music as a catch-all term used in the music industry for any music coming from Latin America regardless of national origin. To my knowledge Portuguese and Spanish music in Europe i snot generally referred to as "Latin". I also noticed there is only an english language article on wikipedia, so someone might want to look into that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mepersondudeman ( talk • contribs) 18:58, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
This is kind of subpar mediocrity that needs to be provisioned by wikipedia, there needs to be a clause. Specially when it comes to non western , non anglo cultural expressions, sources do not do justice at ALL to the material, This is a big problem Gatomorado ( talk) 22:38, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
I guess western music is a genre too then, This kind of anglocentrism is what makes wikipedia cringe and its cultural articles so assbackwards, because many times the sources have no idea what they are talking about. While the people who are hands on have no voice or dont get considered Gatomorado ( talk) 21:58, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
I don't understand the logic behind this article, it's very ignorant to consider Spain and Portugal (both European countries) as Latin-American countries. If this article will be about Latin-America plus Spain and Portugal it should be renamed as Iberoamerican music, otherwise is ignorant and misleading. JaimeDes ( talk) 04:11, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
