Latin American Folk

Latin American folk music is a rich and diverse genre that reflects the cultural heritage of the region, blending indigenous, African, and European influences. It features a variety of traditional instruments such as the cuatro, charango, berimbau, and harp, creating distinct sounds across countries. Rhythms range from the driving beats of Colombian cumbia to the melancholic melodies of Argentinian folk. Often rooted in storytelling, the lyrics explore themes of love, struggle, and daily life. The genre incorporates elements of ritual music, poetic songcraft, and rural traditions, preserving history while evolving with contemporary expressions.
