'''Latin pop''' ('''Pop Latino''', in [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[Italian language|Italian]] and [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], '''Pop Latine''' in [[French language|French]]) generally refers to [[pop music]] that has what may be perceived a [[Latin America]]n influence. Geographically, it could refer to pop music from [[Latin America]] or sung by [[Latin Americans]], generally regarded as [[Hispanics]] in the [[United States]].<ref name="allmusic.com">http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=73:4300</ref>
Occasionally, the definition extends to [[Latin Europe]], primarily Spain and Portugal, though Italy is often included. Latin pop music is usually sung in Spanish or other [[Romance languages]], although English and other languages are not uncommon. In addition, many international artists from France and Italy often sing in Spanish for Spanish language audiences.
Major Latin pop songwriters include [[Estefano]], [[Kike Santander]], [[Juan Luis Guerra]] and [[Robi Draco Rosa]].<ref>http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0261555/</ref><ref>http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0763362/</ref><ref>http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0787680/</ref><ref>http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1257075/</ref><ref>http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0740875/</ref>
==Latin pop music==
There are two main variants. The first one is regular pop performed in the [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[Spanglish]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] or [[English language|English]] for international audiences. The second one mixes pop with a wide variety of Latin American or Iberian rhythms such as [[salsa music|salsa]], [[samba]], [[cumbia]], [[norteña]], [[Merengue music|merengue]], [[banda music|banda]], [[Tejano music|tex-mex]], [[flamenco]], [[tango music|tango]], [[reggaeton]], [[vallenato]], and [[reggae]].<ref name="allmusic.com"/>
==Latin pop artists==
Latin pop is usually marked by polished productions while incorporating unobtrusive Latin rhythms and instrumentation into tracks. Latin pop first reached a global audience through the work of vocalist [[Ritchie Valens]] in the late 1950s; in later decades, [[Julio Iglesias]], the versatile [[Gloria Estefan]], the [[Mexican]] idol [[Luis Miguel]] and the boy band [[Menudo (band)|Menudo]] carried the style forward.<ref>http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:3xfixq95ldke</ref> Since the late 1990s, Latin pop and songs with significant Latin pop influences have achieved mainstream success in the United States and worldwide.
