Latin American music, sometimes simply called Latin music, includes the music of all countries in
Latin America and comes in many varieties, from the simple, rural
conjunto music of northern
Mexico to the sophisticated
habanera of
Cuba, from the symphonies of
Heitor Villa-Lobos to the simple and moving
Andean flute. Music has played an important part in
Latin America's turbulent recent history, for example the
nueva canción movement. Latin music is very diverse, with the only truly unifying thread being the use of Latin languages, predominately the
Spanish language, the
Portuguese language in
Brazil, and to a lesser extent, Latin-derived
creole languages such as that found in
Haiti.
