I've noticed there's a lot of latino music on the spotify Top 50 Global playlist lately.

Norteno, conjunto....that stuff has been extremely popular here in TX for a long time. I enjoy the very tight brass sections and the accordion. Sometimes the casio keyboard sounds grate on me a little but the more traditional music is very festive and enjoyable. I see Prevost buses with Mexican license plates touring here along I-35 pretty frequently so it must be generating a good deal of money.

Korean music also. K-Pop has become huge all over the world, for the past 5 or 10 years. It's no longer just the US and UK.

If we are talking Mexican music, time to plug Natalia Lafourcade, who has basically become my favorite current artist.

Have heard this woman a bit before. Outstanding. Completely different from the stuff I hear on the radio here but the rhythm has a similar flavor. Most Mexicans here are from northern reaches. Maybe im off base but this strikes me more as having more of the Carib flavor you hear out of Cuba and similar places. Has kind of an island feel. Shes from veracruz area....Great stuff. I completely understand why you enjoy it. I am kind of loud and brash with my music so I very often listen to more mellow stuff like this on my personal listening time. Thanks for sharing.
