I'd had the chart private for a couple years now because I wasn't happy with it (particularly how Brazil-centric it was... nearly 50% of the entries were from one country) but I think I've compiled something a bit more presentable here. I'm nowhere close to an expert on Latin America— there's so much to dive into I doubt even those who study the region's music aren't still missing swathes— from the Andes to Havana to Ipanema, the geographic scope is massive, but I'm hoping this updates rounds it out more than before.
Charanga, samba, bolero, bossa nova, joropo, salsa, tango, cha-cha, folk, huayno, tropicalia, reggaeton, MBP, choro, cumbia, mariachi, mambo, jazz, baião, ranchera, tonada, cueca, rumba, filin, merengue— least one record of all those genres on there. I hope some users appreciate how unique some of the records on this chart are, and not just dismiss the list as a bucketful of samba and bossa nova— there's very little out there that sounds like huayno (Luzmila Carpio, Kjarkas, Los Jairas) or Venezuelan joropo, mariachi, cumbia— they're all their own thing.
Go dance.
Go cry.
Fall in love.
Have a drink.
If you would like a complimentary poet-paring with your selection, I can supply that too. There's some good ones. _________________ Doubles & Conch
I haven't had an overall 100 chart in probably 8 years or so, well this holiday season I did my best to throw one together. I'm not overly happy with it because it can create discrepancies with my other charts but whatever, it'll never be perfect I suppose.
I don't have as much time to dig through music as I used to so I figured an overall could be a good way to show what I'm most into.
