Latin America, with its rich and varied cultural heritage, is a region widely known by its diverse musical rhythms. Indeed, music and dance constitute an important part of Latin American cultural assets and identity.2 Some of these rhythms, although famous worldwide, belong to specific regions; for example, samba is from Brazil, tango is from Argentina, merengue is from the Dominican Republic, corrido is from Mexico and vallenato is from Colombia, among many other examples. Most of them were created by the cultural interaction between people from African, Native American, and European cultures that shared their music and instruments. Those heterogeneous cultural characteristics made these music styles appealing to an international audience.
