What is Latin House?

Latin House is a fiery blend of house music and Latin rhythms, infused with the passion, energy, and temperament of Latin America. The genre combines classic house beats with elements of salsa, merengue, bachata, samba, and other traditional dance styles.

Sound Features

You can recognize Latin House by:

• rich percussion sections,

• live Latin instruments (congas, bongos, timbales),

• melodic vocal inserts in Spanish or Portuguese,

• an energetic, hypnotic groove.

The tempo of tracks usually ranges between 120–130 BPM, creating the perfect atmosphere for dancefloors.

History of the Genre

Latin House began gaining popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when DJs in the US, especially in Chicago, New York, and Miami, started mixing house music with Latin American rhythms. Among the first pioneers of the genre were:

• Louie Vega (part of the Masters At Work project),

• DJ Sneak,

• Armand Van Helden.

They laid the foundation for a sound that later became a trademark of clubs from New York to Rio de Janeiro.

Modern Latin House Artists

Today the genre is thriving, with leading artists including:

• Purple Disco Machine (with Latin-inspired influences),

• Vintage Culture,

• Dennis Cruz,
