Latin is home to musical styles such as the simple, rural conjunto music of northern Mexico, the sophisticated hanbenra of Cuba, the rhythmic sounds of the Puerto Rican plean, the symphonies of Heitor Villa-Lobos, and the simple and moving Andean flute.

Latin music is very diverse, with the only truly unifying thread being the use of Latin-derived languages, predominantly the Spanish language, the Portuguese language in Brazil, and to a lesser extent, Latin-derived creole languages.
