"A quick Internet search reveals that Latin America refers to the lands colonised by the French, Spanish and Portuguese during the maritime Age of Discovery of the new World by Christopher Columbus and others around 1492.

The distinction from other American colonies of the Dutch and British was first made only in the 19th century, using the differences in the predominance of Latin in the languages of these powers, possibly to keep the distance between Protestant and Catholic countries nice and sharp.

Latin American music came about with the introduction of slavery, where Africans were brought against their will to work the plantations and elsewhere in the new colonies, and even if they were deprived of their drums, they brought with them the rhythms central to their cultures.

From these dismal beginnings of colonialism, many wonderful fusions emerged, where African rhythm fused with European languages and cultures to create many styles of so-called Latin American music. With the advent of freedom and independence this music kept developing, and with modern technologies, like the radio and recordings, spread back around the world creating dance crazes, pop music movements, even Herb Alpert and the Tijuana brass. Famous amongst these are the cha cha, the tango, the conga, salsa, samba, bossa nova, and merengue."
