Latin & Caribbean Latin music, dance, and entertainment are a fusion of the modern West Coast Latino/Celtic music from Spain and the traditional sounds of Africa, the Caribbean, and Spain. Latin & Caribbean music mixes traditional instruments like the guiro, the maracas, mallet, and congas with modern instruments like the electric guitar and the steel guitar. In this modern age of big band and rap, it is interesting to think that these instruments are still in use in some parts of the world. Some artists that have been making an impact on Latin music through their instrument skills include Carlos Santana, Los Cabos Los Angeles, Joanna Newsom, and many others. The Latin/Caribbean music scene continues to evolve and change as more young people discover this exciting genre..
