I recently received a request for more information on Ivy Queen, the female reggaeton artist. In a musical genre dominated by men, Ivy Queen has achieved recognition in the form of music awards and hit songs that have reached the top of the Latin music charts.

Stay tuned for an article on Ivy Queen this month on the Latin music site. I will also be featuring other female recording artists who are making a name for themselves in a male-dominated industry.

Feel free to post here with any other female - or male - Latin music artists that you are interested in learning more about.

I love listening Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias.Both r just awesome.

Enrique is just aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesome singer.Shakira and Ricky martin is also in my list.

Theodoro Reyes is a great bachata singer. Bachata is a style of music that is very popular in the Dominican Republic, and is now getting alot of radio play in my city. Does anyone else know about this style of music?

In answer to several requests, this week's article is on Latin pop sensation Ricky Martin. Enjoy!

And Ms. D, bachata is absolutely beautiful music! It is one of my favorites. You can read an overview of the music and the dance here. You can also listen to bachata music here. And keep checking back for more articles on today's best bachata artists and bands. Do you dance bachata as well, Ms. D?

I will check out the link that you posted Karin. Oh yes I love it, and I dance it. It's the R&B of latin music. My mom taught me how to dance this style of music when I was a little girl. I am from miami,and I live in an area where there are mostly dominicans, so I hear it all the time.

Are Gipsy Kings considered Latin? They are really good.

The Spanish and their music helped the Latin American music to originate. since its birth, the music has always ruled the hearts of the people and for this we must thank all the great artists like Elda Cerrato, Ivan Serpa, Manuel Gregorio Acosta, Esteban Villa, Jonathan Cadavid, Amelia Peláez etc.
