What is latin freestlye?

Latin freestyle is a genre of electronic music that emerged in the early 1980s in the United States, particularly in cities with large Hispanic populations such as New York City and Miami. It is characterized by its blend of freestyle, pop, and electronic dance music, as well as its use of Latin rhythms and influences.

Some key features of Latin freestyle music include catchy hooks and melodies, synthesized instrumentation, prominent drum machines, and heartfelt lyrics often dealing with themes of love, relationships, and heartbreak. Artists in the genre often use a combination of English and Spanish lyrics in their songs.

Latin freestyle gained popularity in the mid-to-late 1980s, with artists such as Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Stevie B, Exposé, and Shannon achieving commercial success and reaching the top of the music charts. However, the genre began to decline in the early 1990s as new styles of music emerged.

Despite its decline in mainstream popularity, Latin freestyle has maintained a dedicated fan base and continues to be celebrated in clubs, on the radio, and at dance parties. The music continues to influence contemporary artists and remains a nostalgic favorite for many fans of 80s and 90s music.
