By 1975, music market analysts predicted an 8 to 10% growth of Latin music internationally.[1] This growth also expanded into the United States which led to record labels of promoting Latin artists in the country.

Salsa music was the dominant genre in the tropical field in the 1970s. Fania Records was the prime record label for popularizing and defining salsa music with artists such as Celia Cruz, Rubén Blades, Héctor Lavoe, and Willie Colón.[9] The Colombian vallenato remains popular in the country with artists such as Diomedes Diaz.[10] Likewise, the country's cumbia expanded its popularity outside of country into other Latin American nations including Mexico. Like its Mexican counterpart, the Colombia cumbia saw changes in the genre with the use of a bass guitar, organ, and less emphasis on brass instruments.[11]

Brazilian/Portuguese

Jorge Ben's Fôrça BrutaШаблон:'s fusion of Trio Mocotó's groove and Ben's more rockish guitar proved to be a distinctive feature of what critics and musicians later called samba rock.[12] The 1970s also saw the rise of Música popular brasileira, a form of protest songs against the Brazilian military dictatorship. Among the key musicians in the genre was Chico Buarque who was exiled from the country.[13]
