Latin American influences
South-of-border impacts
The cultural, artistic, musical, and social contributions from Latin America that have shaped other regions and traditions.
In music, Latin American influences include rhythms like salsa, bossa nova, and reggaeton that have permeated global pop.
In food, art, literature, and fashion, these influences reflect the hybrid heritage of indigenous, European, and African traditions: The chef's menu shows strong Latin American influences.
The phrase often appears in discussions of how Latin American styles blend with or transform other cultural forms.
