Ever wondered how Latin music became a global sensation? From the 1800s Cuban habanera rhythms sneaking into American jazz to the explosion of Afro-Cuban jazz in the 1940s, Latin music has shaped the U.S. music scene for over a century. The 1950s mambo madness lit up New York, with icons like Tito Puente and Perez Prado making crowds dance all night. By the 1970s, salsa reigned supreme, led by Celia Cruz and Fania Records. Then the 1990s saw Ricky Martin and Selena ignite the Latin Pop Explosion, and in the 2000s, Daddy Yankee's "Gasolina" and Luis Fonsi's "Despacito" shattered records worldwide.
