List Of Best-selling Latin Albums
This is a list of the world's best-selling Latin albums of recorded music. "Latin music" has different meanings in the music industry. For example, the Latin music market in the United States defines Latin music as any release sung mostly in Spanish regardless of genre or artist nationality by organizations like the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and ''Billboard'', while international organizations and trade groups such as the Latin Recording Academy includes Portuguese-language music. As a musical genre, music journalists as well as musicologists defines Latin music as musical styles from Spanish-speaking areas of Latin America as well as Spain under the Latin music umbrella, while music from Brazil is also usually included and occasionally Portugal. As a result of the conflicting views of defining Latin music, the list includes Latin albums defined either by language or genre. Therefore, for an album to appear on the list, the figure must have been published ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dominique Perrier
Space Art is a French electronic music duo consisting of Dominique Perrier on keyboards and late French drummer Roger "Bunny" Rizzitelli. The band had its main commercial success between 1977 and 1981. History Formation In 1974, Dominique Perrier had been working as an arranger with Christophe, for whom Roger "Bunny" Rizzitelli had been drumming. Christophe brought an ARP Odyssey synthesizer, which was used mainly as a metronome, into the studio. Christophe then lent the synthesizer to Perrier for two years, during which time the band was born. According to Perrier, he originally preferred to name the band Moon but, after a trip to a funfair, Rizzitelli suggested an alternative; one of the fair attractions had been named after Spessart, the German mountain range. This then morphed into Space Art, which sounded better to them both. Career They released three albums between 1977 and 1980, selling three million units worldwide and achieving number one status in France. All three a ...

Rumba Catalana
The Catalan rumba ( ca, rumba catalana, ) is a genre of music that developed in Barcelona's Romani community beginning in the 1950s and 1960s. Its rhythms are derived from the Andalusian flamenco rumba, with influences from Cuban music and rock and roll. The Catalan rumba originated in the Romani communities in the Gràcia, ''carrer (street) de la Cera del Raval'' and Hostafrancs neighborhoods. The Romani community in those neighborhoods is long-established and bilingual in Catalan and were influenced by the heavy Andalusian immigration to Barcelona during this period. The genre is based in a fusion of Catalan-Andalusian flamenco singing and the Afro-Cuban claves. It is in time, and consists of vocalists and handclaps, accompanied by guitar, bongos, and güiro; later groups also incorporate timbales, conga drums, small percussion instruments, piano, wind instruments, electric bass, and electric keyboard. Among the most important early artists in the genre were Antonio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
