\n\tYou know what they say: new year, new music! In celebration of 2024\u2019s arrival, the Billboard<\/em> Latin and Billboard Espa\u00f1ol<\/em> teams have predicted some of the Latin music trends that we believe will take off this year based on their momentum from 2023.<\/p>\n \n\tLast year, we reached out to various hitmakers such as Edgar Barrera, MAG and Ovy on the Drums, who all shared their predictions for 2023.<\/p>\n \n\tMAG, known for producing bangers for Bad Bunny, said it best: \u201cI love that we\u2019re seeing the global expansion of several Latin music subgenres other than just reggaet\u00f3n. It\u2019s exciting to see bachata and regional Mexican music growing outside of their rooted territories.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tWith the massive success of artists like Peso Pluma, Fuerza Regida, Carin Le\u00f3n and Grupo Frontera, to name a few, it\u2019s evident that M\u00fasica Mexicana <\/em>dominated 2023, over any other Latin genre.<\/p>\n \n\tFor Barrera, this is due to \u201cbeing raw and authentic, being true to their sound and not trying to chase whatever is working for someone else,\u201d he previously told Billboard<\/em><\/a> about Mexican music expanding to new markets outside of Latin America.<\/p>\n \n\tLike the growth of Regional Mexican music, Emiliano Vasquez, A&R at Sony Music Latin, predicted a growth in bachata music for 2023\u2014and he was right. \u201cBachata is becoming more popular as it merges with different musical genres, such as R&B, pop, electronica, hip-hop and trap. It is very common to see pop and urban artists recording bachata in their promotional singles and achieving great acceptance, even without originally being bachateros,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \n\tThat same year, many urban and pop acts unleashed bachata tunes<\/a> including Maria Becerra & Enrique Iglesias, Sofia Reyes & Beele, and Chayanne.<\/p>\n \n\tWhich Latin music trends should we be looking out for this year?
