You are right. Bahamas is not part of Latin America, but the music in this poll can also have Latin American influences, and while Exuma is quite unique and from the Bahamas, his music arguably does have Latin American influence from Caribbean island music, such as calypso and reggae. 

Well, I admit I forgot the Bahamas exception (while I remembered French and Dutch Guyana). But anyway,

I agree with Logan and mathman0806. Many types of Caribbean folk have African influences.

In fact, I've suggested the opening of a new genre of prog: Afro-Latin American jazz-rock/fusion.


Jamaica is also not part of Latin America, being the third most populous English-speaking country in the Americas. Haiti, where a French creole is spoken, would qualify as Latin America, though the African influence is probably stronger. The Caribbean is a world of its own in terms of cultural influences.

Mathman0806 the next interactive poll is yours!

10) MACHINEMESSIAH - Los prisonieros. Strange punk-pop music, are they the Green Day of Chile? It's a curious sound. & AMOR AMERICANO.

They were an iconic 80's and 90's band here in Chile..  admirers of The Clash when they started, though their music then went elsewhere..  Yes, a bit of punk, pop, etc.  I thought it funny to post that raw vid that shows Santiago..   their first videos were like that.

All those bands around here are broadly classified as 'rock latino' (latin rock). Here's another, that I think is the most neat..  if you like 80's music..  the best, most well-known of the bunch (IMO)..  Soda Stereo..  sort of an Argentinian 'The Police' trio..  (not quite, but to give you an idea)  with frontman and guitarist,  the great great Gustavo Cerati  that then went to a solo career..   mostly pop, but good one!  (Did a search here at PA and was fairly surprised to find only 4 or 5 mentions of him).


This is Soda Stereo with Andrea Echeverry somewhere in the 90's with a slowed-down version of an 80's Soda Stereo song, 'En la Ciudad de la Furia':



And this is Sumo, also from Argentina:



Checked the 3 vids. you posted;  nice and upbringing!
