Anchors rather than an exhaustive canon — if your track sits near these, this is probably the right label.

Usual tempo 95–130 BPM. Sitting outside that range does not disqualify a track; it just makes the tells matter more.

Easy to confuse with

The nearest neighbours in Latin, by tempo. If Latin Pop does not quite fit, one of these usually does.

  • Salsa / Tropical150–250 BPM

    Live Afro-Cuban dance music — clave-driven percussion, piano montuno patterns, horn sections and call-and-response vocals.
