Identify my track- voice and acoustic guitar
- poetic Spanish lyrics
- intimate, unadorned delivery
- bolero or son rhythms
Anchors rather than an exhaustive canon — if your track sits near these, this is probably the right label.
Usual tempo 60–120 BPM. Sitting outside that range does not disqualify a track; it just makes the tells matter more.
The nearest neighbours in Latin, by tempo. If Trova does not quite fit, one of these usually does.
- Regional Mexican90–200 BPM
Mexican regional traditions — banda brass bands, accordion-led norteño and mariachi. Tuba bass, brass or accordion leads and big, emotional vocals.
- Xote / Forró90–140 BPM
Dance music from north-east Brazil. Accordion, zabumba drum and triangle in a swinging two-step; xote is the slower, swaying rhythm within it.
- Latin Pop95–130 BPM
Pop structure and production with Latin rhythmic and instrumental colour, usually sung in Spanish or Portuguese.
- Cumbia85–110 BPM
Colombian-born dance rhythm heard across Latin America. A steady, swaying two-step beat with a scraped güiro, accordion or keyboard melodies and a relaxed, rolling bass.
