A city of immigrants, NYC’s musical styles range far and wide in influence
A notorious center for innovation in America, a champion of the American Dream, NYC attracted immigrants from around the world, with large sub-communities within the city’s densely packed borders. This multifaceted history has encouraged the diversification of music, in which a single genre branches out into dozens of other, newer, more dispersed genres.
One example of this in in Latinx music. Cuban, Puerto Rican, and later Dominican immigrants brought their cultural sounds to NYC in the early 20th century. From this fusion, a number of new music genres were born, rooted in Caribbean tradition. From Latinx musi brought to NYC, the following genres came to be: boogaloo, cha cha cha, conga, cubpop, Latin jazz, Latin soul, mambo, merengue, reggaeton, rumba, salsa, hip-hop, and protest and political music.

For decades, major labels have controlled much of what is heard by Americans, but now, independent artists and independent labels in NYC are paving the way, showing how decentralization can be leveraged to the advantage of little-known artists.
