Latin singers' vocal ranges

What sets Latin singing apart

Latin is a broad umbrella, from bolero and ranchera to salsa, bachata and reggaeton, sung mainly in Spanish and Portuguese. Ranchera and bolero prize sustained, open-throated chest voice with strong vibrato, while the urban styles sit much closer to speech.

Many of these singers are also listed under Pop, but the traditional forms here ask for more sustained chest voice than mainstream pop does.
