There are many other kinds of music that
have appeal within communities in the US with specific
national heritage. Some songs may be included in other
formats or there may be specific shows on stations for these
communities and styles.

three music forms that make up most of the music which could
not be considered to be the base for a separate format are:
Merengue
- Dominican Republic
Cumbia
- Colombia
Vallenato
- Colombia |

styles and types in Latin America. Few are heard beyond
isolated shows on non-commercial radio. There is an
interesting website which details such varieties with a
