The best band of all is likely the hottest Latin band that made superstardom careers of some of the band members--and that band was Santana. This band was named for sure for the iconic rock guitarist who was inspired by Jimi Hendrix's guitar licks and often directed the band--Carlos Devadip Santana. Pete Escovedo played with that band in Santana's "Moonflower" album, and that album is probably one of the hottest albums that made Santana famous in the pop/rock world.

Pete Escovedo played with that band in Santana's "Moonflower" album, and that album is probably one of the hottest albums that made Santana famous in the pop/rock world. (After Pete left Santana, Pete then teamed up with Sheila Escovedo and Peter Michael Escovedo to create their own Latin fusion band.) Graham Lear, who also was a Santana band member who played the drums on the Moonflower album, went on to play drums for a jazz group called Gino Vannelli for some time in the 1970s. Santana's main big break happened at Woodstock in 1970. The "big break" tune that made this band put Latin rock with a big stamp on American rock history in Woodstock was "Soul Sacrifice". The song's evocations of Afrobeat, highlife, Latin fusion, soul, power rock, soca, jazz organ, and Afro-Cuban grooves mixed into one rock music smorgasbord, was the reason Santana was the most popular Latin rock band for all of the 1970s and most of the 1980s.
Later on, the Santana band continued to be famous in the 1990s and 2000s decades when they teamed up with singer Rob Thomas for the famous cha-cha-cha/Latin rock hit, "Smooth", and with members of Mana, in another cha-cha rock song, "Corazon Despinado."
not latino but from countries that speak spanish sure hundreds (stay away from anyone who takes pride in the word latino the are naive)
to start of Mexico Zoé is the biggest, but is what led to the popularity of hiphop like Caifanes inspired the 90’s hiphop movement (Molotov, Control Machete, Gran silencio, platilina mosh)
as always for ent. you have Mexico first than Argentina than Venezuela than Spain and all else just isn't making enough Rock to even count
biggest names in the last 30 years can go from earthy weird bands Like Caifanes, to 80’s poppie later translated to contemporary in Soda Es

biggest names in the last 30 years can go from earthy weird bands Like Caifanes, to 80’s poppie later translated to contemporary in Soda Estereo, the closest thing to mainstream Metal in “Heroes de silencio" than indie With Zoé and all the hipster bands of the last 15 years, not leave out bands like Cafe Tacuba or Molotov though Molotov fell out or sold out when transitioning to the u.s. so they only had one good album that came out mid 90’s
the problem is all the bands I just mentioned have very different sounds there is no unified sound for Spanish speaking countries because they are bands that just stock around, today drill and hiphop are way more popular than rock it seems we are at a low point for rock and all the hiphop producces is garbage so hopefully we will have a new sound in the coming years.
Argentina have the biggest rock culture and history among latín American countries. It started in the 60s and made a major impact in the 80s when it conquered latin american charts. Nowadays is not the most listened genre but it ranks 3rd behind Cumbia and Trap/Rap and even the new rap singers embrace rock because it’s part of our culture. In 2017, only one band made a concert for 300.000 people. Famous musicians have already said that the crowd is amazing and maybe that’s the reason why there were DVD of concerts in Argentina made by artists of different genres like ACDC, Megadeth, The Rollin

Besides Argentina’s poor economy, it’s most likely to succeed with a band in Argentina than other countries because Argentinians have a great attachment to Rock, there are big festivals, bars and stadiums that are packed with rock’n roll shows every year. Also, Argentinian bands have made a very good reputation in South America. Sadly being succesful with a rock band is hard in any part of the world, young people seem to prefer other genres but there’s still hope that good old rock days come to the surface.

This is a very difficult question...
What do you want from your live performance?
Lights, fireworks, inflatable pigs? Pink Floyd.
Dancers and choreography? Beyonce.
Songs that sound different every time you see the band? The Grateful Dead.
Energy and outrageous behaviour? The Libertines.
Inflatable balls for crowd surfing? The Flaming Lips
Now, I'm not saying that these are the best live bands but they certainly set some good examples for other bands to follow.
Some of my personal favourites have been,
Ozric Tentacles. with The Fruit Salad Light Show.
Carter USM. 5000 fans shouting "You Fat Basta

Carter USM. 5000 fans shouting "You Fat Bastard" at a group of naked men, a light show to give you sunburn and songs we all knew inside out.
Art Brut. Audience interaction, the singer coming down from the stage into the audience to tell us stories for 20 minutes.
What I want from a concert is the experience.
I don't want the songs to sound like the album. I don't want the band to stand like statues during the whole show.
I want artists that interact, that make mistakes, that perform a cover version you wouldn't expect.
I want to be entertained!
My absolute favourite was probably Dr. & The Medics. They were superb. Costumes, the hits, cover versions, anecdotes.
I’d say that this qualifies:
Where do I start?
I’m a huge financial nerd, and have spent an embarrassing amount of time talking to people about their money habits.
Here are the biggest mistakes people are making and how to fix them:
Not having a separate high interest savings account
Having a separate account allows you to see the results of all your hard work and keep your money separate so you're less tempted to spend it.
Plus with rates above 5.00%, the interest you can earn compared to most banks really adds up.

Head over to this Debt Relief comparison website here, then simply answer the questions to see if you qualify.
It’s as simple as that. You’ll likely end up paying less than you owed before and you could be debt free in as little as 2 years.

Pretty sweet deal right? Here is a link to some of the best options.

George Thorogood and The Destroyer’s. He sounds exactly like he does on the radio. No over dubs, just straight ahead rock ’n roll and excellent guitar playing.
I would rather suggest to give a chance to students or folks in your locality who are finding some stage to perform on.

LetLive. Hands down the most high energy rock show in the past decade.
The band is absolutely solid, and their singer is a beautiful maniac onstage.
I've never heard of anyone walking out of a Letlive concert feeling "ho-hum"
Also, for a different vibe, might I recommend the almighty Protomen. An unmatched ensemble performing a rock opera based on a dystopian Mega Man video game universe.
It works. An outstanding show, and their occasional cover song, from Queen to Styx are spot-on, live.
Santana.
What do you mean by “Latin American”?
There was a band way back then called Baron Rojo. They were a Hard Rock band who made made some Awesome albums in the 1970’s. Loved that band. I had their vinyl albums in my collection.
ORIGINAL QUESTION: What are some examples of lively Latin music?
Here’s a hot little number by one of my favorite performers, Thalia:

Technically speaking they are from Mexico and not Latin America. There is no denying they are extremely talented, but to call them “the best” out of so many is a bit overrating them. I can understand a huge fan saying so however. For one thing, they strangely deny their heritage and sing in English. I doubt they even have a Spanish language song. They could easily be a band of white sisters from America, and you wouldn't know who they are if you just heard them without seeing them or knowing their background. OK, they are women. That's cool.

They could easily be a band of white sisters from America, and you wouldn't know who they are if you just heard them without seeing them or knowing their background. OK, they are women. That's cool. They are incredible instrumentalists. That's cool too. But what is Latina about their music? Don't get me wrong. They are an amazing band, but there are bands from East LA, Van Nuys, or South Texas who will sound more Latina. They don't seem to draw much inspiration from Mexico, which seems to me to be a huge missed opportunity. Maybe I am not familiar enough with ALL their work, but that is one major reason I would not define them as “the best”. Santana, Los Lobos, Ritchie Valens, and others never forgot their roots, and you hear it in their music. However, you don't hear it with The Warning. This doesn't mean they are not an amazing band, for they surely are.
