Latin Music Trends in Film & TV – 2025 Update

Latin music is no longer background flavor — it’s driving the emotional core of today’s top productions. Here are key trends music supervisors are leaning into this year.

1. Original Latin Music for Screen

The Latin Grammys just launched a new Visual Media category, celebrating Latin music created specifically for film, TV, and games. Authentic, purpose-built sync tracks are in the spotlight more than ever.

2. Beyond Reggaetón: Cross-Border Collabs & Genre Fusion

Supervisors are licensing bold genre blends like cumbia meets ambient, regional Mexican meets trap, and funk carioca fused with Latin pop. Hybrid is hot — but it has to be real.

3. Regional Mexican Breakout

Styles like corridos tumbados and sierreño urbano are finding placements in everything from Netflix thrillers to gritty indie dramas. Emotional grit is in.

4. The Sync-Ready Streaming Boom

Latin music saw the biggest growth in U.S. streaming share in 2025 — and supervisors are matching that trend on screen. The demand for authentic Latin sounds is at an all-time high.
