Latin metal is a form of heavy metal that incorporates Latin American musical identity into metal’s riffs, heaviness, and performance style. It commonly features Spanish (and sometimes Portuguese) vocals, grooves derived from Latin dance and folk traditions, and rhythmic layers such as clave-based patterns or percussion inspired by salsa, cumbia, Afro-Caribbean, and regional folkloric styles. In some scenes—especially in the Americas—it can also draw from Indigenous and other world/ethnic traditions (for example, traditional percussion, chant-like vocal phrasing, or modal/melodic ideas), while still keeping a metal foundation (distorted guitars, powerful drums, and aggressive vocal delivery).

Rock andaluz (Andalusian rock) is a Spanish fusion of progressive and psychedelic rock with flamenco and Andalusian folk traditions. It combines electric guitars, bass, and drums with flamenco guitar, palmas (handclaps), and cante jondo–inspired vocals, often within expansive, symphonic arrangements. Characteristically, it draws on Phrygian and Phrygian-dominant modes, the Andalusian cadence (i–♭VII–♭VI–V), and flamenco compás patterns (e.g., bulería, tangos, rumba), while embracing the timbres and structures of 1970s prog (Hammond organ, Mellotron, Moog, long instrumental passages). Lyrically, it reflects Andalusian identity, poetic imagery, and the social winds of Spain’s late-Franco and Transition eras.
