Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Tropical music, music originating from the Spanish Caribbean (Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and the Caribbean coastal regions of Colombia and Venezuela) including but not limited to: salsa, merengue, bachata, cumbia (including Mexican), guajira, son, vallenato, mambo, and traditional bolero music from the Caribbean. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this taskforce will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the taskforce.
Please add ((WikiProject Latin music|class|importance)) to the talk pages of any articles under this task force's scope. If you can, assess the articles class (other WikiProject banners may contain the class of the article), and the music-importance, the importance (top, high, mid, low or NA) to this task force). See here for more on assessing articles.
This article is within the scope of WikiProject Latin music, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of articles related to Latin music (music performed in Spanish, Portuguese and the languages of Ibero-America, see project scope for more details) on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.Latin musicWikipedia:WikiProject Latin musicTemplate:WikiProject Latin musicLatin music articles
The tropical music task force focuses on music from the Spanish Caribbean. Any Spanish-language album or song with a genre from the Caribbean falls under the task force scope. This includes any recording that has: ranked on the BillboardTropical Albums and Tropical Songs (as of January 21, 2017 for the latter chart), received a Grammy nomination for Best Tropical Latin Album, received a Latin Grammy nomination in any of the categories in the Tropical field, and any nominations in the tropical field in any Latin music award ceremony. Many Latin record labels will also release a tropical version of a popular Latin song to boost its audience. Said version should only be covered by the tropical music taskforce if it demonstrates its own nobility per WP:NSONGS.
