Music is a very important part of culture in several different countries. Spanish and Latin American singers today such as Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Enrique Inglesias, and Marc Anthony have influenced the world of music in not only the countries that they or their family originate from, but also here in America too. These artists have used a mixture of spanish and english in many of their songs throughout the years, which shows the use of Spanglish in many Spanish and Latin Americans today. Many of these artists and several others were born here in the United States, but still used their family background and culture to influence the lyrics in their music. Also, while listening to these songs, you can see how similiar and different they are at the same time. One spanish speaking country's culture could be very alike or also very different from another one. The music in these countries play a very important role in Spanish culture.
