You might be thinking of Latin music, which definitely does not equal Spanish, although it has influence from there. Latin is West African-derived music, whereas flamenco music in Spain is much more European, with some North African flavor. That stupid dancing stuff on the spanish channels is pop Tex-Mex, which is basically worse than Reggaeton in my opinion. What you might want to look for are other Latin genres, such as Bossa Nova, Samba, Mereingue, Rhumba, Cha-Cha, Salsa, etc which all will have jazz-derived harmonies, but very different rhythms. Latin music is generally extremely syncopated, and each style has a very specific sort of feel. To gringo ears, they all will sound similar, but the more you get into it, the more you can fit into the groove.

Previous Post: Spanish coming from Spain, or just music played in Spanish?

Next Post: Bossa Nova is my favorite genre to play and listen to, by far.
