MORE ON THE DANCE STUDIO NEXT WEEK ON CHICAGO TONIGHT.

AS YOU KNOW, MUSIC OF COURSE IS A BIG PART OF NISSL OPERATION.

FOR HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH, WE HAVE ASKED A MUSIC JOURNALIST TO DIAL IN ON A FEW MUSIC STYLES, GENRES, TRENDS ACROSS THE LATINO DANCE FLOOR.

SHE'S KICKING IT OFF WITH A LOOK AT THE MENTION CON ORIGINAL MUSIC MOVEMENT.

TAKE A LOOK.

>> THE GENRE OF MEXICAN REGIONAL MUSIC HAS GONE UP BY 40% IN JUST THE LAST YEAR.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT EITHER, BUT IT IS HAPPENING.

REGIONAL MEXICAN MUSIC IS BEING REFLECTED IN MUSIC OF YOUNG PEOPLE.

THIS NEW STYLE OF MUSIC, THEY ARE INCORPORATING THEIR OWN CULTURAL INFLUENCES INTO MUSIC THEY GREW UP WITH.

THEY'RE LIKE BUT WE ALSO LOVE HIP HOP, TRAP, OTHER TROPICAL SOUNDS.

WE DON'T WE COMBINE IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS?

THEY'RE DOING IT IN SUCH A COOL WAY, IT IS WEIRD BUT COOL.

WHY DON'T WE LISTEN?

THEY JUST PERFORMED IN CHICAGO AT LOLLAPALOOZA.

♪ [ MUSIC ] ♪♪ >>> ANOTHER BAND FROM CHICAGO DOING SOMETHING GLOBAL INCORPORATES SOUNDS FROM ACROSS THE U.S.

THEY'RE CREATING THIS UNIQUE SOUND ON THEIR OWN.

ONE OF THE NEWEST SONGS, WE SHOULD LISTEN TO.

♪ [ MUSIC ] ♪♪ >> TO CONTINUE THE LATIN ALTERNATIVE FUSION, LET'S LISTEN TO SOMETHING THAT COMES FROM A SUPER GROUP FORMED BY MEMBERS OF THE COLOR BROWN, DOSANTOS.

THEY'RE INCORPORATING AFRO COLUMBIA DISCO, ROCK, POP INTO THEIR MUSIC.

EACH OF THE TRACKS ON THE NEW ALBUM HAS A DIFFERENT FLAVOR BUT IT'S BASED ON LATIN MUSIC WITH MODERN SOUND.
