Hispanoamerica is the name given to the group of 19 Spanish-speaking countries on the American continent. These countries are located in North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean (the three largest Antilles).

There are special cases as Belize and United States, countries in which the official language is English, however, the Spanish-speaking population and Hispanic descendants are a large part of the population.

Being Hispanic in contemporary society implies a series of common features, among the most notable are the Spanish language, also, the music.

The music includes African percussion as well as different wind instruments, such as the Andean flutes called Quena, Sikus, Zampoñas, Antaras among others. The musical rhythms have in common contact dances in which the hip movement and integration of the entire body is an outstanding characteristic, such as tango, bachata, salsa, cumbia.

 

The cultural diversity brought by the 19 countries of Latin America: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Uruguay and Venezuela; show the color and joy with which one can live.

Hispanic culture implies the cultural syncretism between the indigenous peoples of the American continent, the indigenous peoples of the African continent and the people of the Kingdom of Spain.

The history of Latin America is linked since 1492 with the era of colonization and occupation by the Kingdom of Spain in Europe to the different peoples and cultures that inhabited the American continent.

The adjectives Latin and Hispanic are often used interchangeably, however, they imply different things. The countries that make up Latin America include countries that speak other Romance languages ​​such as Portuguese and French, therefore, Brazil, Dominica, French Guiana, Haiti, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Barthélemy and Saint Martin are included.

It is important to note that during the more than three centuries of Spanish occupation and colonization, indigenous peoples were subjected to the dispossession of their lands, enslavement, racial discrimination and other types of abuse.

Currently, a large number of public projects and policies have been created that seek both respect and acceptance of different cultures, instead of assimilation, which is to omit and dissolve cultural diversity to integrate the culture of the dominant people.

Hispanoamérica

Hispanoamérica es como se le llama al conjunto de los 19 países de habla hispana en el continente americano. Estos países se ubican en Norteamérica, Centroamérica, Suramérica y el Caribe (las tres Antillas mayores). 

Existen casos especiales de países en los que su lengua oficial es el inglés, no obstante, la población de habla hispana e hispano descendiente son gran parte de la población, en el caso de Estados Unidos de 59 millones personas.

Ser hispano en la sociedad contemporánea implica una serie de rasgos en común, entre los más destacables son la lengua española y la música. La música incluye las percusiones africanas, así como diferentes instrumentos de viento, como las flautas andinas llamadas Quena, Sikus, Zampoñas, Antaras entre otras. Los ritmos musicales tienen en común bailes de contacto en los que el movimiento de cadera e integración del cuerpo completo es una característica sobresaliente, como lo son el tango, la bachata, la salsa, la cumbia, los valses peruanos, banda mexicana, ranchero, entre muchos otros. 

La diversidad cultural que aportan los 19 países de Hispanoamérica: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, México, Nicaragua, Panamá, Paraguay, Perú, Puerto Rico, República Dominicana, Uruguay y Venezuela; dan muestra del color y la alegría con que se puede vivir. 

La cultura hispana implica el sincretismo cultural entre los pueblos indígenas del continente americano, los pueblos indígenas del continente africano y el pueblo del Reyno de España. 

La historia de Hispanoamérica se une desde 1492 con la época de la colonización y ocupación por parte del Reyno de España en Europa a los diferentes pueblos y culturas que habitaban el continente americano. 

Suele usarse de forma indistinta el adjetivo latino e hispano, sin embargo, implican cosas distintas, los países que conforman Latinoamérica incluyen los países que hablan otras lenguas romances como el portugués y el francés, por tanto, se incluyen Brasil, Dominica, Guyana Francesa, Haití, Guadalupe, Martinica, San Bartolomé y San Martín. 

Es importante tener en cuenta, durante los más de tres siglos de ocupación y colonización española, los pueblos indígenas fueron sometidos al despojo de sus tierras, esclavización, discriminación racial y otro tipo de vejaciones. 

Actualmente se ha hecho un gran tipo de proyectos y políticas públicas que procuran tanto el respeto como la aceptación de las diferentes culturas, en lugar de la asimilación, que es omitir y disolver la diversidad cultural para integrar la cultura del pueblo dominante.
