Latin pop is usually marked by polished production while incorporating unobtrusive Latin rhythms and instrumentation into its mix. Latin Pop first reached a global audience through the work of bandleader Sergio Mendes in the mid-1960s; in later decades, crooner Julio Iglesias , the versatile Gloria Estefan , and the revolving-door teen idol group Menudo carried the style forward. This genre includes Tejano -- an urbanized form of the accordion-driven, Polka -inspired style known as north Mexican Conjunto that is plugged itself in, bought a few synthesizers and electric guitars, and moved its bouncy feel into the present day. Tejano crossover musicians include the popular L.A. outfit Los Lobos , who retain the genre's basics while adorning them mightily with pop/rock stylings, and the late diva Selena , a Spanish-singing Texan who achieved pop stardom while remaining true to her Tejano roots.
