Argentina
Latin America & the Caribbean
Argentina is the home base of Trap argentino and RKT, the local fusion of cumbia, trap and Reggaeton that defines Buenos Aires nightlife. The current marquee names are Duki, Bizarrap, Trueno, Tini and Maria Becerra, with a younger wave around Lauta and Milo J coming up behind them. Bizarrap's BZRP Music Sessions remain the country's biggest export pipeline — a guest spot on his YouTube channel still routinely produces a continent-wide hit. Outside the capital, Cuarteto (the Cordoba dance style, led by Q' Lokura) is having a revival of its own.

Generational / regional / economic split
Gen Z listeners in Greater Buenos Aires run almost entirely on Trap argentino, and the country's biggest stars come up through SoundCloud and Bizarrap before crossing into pop. Cordoba and the interior provinces lean Cuarteto for weddings, parties and provincial radio. Listeners over forty still hold onto Rock nacional — Soda Stereo, Charly Garcia, Fito Paez — as a generational marker tied to the post-dictatorship years. Tango survives mostly inside the tourism economy and a few purist clubs rather than as everyday listening.
