Bolero music saw a resurgence of popularity with the younger audience . Mexican singer Luis Miguel was credited for the renewed interest due to the success of his album , '' Romance '' ( 1991 ) , a collection of classics covered by the artist . By the mid-1990s , Latin pop music was dominated by younger artists such as Menudo alumnus Ricky Martin , Colombian teen Shakira , and Julio 's son Enrique Iglesias . Around the same time , artists from Italy such as Eros Ramazzotti , Laura Pausini , and Nek successfully crossed over to the Latin music field by recording Spanish-language versions of their songs . In the Regional Mexican field , Tejano became the most prominent genre . Selena helped push Tejano music into the mainstream market with her albums '' Entre a Mi Mundo '' ( 1992 ) and '' Amor Prohibido '' ( 1994 ) , although the genre 's popularity declined following her death in 1995 . In the tropical music field , merengue , which gained attention in the 1980s , rivaled salsa in popularity
