Hispanic Heritage Month
Each year from September 15 to October 15, we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month—a time to honor the histories, cultures, and contributions of people whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. One of the ways this heritage shines is through music.
Music carries stories of resilience, joy, and identity across generations. From traditional folk music to global pop hits, Latino artists have shaped not only their communities, but the world.
A few incredible musicians worth celebrating this month include:
Celia Cruz – Known as the “Queen of Salsa,” Celia brought Afro-Cuban music to international audiences with her powerful voice and magnetic stage presence.
Carlos Santana – Blending rock with Latin jazz and blues, Santana’s guitar sound is instantly recognizable and has influenced generations of musicians.
Selena Quintanilla – Often called the “Queen of Tejano Music,” Selena’s artistry and charisma continue to inspire countless fans worldwide.
Juanes – The Colombian singer-songwriter has used his music to promote peace and unity while topping international charts.
These artists remind us how music can connect us across languages and cultures, lifting up stories that deserve to be heard.
At Wildwood Music Therapy, we believe music is not only a cultural treasure but also a powerful tool for healing, growth, and learning. Whether through music therapy or music lessons, we strive to create inclusive spaces where every person feels seen and supported. Some of our providers have Spanish language skills, and are happy to include Spanish language and Latin music into services if you’re seeking that!
