Overview
By 1975, music market analysts predicted an 8 to 10% growth of Latin music internationally. This growth also expanded into the United States which led to record labels of promoting Latin artists in the country. According to Billboard's Marv Fisher, " international labels are increasingly involved throughout Latin America".
Latin pop
Spanish singer Julio Iglesias was among the pioneers of the balada craze of the 1970s. He would eventually be recognized as the best selling male Latin artist of all time by the Guinness World Record in 2013.
Mexican singer-songwriter Juan Gabriel was one of the most prolific singers of the balada genre during the 1970s.
Latin America went through the balada craze with balladeers from both the region and Spain having a huge Latin audience. Artists include José José, Roberto Carlos, Juan Gabriel, and Julio Iglesias. The latter artist would later become the best-selling male Latin artist of all time.

NEW YORK (CBS 2) -- Loneliness is one of the worst feelings, causing suffering at any age.
But now, new research shows it can be especially debilitating to older adults, increasing the risk of serious health problems and even death.
Raquel Peguero, 77, told CBS 2's Maurice Dubois she longs for the days when her home was filled with laughter and music.
"He could even sing opera, he had a beautiful voice," Peguero said. "I had a good life."
Her husband, known as "Yayo El Indio," was a famous Latin singer.
But Peguero said the music -- and life as she knew it -- came to an abrupt end when her husband died 10 years ago.
"It's not the same, I'm all alone," Peguero said.
Peguero is one of 10 million older Americans who live alone. And while many people get used it, others are so overwhelmed by their loneliness, it negatively affects their health.
"It's very important for people to be connected and to have a feeling that you can depend on another person," said Dr. Igor Galynker, a psychiatrist at Beth Israel Medical Center.
Galynker said two new studies show loneliness is a risk factor for poor health -- and even death.
"There is an increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases, strokes, heart attacks. The risk of death increases is two-fold," Dr. Galynker said.
Galynker said lonely adults are more apt to become disinterested in eating right, taking their medications or seeing the doctor.
"Any of these reasons or all of them together will contribute to decrease life expectancy," Dr. Galynker said.
Experts say it's important, once loneliness is recognized, for families to play a greater role or involve social services.
"We under-appreciate the role of the family in our own well being," Dr. Galynker said.
"Sometimes I'm not so good, sometimes I'm okay," Puguero said.
