People on the Peruvian coast created the fine guitar and [[cajon]] duos or trios in the most [[mestizo]] (mixed) of South American rhythms such as the Marinera (from Lima), the [[Tondero]] (from Piura), the 19th-century popular Creole Valse or Peruvian Valse, the soulful Arequipan Yaravi, and the early-20th-century Paraguayan [[Guarania (music)|Guarania]]. In the late 20th century, [[Rock en Español|Spanish rock]] emerged by young hipsters influenced by British pop and American rock. [[Music of Brazil|Brazil]] has a Portuguese-language pop rock industry as well a great variety of other music genres. In the central and western regions of Bolivia, Andean and folklore music like [[Diablada]], [[Caporales]] and [[Morenada]] are the most representative of the country, which were originated by European, Aymara and Quechua influences.

The [[Spanish American literature|literature]] of South America has attracted considerable critical and popular acclaim, especially with the [[Latin American Boom]] of the 1960s and 1970s, and the rise of authors such as [[Mario Vargas Llosa]], [[Gabriel García Márquez]] in novels and [[Jorge Luis Borges]] and [[Pablo Neruda]] in other genres.

===Food and drink===
{{Main|Cuisine of South America}}
Because of South America's broad ethnic mix, [[South American cuisine]] has African, Mestizo, South Asian, East Asian, and European influences. [[Bahia]], Brazil, is especially well known for its West African–influenced cuisine. Argentines, Chileans, Uruguayans, Brazilians, Bolivians, and Venezuelans regularly consume wine. People in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, southern Chile, Bolivia and Southern Brazil drink [[mate (beverage)|mate]], an herb which is brewed. The Paraguayan version, [[terere]], differs from other forms of mate in that it is served cold. [[Pisco]] is a liquor distilled from grapes in Peru and Chile. Peruvian cuisine mixes elements from Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, African, Arab, Andean, and Amazonic food.

A wide range of sports are played in the continent of South America, with [[Association football|football]] being the most popular overall, while baseball is the most popular in Venezuela.

Other sports include basketball, [[cycle sport|cycling]], [[polo]], volleyball, [[futsal]], [[motorsports]], [[Rugby football|rugby]] (mostly in Argentina and Uruguay), [[handball]], tennis, golf, [[field hockey]], [[boxing]], and [[cricket]].

South America hosted its first [[Olympic Games]] in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2016, and has hosted the [[Youth Olympic Games]] in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2018. A multi-sport event, the [[South American Games]], are held every four years. The first edition was held in [[La Paz]] in 1978 and the most recent took place in [[Santiago]] in 2014.

Brazil has won the FIFA World Cup a record five times; Argentina three times, Uruguay twice. Five South American nations have hosted the tournament including the first edition in Uruguay (1930). Two were in Brazil (1950, 2014), Chile (1962), and Argentina (1978). South America is home to the longest-running international football tournament, the [[Copa América]], which has been contested since 1916. Argentina has [[List of Copa América finals|won the Copa América]] 16 times, the most among all countries.

[[South American Cricket Championship]] is an international [[one-day cricket]] tournament played since 1995 featuring national teams from [[Sports in South America|South America]] and certain other invited sides including teams from North America, currently played annually but until 2013 was usually played every two seasons.
