{{Main|Music of Belize}}
In recent years, Latin music, including [[reggaeton]] and [[Banda music|banda]], has experienced a surge in popularity in Belize, alongside the traditional genres of punta and brukdown. This growing trend reflects the influence of neighbouring Latin American countries and the cultural connections that exist within the region. The rise in popularity of Latin music in Belize demonstrates the vibrant and diverse musical landscape of the country, showcasing the ability of music to transcend borders and bring people together.

[[Punta]] is distinctly Caribbean, and is sometimes said to be ready for international popularization like similarly descended styles ([[reggae]], [[calypso music|calypso]], [[merengue (music)|merengue]]).

[[Brukdown]] is a modern style of Belizean music related to [[Calypso music|calypso]]. It evolved out of the music and dance of loggers, especially a form called ''buru''. [[Reggae]], [[dance hall]], and [[Soca music|soca]] imported from Trinidad, Jamaica, and the rest of the [[West Indies]], [[rapping|rap]], [[hip-hop]], [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]], and [[rock music]] from the United States, are also popular among the youth of Belize.
