Anything by Café Tacuba. I’ve seen them live three times and they’re always amazing, but (unsurprisingly) you’ll get more out of the show if you know the songs. Also, they’re a good gateway into “fusion rock”

If you’re looking for fun, party music, I recommend Los Auténticos Decadentes, from Argentina. Their songs from the ’90s were a must at parties back in the ’90s and 2000s, but their music is still pretty solid.

Finally, an album that I always recommend (even though it’s a bit of an oldie at this point) is Viaje Infinito, by Chilean singer Nicole. It’s pop, but not very well-known in the mainstream. Still, it’s honestly one of my favorite albums to go back to from time to time.

I’m sure there are other recommendations I could make, but these are good places to start IMHO.

Oh, check Miranda! too. They make Dance pop but it’s pretty fun.

Co-signing this, though I’d personally recommend focusing on their first four studio albums (with the first one being their best). Their more recent music isn’t bad, but I don’t find it as exciting as I did their earlier stuff for some reason.
