This is a list of notable events in Latin music (i.e., music from the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking areas Latin America, Latin Europe, and the United States) that took place in 1999.
In the same week, Billboard holds its 6th Annual Latin Music Awards on April 22. Puerto Rican American singer Elvis Crespo is the most awarded artist with four wins. Spanish singer Rocío Dúrcal is inducted into the Billboard Latin Music Hall of Fame.
December 26 — The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) reports a 12% growth on the Latin music market in the United States compared to 1998. This gives Latin music a 4.9% share of the total music market. The report does not include sales of albums done by English-speaking Latino artists as the RIAA only considers an album to be "Latin" if 51% or more of its content is recorded in Spanish.[5]
