Founded in 1999, Batanga.com was the first online community focused on the Latino lifestyle and Latin music. Batanga offers streaming media radio stations and video as well as an online virtual community for social networking. Batanga has about 4.5 million unique visitors per month, who generate on-demand instances of song and video streams numbering in the tens of millions per month. Batanga is the fastest growing Website targeting Latinos in the United States, who are the nation's fastest growing population, with more than 40 million residents.

Batanga.com markets to young U.S.-born Hispanics. Through this site you can get to listen to music, create your own radio station and share it with your friends, watch music videos and connect with other "Batangueros", see "what's hot", check the Batanga magazine and more. Batanga.com has more than 20 exclusive online radio stations, including all types of Latin music such as reggaeton, baladas, mexicana, mariachi, cumbia, boleros, tango, salsa, merengue and much more. Checkout all of the Batanga's categories such as: Music, Radio, My Radio, My Batanga, Movies, Lifestyle, Autos, Chicas, Sports, E-Cards, Specials etc. Plus, seek into the popular tags like for example: Shakira, Daddy Yankee, RBD, Aventura and much more. The best characteristic of this site is that it is absolutely free.

If you are a fan of Latino music you know how hard it can be to find your favorite songs by the best artists. Usually other music websites only have Latin songs that make it onto the top 100 of any list. On Batagna.com, the list of genres is sure to excite. Do you love reading about your favorite artists or finding out about new talent before all your friends? You can sign up to receive a free magazine subscription from Batanga that is full of interviews, CD reviews, and what the Latinos call "chisma." The major drawback to Batanga is that the amount of advertising on the site really detracts from your listening/viewing pleasure. Of course, they have to be advertiser supported if the service is free, but you don't expect to be bombarded with ads the way you are here. Further, while there's a broad selection of Latina music, there aren't any other genres of music, which ultimately becomes very restricting. Other free music downloading sites—for instance, EZ-Tracks—offers Latina music as well as many other types of songs.
