I am fine with The Shape of You as Latin, though others may not be.

My problems are with Thinking Out Loud and Sympathy for the Devil. I don't think they fit the rules very well, even with bongoes added.

And a remix done well is fine. But some are really not so hot.

I also have a personal hatred of the Blah Blah Cha Cha and the Chilly Cha Cha, but I would never say they are not cha Chas. That's just my taste; they are well within the rules.

And there is lots more modern Latin than Despacito,there are even Latin War horses like Besame mucho, Historia de Amor, Life is a Carnival, a lot of Ricky Martin, Tito Puente, Perez Prado, a lot of Jennifer Lopez, etc


(And no I do not hope for anyone to use the Macarena...)

I hear latin when I listen to Shape of you.

And I don't understand the fuss about remixes. How many versions of despacito do you actually want to hear?

A lot of people hear Mountains of Things by Tracy Chapman when they listen to Shape of You. Paulinho Da Costa did the percussion on that; and when it comes to Latin rhythms, he WAS the eighties.
