Costa Rica, a part of Central America, connects North and South America. It aligns itself with Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south. And because of its geographical proximity to other countries, Costa Rican music styles from Reggae, Rock, Ska, Punk, Metal, Rap, Hip Hop, and Reggeaton are popular.
