===Music=== {{Main|Music of El Salvador}} [[File:Debut de la Compañia Infantil de Teatro La Colmenita de El Salvador. (24055587303).jpg|thumb| [[Álvaro Torres]] is one of the most famous Salvadoran singers mainly in the Latin pop genre, romantic ballads and boleros.]]Traditional Salvadoran music is a mixture of indigenous, Spanish, and African influences. It includes religious songs (mostly used to celebrate Christmas and other holidays, especially feast days of the saints). Other musical repertoire consists of danza, pasillo, marcha and cancione which are composed of parading bands, street performances, or onstage dances, either in groups or paired. Satirical and rural lyrical themes are common. Traditional instruments used are the ''[[marimba]]'', ''tepehuaste'', flutes, drums, [[Güiro|scrapers]] and [[gourd]]s, as well as guitars among others. El Salvador's well known folk dance is known as ''[[Xuc]]'' which originated in [[Cojutepeque]], Cuscatlan. Caribbean, Colombian, and Mexican music has become customary listening radio and party in the country, especially boleros, cumbia, merengue, Latin pop, salsa, bachata, and reggaeton.
