I really love a lot of different music and I don`t have a favourite genre of music, but how I must to answer about that I think I can talk about a "genre" that I enjoy too much: Latin american fusion.
This a a type of music that I like a lot because I feel it is a very interesting way to deepen in the originatives rhythms of the countries with amazing geographies and cultures how is it Latin america and a too a manner of play, zoom in and enlarge those cultures and the all musical spectrum.
In Chile this way to make music "born" in the second half of twentieth century and it is derived from folkloric rhythms of each countries of Latin America and mergers with jazz, blues, learned music and others.
Because it is a very heterophasic and varied way to make music we can find a great variety of instruments in it and its depend of how specific is the rhythm that it rescues.
The more important exponents in Chile are Inti illimani and Entrama (for me) an in the "new" music we can find a very good exponents like Elizabeth Morris, Juan Antonio(Chicoria) Sanchez, other icons are Eduardo Mateo and Hugo Fattoruso and some works of Gustavo Pena from Uruguay, the "Aca seca" group and the works of Carlos Aguirre and Eduardo Falú in Argentina and a great gamma of others.

I think that it's a very interesting genre of the music because like you say mix a great variety of instruments and it's related with the geographies and cultures of Latin america. I like Inti Illimani.
