Some comments on lead
The topic and the article are broad. But, the lead seems to have one purpose - to describe how post-Columbus women artists have faced discrimination. This history of discrimination is an important topic to include here, but it isn't the only focus of the article, or the only lens to view the topic, and shouldn't be the only focus of the lead.

Also, there are a lot of generalizations about indigenous peoples in the lead (were all these diverse groups egalitarian towards women?, were women the dominant musicians for all of pre-contact time?), that really caught my eye. As written, I think this will be flagged for WP:NPOV. Adding qualifiers, where justified, would help ('some', 'many', 'recent research has suggests').

Quotes in the lead need to be referenced.

Looks like a great article, looking forward to reading in more detail.Teretylac (talk) 17:50, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The lead "serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important contents." The first paragraph of the lead discusses what the nature of the three subsections below are about: pre-Columbian Latin American culture, arrival of Europeans, and colonial Latin America. If I add "some" or "many", it would be flagged, the article is sourced to several books (as there are not a lot available for free) that have found that in Latin America (especially the Inca Empire) women were equally treated in music as were men until the arrival of Europeans in the late 15th century. Quotes in the lead does not need to be sourced, (a) unless the information is not included in the article body, (b) unless the information in the article body itself is not source, and (c) if the sentence is to be repeatedly challenged by readers. But, I do appreciate your comments and bringing those issues here on the talk page. Best – jona  ✉ 20:33, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
 * According to MOS:LEADCITE, quotes in the lead should be sourced. This is particularly important in an article like this, which is somewhat essay-like; having a number of sources (which is expected) is no guarantee against POV issues. All the best,  Mini  apolis  00:09, 10 August 2017 (UTC)


 * The title of the article seems to be too inclusive compared to the scope. Latin music states this covers music from Spain itself (and even Portugal), whereas this article is strictly about Latin American music. Seems it should be moved accordingly. FunkMonk (talk) 10:19, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
