Mexico is considered as the Hollywood of Latin America because of the strength of its music and television industry as well as its history of Cinema.[citation needed] Foreign artists have started or continued their career in Mexico, especially in the telenovela industry.
In music, several artists have re-located or started their career in Mexico because it is the largest Spanish-speaking country in the world. Bands like La Quinta Estación started their career in Mexico because they think only a few Spanish artist become famous internationally and from Mexico they have been able to become known in Argentina, Chile and the United States.
