Why Spanish/Latin female singers have this such special voice like Alla Pugacheva but I've never heard a non-Spanish/non-Latin woman with a voice like that ?

discussion

Lately, I’ve been listening to a lot of Latin and Spanish songs, and I’ve noticed that many female singers in this genre have a distinctive voice, especially 80's ones. Whenever I hear a song sung by a woman with a voice like that, even if I don’t know this song and who sing this, I automatically assume she’s a Latin singer, and when I check later, I find that I’m always right. I can name lot of Latin female singers with that special voice, like Alla Pugacheva, Isabel Pantoja, Rocío Jurado, Ivete Sangalo, Salomé De Bahia, Daniela Mercury, Margareth Menanzeth, María Jiménez, Ana Belén and others but I can’t name only one non-Spanish/non-Latin woman with a special voice like that.
