In addition to typical house elements like four-on-the-floor beats, it incorporates live instruments that evoke a tropical vibe—such as bongos and steel drums.
Its defining trait is melodic vocals set against an expansive, open sound.
Gaining attention from the 2010s onward, tropical house has become so prevalent that its sound is now commonplace on the hit charts.
