Latin American Folklore is the study of the informal beliefs, customs and cultural traditions common in the countries in Latin America.

Latin America has many great folk tales worth of being retold and kept for next generations to come. La Cucarachita Mandinga (Mandinga, the Little Roach) was retold by the Panamanian author Rogelio Sinan in 1937. The story itself had been around in Latin American countries for many years.
