The latin ones tend to be like "Ballroom Latin", some bossa (although I would really like to have one with bossa acoustic nylon guitar a la Joao Gilberto), etc. Years ago you did have some more diverse MIDI latin styles, created by Rebecca Mauleón. Why not do that again with RealTracks? I would like to hear RTs for example, with traditional instruments like the Cuban tres guitar, the Puerto Rican cuatro, etc. playing traditional patterns, as well as all the traditional percussion and other instruments. Also, a full modern salsa band with horn section licks and everything. Also a charanga ensemble, with the violins and flute. The modern popular Cuban styles as well, such as timba, songo, etc. Other latin-american folk styles would be of interest as well in RT, such as Andean, jarocho music from Mexico (all played by musicians of that culture, on authentic instruments), etc., etc., etc Would that be possible? Let's get some more variety in BIAB!

I'm using Real Tracks as audio backup tracks in Ableton Live for live performance and most of the midi (non Real Tracks) sound cheesy, so generally, I don't use them.
