    Which genre of music are these? Are they even the same genre? The have a similar Spanish/Latin American feel/vibe to them. Is it Flamenco? Andean music? Peruvian music? Something else?

    Thanks for the help.

  3. They are all different and could not be described as authentically representative of any cultural style.

    I think the people who made these were just trying to put some exotic flavour into what they were doing and just mashed different styles together. But if you want names, here's what comes to mind:
    1- flamenco
    2- balkan gypsy+andean
    3- very cool music
    4- arabic andalusian+prog metal
    5- No idea, reminds me of John Williams-Desert winds
    6- Trap+just your typical minor key shenanigans, sounds exotic because of ukelele

    The genre is Game soundtrack. The genre is defined by use, only if it's used in a game it can be defined as Game soundtrack. Adding to what others said, composers can use any instruments & styles they like. Many of the above examples draw from a pallete of orchestral, folk, and synth instruments.
