i am looking for a male song that has a latin influence. similar to "Loud" from matilda, "America" from west side story, "bouenos aires" from evita etc. if there are none maybe some suggestions for some latin male or female songs that are not as obvious/not overdone. thank you

Check the full score from In The Heights - there are several options there in the salsa category. Hernando's Hideaway from The Pajama Game is a tango, and Who's Got The Pain from Damn Yankees is a mambo.

A lot of songs from WOMEN ON THE VERGE are good. Also, look at the West End ZORRO musical by Gipsy Kings. Or Aldolfo's stuff in DROWSY CHAPERONE. "Jaquenetta" from LOVES LABOURS LOST, "Tango Maureen" from RENT, etc.
