Reggaeton
About Reggaeton
The urban genre born in the underground clubs of San Juan in the 1990s, fusing Jamaican reggae en español and dancehall with hip-hop over the relentless dembow rhythm. From mixtapes and marquesinas it grew into one of the most dominant sounds in global pop, with Puerto Rico as its acknowledged birthplace.
