Reggaeton is one of the most popular music genres in the world. Its history is rooted in diaspora migration, censorship, poverty and the reclaiming of Afro-Caribbean identity. We go to New York, one of the homes of reggaeton's evolution, to explore the music's history and talk to those who've helped pioneer the sound and those who are changing its image.

@ Candy Colombo. Reggaeton comes from Reggae which comes from Jamaica. Yes Jamaica is a nation of African descendants but culturally it is a Caribbean nation and culture. The Africans were stripped of identities in the West Indies and they since formed their own identities. All Caribbeans regardless of language spoken can relate ....

Jamaica is such a trend setter in music, they created 7 different Genres. Mento, Ska, Rocksteady, Reggae, Dancehall, Reggae-fusion, and Dub music, which was created in the 1960s. And yes without a doubt Reggaeton was influenced by Reggae. It was also Reggae’s influence that brought Toasting, which is chatting/talking/chanting over a beat to New York City, which then evolved into Hip-Hop. Lovers rock, jungle music and grime created in Britain was influenced and is an offshoot of the Jamaican genres. One tiny island did all of that. Very incredible. The sad part is, a lot of people still aren’t educated about that history. I’m glad to see in this video, that credit/recognition is being given for such marvellous cultural and musical influence.

yandel 321 I think You must be latino to say this. I know the spanish and latino singers are using this beat in every song. And when something is overused, it's real taste fades away. But for me , i like it . It doesnt mean i'd want this beat in every song. Every genre has it's own time and taste. For example, i like hiphop and rap but sometimes when i feel sad i listen to blues. And sometime i listen to country song when i'm in the mood. And as i am multilingual i listen to English, indian,pakistani,Arabic,pushto (afghan),kurdish and other songs including spanish.

With reggaeton currently at the worlds center stage, it seems not many have noticed the Cumbia pop (cheta also called cheta cumbia) craze in Argentina and especially in Uruguay. Cumbia pop bands are being churned out big time in Uruguay. This particular music genre seems to be spreading North.

I lived in Peru for a year during 2015 and that’s the first time I knew about and heard reggaeton. By time I was about to come back to my home country in Indonesia in 2016, I loved the genre so much. I felt like a badass as an Asian girl who knows and listens to reggaeton when my fellow Indonesian friends didn’t know a thing about it. I felt exclusive 😎. But then despacito came out, J. Balvin got more famous, and everyone around me started to listen to reggaeton. I was like, damn! Why??? I didn’t feel exclusive anymore as more and more people know about reggaeton now 😭😅😂

@sweetie4148 2 года назад

Reggaeton has been for years 🙄 and in Puerto Rico thanks to daddy yankee, don Omar and ivy queen they got more famous worldwide but people tend to listen English music more than Spanish ☝️ I think you missed a lot of great song and those were famous around the world and still 🤷‍♀️ we have wisin y yandel too, farruko, Zion y Lennox, Ozuna and like 100 more singers in Puerto Rico 😂💪 now we also have bad bunny, jhay Cortes, rauw Alejandro, nio garcia, thanks to daddy yankee back in 2017 when despacito came out and has more than 7 billion on RU-vid when that song hit around the world everything changed in the reggaeton industry, j balvin got inspired by daddy yankee and he even said that during his interview, daddy yankee is always doing hits around the world 🌎 and so j balvin wanted to do the same ❤️☝️ I love j balvin he’s different but he had to changed the way he was doing reggaeton to now pop ( that happened on 2017/2018 after despacito) because that’s what daddy yankee did first and opened so many doors to the music industry for men and women. Puerto Rico not only do reggaeton/ pop reggaeton but we do trap as well, R&B urban and more. 👌 reggaeton has been known forever in the Caribbean island, Latin America, Europe, and USA. 😉

This unique rhythm gets wind in Puerto Rico and gets further refined. This unique sound is now coined in Puerto Rico and reggaeton is born.

*Bochom Ed Oncol* that would be like calling some rap songs jazz or funk because of the music it samples. i agree that without dancehall, there wouldn't have been any reggaeton. the influence is in the beat and in how some artists perform the vocals. but reggaeton was also heavily influenced by the house club scene, rap vocals and salsa singing.

Would be nice if you guys could do a video about dance hall/reggae, showing how it has been sampled and used by people like “dj kool herc” and “el general” over the years to influence major genres like hip hop, EDM, Afrobeat and Reggaeton. It has not only influenced other genres but even how music is recorded today, I remember watching a Chris Blackwell interview where he spoke about how Jamaica changed how the world recorded music as it relates to separating instruments, vocals and the beats, allowing beats/instrumental/version to be placed on the other side of the record which lead to toasting (what you see the guy doing at 2:20), which lead to dance hall, which lead to what we have now. I think it is fascinating how the evolution of this small genre from a small island in the middle of the Caribbean has influenced the world.

I'm so glad you guys explained everything as it is!! I get so tired of hearing that reggaeton is from Panama. While I am aware that we (Puerto Ricans) were influenced Panamanians and Jamaicans; reggaeton is still it's own music genre invented in Puerto Rico. It's a mixture of hip hop, dancehall, and rap.. Reggae en Español is from Panama. Something totally different. And if we wanna go even further, Hip Hop was invented in NY by Puerto Ricans and African Americans!!!!

@makeuthink2120 Год назад

Hip Hop was created by black americans, primarily from the bronx. Puerto Ricans definitely participated in the park jams and some were involved in the dj and rap elements. But it was in BBoying (break dancing) where they really left their contribution. It should be noted that Graffiti is NOT an element of Hip Hop. There has always been examples of what could be considered "graffiti" at different times and in different places. But the Graffiti that is known around the world started in Washington Heights, Manhattan in the late 1960's.

There were a lot of missing facts or rather changes and misunderstandings presented. Yes the panamanians that were making reggae en español mostly had Jamaican decent but they weren't just translating reggae tracks to Spanish. They were doing what artist today do and just use the same beats with their own lyrics which were in patois and Spanish. 2nd. The first Puerto Ricans that were introduced to the music were in panama in the clubs then took the music back to new York where it blew up even more. Pounder by bobo general and sleepy wonder came out in 88-89 and that's the current beat used in reggaeton. Nando boom a Panamanian used that same beat in 89-90 in a song called pension. Him and do general took that sound all over Latin America. Puerto Rico got that same beat and mixed it with old school hip Hop and changed the name. All if the music dancehall/reggae en español/reggaeton are sub genres of reggae.

My family, for example: Same parents, black older brother with back hair and brown eyes.My sister is white, brunette with green eyes and lots of freckles. I'm white, black hair and hazel eyes. it is a trend among puertorican families to be so divers because of our genetic roots.

@PRJProduction 6 лет назад

It is not only because of Puerto Ricans that this genre became widespread and used worldwide in the music industry. The Jamaican dancehall records of the late 80's and 90's were really populair in the Dutch Antilles in the Caribbean. They brought it over to the Netherlands and 2 DJ's from the Dutch Antilles DJ moortje & MC Pester speeded those dembow/dancehall up to 135 bpm and named it 'Bubbling'. They didn't even noticed that they were creating a new genre that infected the whole world. The most famous DJ's from Holland used Bubbling influence for their mainstream music. This is the reason why it became so populair because of the Dutch DJ's. This is also recognized by Wayne Marshall, he is a technomusicologist of Cambridge, MA. If it weren't for these two DJ's DJ moortje & MC Pester the music industry would be slighty different than it is now. There is a dutch documentairy called 'Bubbling Bandje 64' that gives us the information how Bubbling music was created and how it influenced the mainstream music.
