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.

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 😭😅😂

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 KZfaq 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. 😉

True reggaeton fans know that the first element originated in Jamaica, the famous dembow the frame work to reggaeton. In Panama, Jamaican influence spread and you hear the second elements to reggaeton, dancehall en español and reggae en español create a unique sound. 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.

I've been a HUGE Reggaeton fan for the past couple of years, and I've done so much research into the genere's complicated & diasporic history and it's absolutely fascinating. With the surge in popularity of Reggaeton music over the last few years many people have become such fans of it but largely don't realize the genere's important and historical Afro-Carribean roots. So I'm glad this video eloquently summarizes the historical importance Black people played in the birth of Reggaeton & how the music has evolved today!

It's simple, 95% of Reggaeton is 90's Dancehall. From the single beat to the vocal stylings. Jamaica is well known for Reggae, and outsiders tend to tag every sound from Jamaica as Reggae. So they either mistakenly or intentionally used the more popular name to brand the Spanish version of dancehall.

She's absolutely right about reggaeton not being made if not being because of Jamaica but at the end of the day reaggeaton sounds the same why Jamaican reggae has different beats. The implement different sounds and rhythms Y reggaeton uses the same beats over and over in numerous songs.

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.

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.
