Reggaeton is a type of urban music very well known in Latin Countries and has started to be known in the music business.  Reggaeton is a blend of Jamaican reggae and dancehall with Hispanic rhythms and hip hop.

There is a controversy of whether this rhythm is originally from Panama or Puerto Rico. We are not sure where it actually originated, but we can say that it all started in Panama when Jamaicans were brought to Panama to collaborate in the construction of the Panama Canal around the early 20th century. The Panamanians adapted the Jamaican music styles and created the Spanish version of reggae. The first Spanish Reggae was recorded around 1970 by Panamanian artists that later introduced this gender to Puerto Rico.

The first popular Spanish Reggae song was “Son Bow” or “Dembaw” (They Bow) recorder by Panamanian artist El General in 1991. El General is known as the Father of Reggaeton. Though he didn’t get the respect he deserved among the audiences, he made a tremendous contribution to this gender that is very well recognize among his fellow singers.

Meanwhile in Puerto Rico, hip hop was already in the streets and Spanish Reggae was started to become popular. This combination of these two styles and the inclusion of few other musical genres made the perfect blend to create a new style of Spanish Reggae that we know as Reggaeton. 

Reggaeton started to become popular during the mid 90’s in all Latin Countries, specially Puerto Rico and Panama. But it wasn’t until 2003-2004 that it made an impact in the Latin youth in the United States. It was then that this genre exploded and started expanding around the world.

Nowadays being very popular, Reggaeton is a genre of its own and is played everywhere you go from night clubs to bars to strip clubs and many other places of relaxation and fun.

The combination of the rhythms in Reggaeton makes this a very sexy and erotic dance. Women all over the world like to dance to this genre because of the freedom and sensuality that they can use to dance to it. From booty shaking to hip movements and the sexiness of its steps, Reggaeton has become very popular. You can let your imagination flow as you get involve with the beat and very contagious rhythm of this genre. A lot of women like to touch their bodies and their partners’ bodies while dancing to this kind of music. Many men like women to place their bottoms right on top of their private parts so they can feel the heat and sexuality of this dance; some women love to feel men getting excited, which will usually happen if you let yourself go with the music. You can even perform striptease or pole dance with this genre!

Whether they are dancing or singing the songs, Reggaeton has become a form of expression for young people around the world. No matter where or when it all started, Reggaeton is not going anywhere!
