Reggaeton

Reggaeton is a vibrant Latin urban genre originating in Puerto Rico in the late 1990s, evolving from Panama's reggae en español. It is defined by the signature dembow rhythm—a syncopated, bass-heavy pattern at 85-105 BPM. Featuring predominantly Spanish-language vocals often processed with auto-tune, it explores themes of nightlife, romance, and urban identity over electronic beats, deep 808 bass, and synthesizers, fueling dance styles like perreo.
