What Is Reggaeton? 🥁
Reggaeton is a vibrant music genre that blends Latin rhythms, hip-hop, dancehall and reggae influences. Originating in Puerto Rico in the late 1990s, it quickly became a global movement.
At its core is the “Dem Bow” beat, a repetitive rhythm that drives reggaeton songs. Over time, artists have fused reggaeton with pop, trap and R&B to create new sounds that dominate charts around the world.
Today, reggaeton represents not only Latin music’s evolution but also empowerment, diversity, and fun, a rhythm that unites people across languages and borders.
The word “reggaeton” (or reguetón in Spanish) comes from the combination of “reggae” and the Spanish augmentative suffix “-tón”, which loosely means “big” or “strong.”
So, literally, reggaeton means “big reggae” or “powerful reggae.”
Reggae 🇯🇲 vs Reggaeton 🇵🇷
Although reggae and reggaeton share Caribbean roots, they’re very different genres.
- Reggae originated in Jamaica in the 1960s, with slower tempos, deep bass-lines, and socially conscious lyrics (think Bob Marley).
- Reggaeton, born decades later, borrowed reggae’s rhythm but added the Reggaeton beat, a faster beats, Spanish lyrics of course and an urban flair inspired by US hip-hop.
