the guy who created reggaeton
who is PANAMAINIAN Jose:What chu talking about Reggaeton came from puerto rico
Ishmael: no jackass, its from panama. El General came up with it when he combined jamaican reggae and the typical salsa, merengue, latin pop, bachata and so on. Since there are more puerto rican artists in reggaeton catagory, dont mean that they can claim it. Go read a book. |

Reggaeton (also spelled Regueton or with an accent) is a Latin style of music. Reggaeton is Panamanian, but has grown to be more associated with "Boricuas" (Puerto Ricans), some claiming the genre as their own. It is characterized by a certain beat called "dem bow", which is a traditional Carribean beat but was first popularized by dancehall musician Shabba Ranks's song with a title of the same name. An example of the beat can be heard on that song or simply defined as A-A-B (or ch-ch-bass) or B-B-A (bass, bass, ch). Its influences include Hip hop, techno and Reggae dancehall, and touches of merengue, salsa, bachata, bolero and other Latin music can be featured. Unlike reggae, it does not use "riddims", instrumentals created by producers who can be used by any artists, most of the time, but exceptions can be made, such as Deejay Sasha and Ivy Queen's "Dat Sexy Body", which uses the Bookshelf Riddim originating from Reggae dancehall artist Beenie Man.

a genre of music which was previously known simply as Spanish Reggae. Artist known as El General from Panama and other pioneer artists began the movement which sounded like the Jamaican Reggae of that time. The Spanish Reggae classic "Te ves buena" by El general is actually the "Hmm...Mommie, Mommie" dancehall joint. "El Gran Pana" is the spanish version of "Don Dadda" These early Spanish Reggae classics even made their way into the Jamaican Reggae scene. This genre has evolved to what is now called Reggaeton and its pure garbage. Annoying choruses and high pitched voices attempting to rap over very simple beats which all sound the same make this the worst genre of music I've ever heard. By the way I am a Latino. Latinos were listening to Rap, Hip Hop and (true) Reggae until this Reggaeton went commercial. Anyone who knows music knows this is music at its worst! Props to the pioneers of this music who stayed true to the form but this new generation of Spanish Reggae sucks. Hopefully it will die out in at least another year. If it is so good why are the Latino Djs the only ones promoting this Basura(Garbage)? Reggaeton music is for the retards with no taste in music. "I listen to Reggaeton because every other immigrant is listening to it too" Create your own original music and stop biting off of other's ideas and saying it in spanish.

Like someone wrote before, it's the worst genre I've ever heard, pure garbage.
It came from the spanish reggae, wich is not bad, the lyrics talk about women and sex, obviously, but also the kind of relations that this people from central America have. There is one artist that made this music popular, his name is Edgardo A. Franco but he is known as "El General", he sings in a very unique way and has been the most imitated artist in this genre. But he's not part of this reggaeton thing. Reggaeton is annoying and I consider it is music for ignorants. Reggaeton is garbage, don't listen to it.

A small suburb of Phoenix, Arizona. Known for a few things such as: a large Hispanic population, teenage pregnancies, a poor educational system, and well sketch personalities. There are far and few good people, but mostly likely you will find chismosas, women with loose morals, and ghetto people in general. They are the laughing stock of Maricopa County. The police department had to be dismantled and rebuilt just a few years ago for corruption. The mismanagement of the city includes stealing city funds, corruption, and a plenty social issues to go around. One thing is for sure if you ever need a day laborer just stop at the intersection of Grand and Greenway. I am from El Mirage, I had a baby at the age of 15, I have little education, and now I am a burden to the government due to my poor upbringing.
