Marcus Garvey i think its because its more interesting and appealing to go to mexico, or colombia or dominican republic or brazil or argentina or peru or chile. Also they are expensive to go to these countries.
@ 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 ....
Raggaeton was always there but i think Daddy yankee's songs specially "Gasolina" got the attention of the people towards it. And now the most viewed music video on youtube is "Despacito" which is of Raggaeton genre.
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.
With reggaeton currently at the worlds center stage, it seems not many have noticed the Cumbia pop (cheta also called cheta cumbia) craze in Argentina and especially in Uruguay. Cumbia pop bands are being churned out big time in Uruguay. This particular music genre seems to be spreading North. Anyway an example - th-cam.com/video/a2nUa_iqv4M/w-d-xo.html - Another example - th-cam.com/video/ItIx36X5b3Q/w-d-xo.html
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.
Blacks in America were already chatting/talking/chanting over a beat by then. Hip hop is not derived from Jamaica, but from African Americans music. Yes they had a little influence from Caribbeans because hip hop was from south Bronx were blacks and Caribbeans lived together
Reggaetón has always fascinated me from a "melting pot" perspective. Like Santería, its a genuine Afro-Latinx creation. ✊🏿🇯🇲🇵🇦🇵🇷✊🏾 01:30: Ah, "Gasolina"... the song NO ONE will admit to liking, but EVERYONE will 💃to.
yandel 321 I'd ask how Jamaican-originated music style translated through Panamanian & Puerto Rican styles ISN'T Afro-Latinx - seriously, it's 100% Caribbean - but... I don't engage with avatar-free trolls.
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.
Jamaicans in the comments trying so hard to feel included in the Latino culture. 🤣🤣 Nobody in the world listens to or cares about dancehall. Reggaeton is uniquely Puerto Rican.
I LOVE this video so much. Would you guys consider adding "Reggaeton" to the title somehow to maybe improve its search ranking so more people can potentially come across it?
Absolutely support, but I hate the idea of Edm being used a genre when it's a catch all phrase with many different types of genres. It just goes to show how white people consider themselves the only ones in the room.
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 TH-cam 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. 😉
Yeah, there was definitely a moment back in 2001-2004 where reggaeton and dancehall music peaked and hit the mainstream for a little bit. Soca music was starting to get their shine on at the same time as well. I think Daddy Yankee was in the top 10 for highest grossing tour in 2022. Might have been his farewell tour. Not sure. @@sweetie4148
It starts with Jamaica,They came to Panama to work on the Canal, brought their food and music, Most of them stayed in Panama.... When Dancehall came out in the 80's, the Panamanians took those beats and stated singing in Spanish .. and the birth of Reggaeton
@@pr192001 wrong, we made more popular. When the topic of reggeaton is talked, puerto ricans are mentioned. Puerto rico kep working with the same elements and we kept paving the way.

Not really. Reggaeton is a dembow beat with a rapper. Panamá was singing reggae in Spanish. Puerto Rico was doing rap in Spanish and combined rap with the dembow beat
there's a lot of confusion in the comments. reggaeton is not dancehall. that's a separate genre, you can even find dancehall in Spanish. reggaeton is dancehall, rap, house and salsa mixed together. there are also a bunch of subgenres that mixes in more genres.
*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.
Reggeton in not dancehall im jamaican and my dad told me years ago reggeton is a fusion so just leave it alone reggeton has elements of dancehall but they are not the same thing
Issa G Dancehall light years ahead, been took over. Reggaeton finally getting a spot on top, never say that foolishness again. I’m half and half so zero bias here, listen to reggaeton more. But never come with that foolish statement again, realize Sean Paul can drop another hit at any moment. Similar to Iglesias and Pitbull. J Balvin, Nicky, Badbunny, Ozuna, Maluma coming up off of features from rap artists. Please never say reggaeton is taking over. It’s still very niche
You also are lost. Those are not influences of reggaeton (at least at its beginning) except for rap. They do terrible lyrics, but they sure had rap as one main influence. They have nothing at all from salsa. Don't ever say such a nasty thing.
Jamaica is the Greece of the Caribbean the cultural influence of the island reach far and wide and created hip hop, EDM reggaeton and much more music genres
@@queenbbeaute2654 Thank you. And these Latinos are saying some super hateful stuff about the Black Americans they stole thier style, sound and identity from.
Luis Mendoza WRONG!!!!! so Panama created reggae too buddy? I do believe Puerto Rican’s Started Reggaeton, do YOUR research and come with some sources buddy?
Hip hop reggaeton edm dub step are all off shoots of dancehall/reggae and its kinda sad to see that we as Jamaicans and dancehall/reggae as a genre we don’t get that respect and it’s sad to say dancehall/reggae is the forgotten genre 😞🤦🏽♂️
@@ellebelle2507 I have relatives in the uk and friends as well dancehall/reggae is appreciated in the uk no doubt about that but the genre isn’t respected by the Americans and even by the Spanish speaking Caribbean and the Afro beats artist to some extent. the 2 Dj girls are complaining about the white washing and about the root and this and that when latino Caribbean isn’t even the branch muchless. Jamaicans I.e. the pioneers should be given more recognition
So you guys in Philippines have just as boring of a taste in music as Latin America, well done 👍 nothing like listening to the same beat 20 songs in a row
Reggaeton has become so mainstream that latin pop stars are singing it while more hardcore reggaetoners are doing trap with lyrics that are even more raw and sexual.
Where did you get the idea that one person claimed to have invented bachata in Dominican Republic? That is not true , bachata was not invented by any single person. Like most music, bachata is an evolution of certain sounds and rythms over time.
Jamaica is the Mecca of music. Reggaeton came from Jamaica and Dancehall. Hip Hop came from Jamaica and Dancehall. Check the history.. you're welcome World. 🇯🇲🇯🇲
Jon Snow That's ok, math geniuses are cool too, and they're needed (just as much as genius musicians).. and there's alot of math involved in music too, so it's all good. I think music geniuses get their fair share of appreciation. #OneLove
Thanks Skrooge. These Jamaicans are so weird, they rather claim hip hop than learn about the hundreds of diverse genres in their own country. They don't want to know about folk, maroon, (creole) Indian, ballroom, etc genres, rather these Jamaicans on TH-cam want to claim hip hop! What sad
Asus Warriors Hip hop came from disco and funk, it can even be argued that reggae wouldnt exist if it wasn't for American rhythm and blues. In the 1950s the national music of Jamaica was Mento which has it's roots in Trinidadian calypso
HelloIamJamaican Lol funny thing is, I'll leave you both to argue amongst yourselves. I've done my research (professionally). I can only hope that you do yours. Even hip hop artistes know that the origins of hip hop comes from Jamaica, dancehall and Jamaican sound system culture. There are many documentaries that also acknowledge this as fact. But I'll leave it at that. I'm not debating none of you people when you haven't done your homework. Keep talking lol. #OneLove
Asus warrior my parents are Jamaicans, my mother is from Marley in Spanish Town and my Father is from Half way Tree in Kingston you don't wanna debate because you fear you mat be proven wrong
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.
Now remember panama was latin reggae and dancehall, here in Puerto Rico we invented the genre Reggaeton. Not taking credit from Jamaica or Panama they were obviously inspiration to do it 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇵🇦 🇵🇦🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
@@PH-xw1ri Puerto Rico gave it its name. But the music itself is Jamaican; and Panamanians were first to record to it in Spanish. Today Puerto Ricans dominate.
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.
Absolutely loved this video! 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 mutated 90s Dancehall riddims (beats) from Jamaica with spanish lyrics. Started in Panama made it's way to Puerto Rico and now the original style of reggaeton is popular in Dominican Republic becoming dembow which is the name of a song by Shabba ranks on the riddim reggaeton & dembow is mostly based on, pocoman jam riddim.
But Reggaeton is Puerto Rican. Panama where the first to do reggae in spanish but reggaeton was invited in PR🇵🇷. We mixed hip hop and reggae. I hate when people try to discredit PR🇵🇷 for what we did.
@@alexcfpr they just created the name "Reggaeton" = Reggae Marston; but the bases were already created in Jamaica with Dancehall, then the genre was introduced in Panama to the Spanish language, but Puerto Rico "stole" the formula and make it Mainstream with Daddy Yankee song: "La Gasolina" to become the mainstream music in Latin America, some parts of Europe and a less but also in the United States. Then we arrive to 2017 with "Despacito" and Reggaeton is one of the most Popular (sub)genres in the planet (even if you like it or not).
@@alexcfpr No reggaeton is actually panamanian the term was coined by jaime davidson/ michael ellis in NYC he explains it in a interview from jprison whuch can be found on youtube
How can one say something is theirs when all they did was mix it from two musics styles that come from another people who at the same time they think they are better than. Twilight zone. Everyone is in denial when it comes to us. Its quite beautiful actually.
Hands down Jamaicaaa!!! I’m Puerto Rican but thank you 🇯🇲 for the beautiful gift of reggaetton. And now let’s get this bleached music back to where it all started. Yes North America, HANDS OFF AND CALL IT FOR WHAT IT IS! IS CALLED REGGAETTON!!! NOT LATIN POP! IT IS NOOOOTTT POP!!!
I'm so glad you guys explained everything as it is!! I get so tired of hearing that reggaeton is from Panama. While I am aware that we (Puerto Ricans) were influenced Panamanians and Jamaicans; reggaeton is still it's own music genre invented in Puerto Rico. It's a mixture of hip hop, dancehall, and rap.. Reggae en Español is from Panama. Something totally different. And if we wanna go even further, Hip Hop was invented in NY by Puerto Ricans and African Americans!!!!
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.
New york is definetly the boiling pot for artistry. The clash of cultures really makes amazing art that everyone is able to enjoy regardless of cultural background.
I remember being introduced to Reggaeton on Mun2 way back in like 2002. Ivy Queen was always being blasted on my speaker, amongst other artists. I always like how they would give credit to the Afro influence. Mad respect.
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.
el general is mentioned in the video @ 2:57 this is his wki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_General n dj kool herc is a "DJ who is credited with helping originate hip hop" this is wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Kool_Herc
@@snixxdevaughn3267 If referring to Caribbean Americans with Hip-hop, yes. But if referring to Afro-americans, the you're diluting the term Caribbean too much.
I always wondered where this music came from. I was never a fan of it. But I gotta say the roots of this music are super strong and I would probably consider listening to the early stuff. Who know? Maybe I’ll become a fan some day.
xQueenofnothing yes, all genres of music repeat notes and chords and reutulize grooves specific to that genre, but most types of music complement that with multiple layers of instrumentation and at the very least change up the chord progression within a song even if those chords are common in that genre, reggaeton, for the most part with some exceptions like Calle 13, does none of those things. We need to stop coming up with excuses for the mediocrity and laziness of certain musicians, when people's standards lower is the exact moment when an entire genre's quality also starts to lower.
I'll never understand why people (non Africans in particular and people with white colonial ideals ) get upset when people of African descent ( Latin and English Americas , Caribbean , Africa) talk about our heritage . I can write I love hearing the Drums it reminds me of (insert African country ) and people will literally try to tell us ABOUT OUR OWN CULTURE ! Why do Africans make y'all feel so insecure . When Africans talk about our traditions and culture people seriously get pissed and even violent ........ People hate Africans but love our culture . I wish we could literally take everything we ever contributed to the world away from racist people and watch how miserable y'all life becomes.
I disagree most don't know a thing about African music because technology just spread worldwide before nobody knew a thing about Africans or what music they had and im speaking for the black dispora (enslaved) just like y'all aren't black ur african
@@queenbbeaute2654 Technology is a broad term and music from Continental Africans and Africans in the diaspora has been popular before my great grandmother was even born . Black American stars have been global well before 1920’s ….I’m not sure what you meant by the last comment neither
Big respect to all Jamaicans. We reggaetoneros know where it all started. No doubt about that. Big up Bob Marley, Big up Shabba Ranks. But Latin people are taking this reggaeton thing to a level no Jamaican artist(s) has ever seen b4 dead or alive (with the exception of Bob). Numbers don't lie. Peace.
Johnny Rutz your getting your reggaeton mix up with the mighty dancehall. Party animal is a Dancehall song written by Charly Black beats by Demarco produce by the technics. 😂
That is a real statement! Even when most of our grandparents were born as babies. Puerto Rico or Cuba will always seen as kings of Latin music in general
@@dieglhixThis is what the Spanish thought of samba, salsa and all innovations of Africans in Latin America. Nice to see nothing has changed with latinos

The history of brazilian Funk is pretty much like Raggaeton's... it is a sick beat that has not taken the world over yet, but it has a great potential for that! Make a video about it!
I wouldn’t say reggaeton is white washed. It’s just artist exploring different genres. It’s a good thing seeing a genre that was so heavily criticized to so loved by the gringos. I love seeing the genre that my people enjoy finally getting recognized by the mainstream in English speaking countries. If anything, we’re gonna start seeing Latino artists in English music charts next to Bieber and Taylor Swift. It’s already happening with Luis Fonsi for despscito and bad bunny and j balvin for I like It like that with Cardi B. ¡Viva Latinos!
MAN! This took me back in time when I was a young kid in PR, I would record a cassette with my boombox of all the stuff that EL COYOTE would play on "RAP & RAGGAE 96". It feels so good to see something I've loved from the beggining blow up and get the recognition it deserves.
You are saying that it was a race issue in the caserios as a "thing against the black community" when that has never being a thing in Puerto Rico. It can never be a matter of color because you can find black kids with white siblings. My family, for example: Same parents, black older brother with back hair and brown eyes.My sister is white, brunette with green eyes and lots of freckles. I'm white, black hair and hazel eyes. it is a trend among puertorican families to be so divers because of our genetic roots. I was born and raised in a caserio as well and let me tell you, you cannot find a more divers community than the barrios and caserios. So, stop making everything an issue about color or race.
This is a great example to show you that "cultural appropriation" isn't real. Most parts of whatever culture you are from is derived from another culture. We should stop pretending to be offended when someone outside of your culture imitates something from it. It should be celebrated. As long as the person gives credit to where they found it, it's all good. It doesn't matter if a white, black, asian, latino, purple whatever race or ethnicity. People who scream cultural appropriation at everything are either ignorant to that fact or are supporters of a segregation. They want to people to stay in the corners and be hostile against anyone borrowing or sharing culture. It's ironic the fact that they claim they are doing it for the sake of diversity when it's really anything but.

I agree with a lot of things you say but I wouldn't say cultural appropriation isn't real, it happens, it's just that not so much and it's never black or white (for instance, in the beginning of jazz music, black performers where banned from a lot of places where white performers where allowed, because the audience wanted the music without the culture behind, but that dind't make every white perfomer a cultural appropiator). The other thing you are saying is similar to concepts like interculturality and that is great, you could check that out.
Julia Sepúlveda it is real but what i meant by that was it's mostly no longer in western culture today...it doesn't happen as much anymore. It was very much real back in the days. It's still very real in parts of the world like the Philippines and other untra racist countries. I am not saying racism doesn't exist anymore in the west by the way. In fact i hate when people call out non cultural appropriation cases because i feel like it weakens the meaning of the word and real cases of it never get called out.
Bus Rider and Julia you both need to consider you impression that it doesn't happen as much or not in western culture is the moat egregious part of appropriation, it's "admired" all the way away from it's place and peoples of origin and no respect or homage is paid to those originates by the majority of the mainstream population. How can you hate, discriminate against or look down on people that made something you love and respect? It's not easy, so you just erase or overlook their contributions, thereby appropriating the art from them, so you still may segregate and discriminate while allowing people to deny the deeper reality. Please fully open your eyes, it's what people are taught to do: either participate making the predominant views proliferate OR deny the issue even exists and if so, only marginally. Either allows for continued problems and hurt because no black person would care if someone admired and imitated their art if they had respect and a voice in society. No influential hiphop labels are even ran by the people who make the music like they were in the 80s and early 90s and the change is both subtle and stark if you look closely: more colorism against female artists, no political content being given financial backing and basically a perpetuation of stereotypes that are in turn internalized and solidified just like a modern minstrel show. It goes on and on, if the attributes are too respectable they are estranged from the group that originated them as long as society still considers them less than and society makes them a caricature reducing it only to something they cannot fully participate in or they can garner success only if they act out the one-dimensional role of degradation scripted for them that reinforces there flaws but the admirers doing the same are just described in terms that show them less core disrespect or even public admiration for their imitations.
I remember early 2000's Jamaican music was every where while people use to make fun of us cause daddy Yankee Gasolina song and are music was not even getting any recognition but look at us now we getting all the recognition and are music is every where now 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Finally jamaican getting the regonition, most Latinos act like jamaican music no play a big part in reggaeton, the name allyah come from reggae ,without dancehall and reggae you ppl music could be nothing
It is not only because of Puerto Ricans that this genre became widespread and used worldwide in the music industry. The Jamaican dancehall records of the late 80's and 90's were really populair in the Dutch Antilles in the Caribbean. They brought it over to the Netherlands and 2 DJ's from the Dutch Antilles DJ moortje & MC Pester speeded those dembow/dancehall up to 135 bpm and named it 'Bubbling'. They didn't even noticed that they were creating a new genre that infected the whole world. The most famous DJ's from Holland used Bubbling influence for their mainstream music. This is the reason why it became so populair because of the Dutch DJ's. This is also recognized by Wayne Marshall, he is a technomusicologist of Cambridge, MA. If it weren't for these two DJ's DJ moortje & MC Pester the music industry would be slighty different than it is now. There is a dutch documentairy called 'Bubbling Bandje 64' that gives us the information how Bubbling music was created and how it influenced the mainstream music.
Alright but the actual fashion right now is Dancehall (Sorry song, Work song, Shape Of You song) and reggaeton (Despacito song, Criminal song, Dura song), plus reggaeton comes from dancehall music and dancehall music comes from soca but afrobeats music too!
Panamanians invented reggaeton. I was in Panama in 1990. I know. The 'Coca Cola Song'. 'El General' was popping. 'Gabby' oh my. Of course, Jamaican influence is there but it was in Spanish. It was actually a country influence in some of the tracks. Hell, I went downtown and got me a mixtape in one hour and some plus of reggae. Shit, I know we jammed. Alright now you know, peace out.
@@drwho9319 Daddy Yankee credits the artists from Panama for inspiration in his genre. Panama was more of the dancehall flavor like Shabba Ranks. The idea of importing that into Spanish was the Panamanians niche.
There were a lot of missing facts or rather changes and misunderstandings presented. Yes the panamanians that were making reggae en español mostly had Jamaican decent but they weren't just translating reggae tracks to Spanish. They were doing what artist today do and just use the same beats with their own lyrics which were in patois and Spanish. 2nd. The first Puerto Ricans that were introduced to the music were in panama in the clubs then took the music back to new York where it blew up even more. Pounder by bobo general and sleepy wonder came out in 88-89 and that's the current beat used in reggaeton. Nando boom a Panamanian used that same beat in 89-90 in a song called pension. Him and do general took that sound all over Latin America. Puerto Rico got that same beat and mixed it with old school hip Hop and changed the name. All if the music dancehall/reggae en español/reggaeton are sub genres of reggae.
@Jay L Google ? Lol.. Most PRs dont even know the cultural reggae exchange from jamaican producers and panamanian artist with the pounda riddim took place in NY th-cam.com/video/_sIiA7TA2GI/w-d-xo.html
@Jay L The basslines from dancehall the beat pattern. Dancehall. Dancehall has various riddim patterns. Stop doing reggaeton and stick to salsa. You confused
Check out the song that started it - Poco-man jam. Poco beats are an actual style of African based percussion rythms that are still played at religious "revival" gatherings in Jamaica.
originaldelta hehehe yeah listen to dembow shabba the real roots beats they copy they are very unoriginal I would think they use different rhythm from dancehall but they just use dembow, look in perreo and dembow they also copy dancehall dances
Soorry but DANCEHALL is JAMAICAN and has inspired latin artist REGGAETON is PUERTO RICAN also hiphop inspired reaggaeton but no one says reggeaton is from new york ?
Nubiamancy no the only one stupid here is you because you dont have the ability to understad what you read honey obviously reggaeTON is heavily inspired by reggae but it does not mean it started in jamaica ? They are different have you even heard a reggaeton song ? Cause you dont even seem to know that they are different. Reggeaton is not jamaica it has never played in jamaica its not part of jamaican cultured it started inspired by reggae but it is a different rithym so that started in puerto rico . I sugest you sart reading and understanding comments before you call someone stupid cause the only one that is stupid here is you loveee you
Nubiamancy btw the only similarities that reggaeton and reggae share at this point in time is the name but if every single styled that has taken from jamaican culture is jamaican then i guess music is jamaican . Congrats if thats what u wanted to hear dummie
Puerto Rico did NOT create the genre lol 🤣 even the dembow/poco man jam riddim is copy written by Jamaican producers Steele and clevie (Cleveland Brown)
America is so obsessed with race...it's not even a joke, race race race everything is about race...and the weirdest part is, they often times don't even know what the cultural and historical backgrounds attached to certain races are, everything they do know for sure is what certain groups tend to eat so everything will be about food....jamaicans, hell yea...let's talk 2 hours about oxtail rice and beans...italian yeah let's talk spaghetti and pizza...damn it's kinda funny but it's also kinda annoying . I really enjoyed the documentary tho at least they get the musical aspect straight hahaha
Races don't exist biologically so there is absolutely no point to talk about it. I agree with you, some people are so obsessed with a concept which doesn't even exist. I really hope that there will be some changes in the future.
Was Selena's Techno cumbia a push toward acceptance of reggaeton and maybe also bidibidibombom. Both have reggae influences. This was in the 90s too when reggaeton wasn't a major genre. Selena and her band liked incorporating sounds from different genres. There's a pic of Selena with Jamaican-like braids.

@ 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 ....
STOP TROLLING
Thank you for shining light on my Jamaican people who created this sound and made it big. We don’t get a lot of representation.👏🏾
Jamaica is the roots of everything
its literally in the name "raggae"
Raggaeton was always there but i think Daddy yankee's songs specially "Gasolina" got the attention of the people towards it. And now the most viewed music video on youtube is "Despacito" which is of Raggaeton genre.
Abu Ahmed
Amr Diab used it in "Rohy Mertahalk" song as well

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.
It's Funny how "yandel321" says reggaeton is a "stupid genre" while his using the name of a reggaeton artist: Yandel. XD
With reggaeton currently at the worlds center stage, it seems not many have noticed the Cumbia pop (cheta also called cheta cumbia) craze in Argentina and especially in Uruguay. Cumbia pop bands are being churned out big time in Uruguay. This particular music genre seems to be spreading North. Anyway an example - th-cam.com/video/a2nUa_iqv4M/w-d-xo.html - Another example - th-cam.com/video/ItIx36X5b3Q/w-d-xo.html
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.

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.
No most reggaeton fans do not know. Some even look at people weird playing dancehall music that they percieve as reggaeton

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 TH-cam 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. 😉
Yeah, there was definitely a moment back in 2001-2004 where reggaeton and dancehall music peaked and hit the mainstream for a little bit.

yandel 321 Panama is Spanish reggae and Puerto Rico is Reggaeton an evolution from Spanish reggae. Facts are facts.
Not really. Reggaeton is a dembow beat with a rapper. Panamá was singing reggae in Spanish. Puerto Rico was doing rap in Spanish and combined rap with the dembow beat
Puerto Rican's were the first to do Spanish rap then combined with reggueton
I better see Jamaica mentioned in this 😤🇯🇲 Edit: I’m satisfied, they mentioned Jamaica 😌 we really need our recognition 🇯🇲🇯🇲.
there's a lot of confusion in the comments. reggaeton is not dancehall. that's a separate genre, you can even find dancehall in Spanish. reggaeton is dancehall, rap, house and salsa mixed together. there are also a bunch of subgenres that mixes in more genres.
*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.
Reggeton in not dancehall im jamaican and my dad told me years ago reggeton is a fusion so just leave it alone reggeton has elements of dancehall but they are not the same thing
Issa G Dancehall light years ahead, been took over. Reggaeton finally getting a spot on top, never say that foolishness again. I’m half and half so zero bias here, listen to reggaeton more. But never come with that foolish statement again, realize Sean Paul can drop another hit at any moment. Similar to Iglesias and Pitbull. J Balvin, Nicky, Badbunny, Ozuna, Maluma coming up off of features from rap artists. Please never say reggaeton is taking over. It’s still very niche
@Bochom Ed Oncol Hip hop is a weirdly define music genre since its based on vocal style and not instrumentation. Bad comparison.
You also are lost. Those are not influences of reggaeton (at least at its beginning) except for rap. They do terrible lyrics, but they sure had rap as one main influence. They have nothing at all from salsa. Don't ever say such a nasty thing.
You missed out on how reggaeton became popular, through the 2000s by Puerto Rican artists.
Pe M I wonder why it stop being popular in 2008.
It got repetitive. Last two years have seen an enormous comeback due to how reggaeton reinvented itself to fit into American mainstream media.

Hip hop came from disco and funk, it can even be argued that reggae wouldnt exist if it wasn't for American rhythm and blues. In the 1950s the national music of Jamaica was Mento which has it's roots in Trinidadian calypso
HelloIamJamaican Lol funny thing is, I'll leave you both to argue amongst yourselves. I've done my research (professionally). I can only hope that you do yours. Even hip hop artistes know that the origins of hip hop comes from Jamaica, dancehall and Jamaican sound system culture. There are many documentaries that also acknowledge this as fact.

Asus warrior my parents are Jamaicans, my mother is from Marley in Spanish Town and my Father is from Half way Tree in Kingston you don't wanna debate because you fear you mat be proven wrong
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.

Absolutely loved this video! 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!
Using the same beat on every song is anything but complicated lol 🤨 wtf?
It's mutated 90s Dancehall riddims (beats) from Jamaica with spanish lyrics. Started in Panama made it's way to Puerto Rico and now the original style of reggaeton is popular in Dominican Republic becoming dembow which is the name of a song by Shabba ranks on the riddim reggaeton & dembow is mostly based on, pocoman jam riddim.
It was brought to Panama from Jamaican immigrants.

I'm so glad you guys explained everything as it is!! I get so tired of hearing that reggaeton is from Panama. While I am aware that we (Puerto Ricans) were influenced Panamanians and Jamaicans; reggaeton is still it's own music genre invented in Puerto Rico. It's a mixture of hip hop, dancehall, and rap.. Reggae en Español is from Panama. Something totally different. And if we wanna go even further, Hip Hop was invented in NY by Puerto Ricans and African Americans!!!!
Hip hop was not invented by African Americans but African Jamaicans
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.

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.

Hagamos El Amor con la Ropa is my first memory of Reggaeton in the early 2000's in Queens, NY
I always wondered where this music came from. I was never a fan of it. But I gotta say the roots of this music are super strong and I would probably consider listening to the early stuff. Who know? Maybe I’ll become a fan some day.
yeah, it would be nice if they didn't recycle the same beat pattern over and over again for the last 40 years though
all music does that. heard of the four-chord song?
Then is wouldn’t be Reggaeton
I bet you wouldn't be saying this about rock or metal.
xQueenofnothing yes, all genres of music repeat notes and chords and reutulize grooves specific to that genre, but most types of music complement that with multiple layers of instrumentation and at the very least change up the chord progression within a song even if those chords are common in that genre, reggaeton, for the most part with some exceptions like Calle 13, does none of those things. We need to stop coming up with excuses for the mediocrity and laziness of certain musicians, when people's standards lower is the exact moment when an entire genre's quality also starts to lower.

The history of brazilian Funk is pretty much like Raggaeton's... it is a sick beat that has not taken the world over yet, but it has a great potential for that! Make a video about it!
No it isn't. Brasilian funk has ties to angolas kudaro and other afro beat rythyms
I hope so! As a Puerto Rican, I love Brazilians!
El General ... the originator !!!!!
El General was no original. He simply made Jamaican music but in spanish.
I wouldn’t say reggaeton is white washed. It’s just artist exploring different genres. It’s a good thing seeing a genre that was so heavily criticized to so loved by the gringos. I love seeing the genre that my people enjoy finally getting recognized by the mainstream in English speaking countries. If anything, we’re gonna start seeing Latino artists in English music charts next to Bieber and Taylor Swift. It’s already happening with Luis Fonsi for despscito and bad bunny and j balvin for I like It like that with Cardi B. ¡Viva Latinos!
Every single reggaeton song sounds the exact same
The power of black music
Ex-Muslima L Yes!
Ex-Muslima L you mean jamaican music.
*JAMAICAN, do you want to take credit as if a whole race created it?
Bochom Ed Oncol reggaeton started in panama
Bochom Ed Oncol its black music with afro orgins. we know this afro americans love latinos
Not gonna lie, I'm so tired to the reggaeton beat. It makes everything sound the same.
True
MAN! This took me back in time when I was a young kid in PR, I would record a cassette with my boombox of all the stuff that EL COYOTE would play on "RAP & RAGGAE 96". It feels so good to see something I've loved from the beggining blow up and get the recognition it deserves.
You are saying that it was a race issue in the caserios as a "thing against the black community" when that has never being a thing in Puerto Rico. It can never be a matter of color because you can find black kids with white siblings. My family, for example: Same parents, black older brother with back hair and brown eyes.My sister is white, brunette with green eyes and lots of freckles. I'm white, black hair and hazel eyes. it is a trend among puertorican families to be so divers because of our genetic roots. I was born and raised in a caserio as well and let me tell you, you cannot find a more divers community than the barrios and caserios. So, stop making everything an issue about color or race.
@Mr. Bi Rucho He's pushing the "Latino is a race" false theory.
Race is not an issue un puerto rico
FACTS
This is a great example to show you that "cultural appropriation" isn't real. Most parts of whatever culture you are from is derived from another culture. We should stop pretending to be offended when someone outside of your culture imitates something from it. It should be celebrated. As long as the person gives credit to where they found it, it's all good. It doesn't matter if a white, black, asian, latino, purple whatever race or ethnicity. People who scream cultural appropriation at everything are either ignorant to that fact or are supporters of a segregation. They want to people to stay in the corners and be hostile against anyone borrowing or sharing culture. It's ironic the fact that they claim they are doing it for the sake of diversity when it's really anything but.

I agree with a lot of things you say but I wouldn't say cultural appropriation isn't real, it happens, it's just that not so much and it's never black or white (for instance, in the beginning of jazz music, black performers where banned from a lot of places where white performers where allowed, because the audience wanted the music without the culture behind, but that dind't make every white perfomer a cultural appropiator). The other thing you are saying is similar to concepts like interculturality and that is great, you could check that out.
Julia Sepúlveda it is real but what i meant by that was it's mostly no longer in western culture today...it doesn't happen as much anymore. It was very much real back in the days. It's still very real in parts of the world like the Philippines and other untra racist countries. I am not saying racism doesn't exist anymore in the west by the way. In fact i hate when people call out non cultural appropriation cases because i feel like it weakens the meaning of the word and real cases of it never get called out.
Bus Rider and Julia you both need to consider you impression that it doesn't happen as much or not in western culture is the moat egregious part of appropriation, it's "admired" all the way away from it's place and peoples of origin and no respect or homage is paid to those originates by the majority of the mainstream population. How can you hate, discriminate against or look down on people that made something you love and respect? It's not easy, so you just erase or overlook their contributions, thereby appropriating the art from them, so you still may segregate and discriminate while allowing people to deny the deeper reality. Please fully open your eyes, it's what people are taught to do: either participate making the predominant views proliferate OR deny the issue even exists and if so, only marginally. Either allows for continued problems and hurt because no black person would care if someone admired and imitated their art if they had respect and a voice in society. No influential hiphop labels are even ran by the people who make the music like they were in the 80s and early 90s and the change is both subtle and stark if you look closely: more colorism against female artists, no political content being given financial backing and basically a perpetuation of stereotypes that are in turn internalized and solidified just like a modern minstrel show. It goes on and on, if the attributes are too respectable they are estranged from the group that originated them as long as society still considers them less than and society makes them a caricature reducing it only to something they cannot fully participate in or they can garner success only if they act out the one-dimensional role of degradation scripted for them that reinforces there flaws but the admirers doing the same are just described in terms that show them less core disrespect or even public admiration for their imitations.
@@KoreaMojo Your schizophrenic world must be fun to live in
I remember early 2000's Jamaican music was every where while people use to make fun of us cause daddy Yankee Gasolina song and are music was not even getting any recognition but look at us now we getting all the recognition and are music is every where now 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Still remember getting my first reggaeton CD. It was Luny Tunes...Mas Flow.
“Gasolina” is the shit! As is basically anything by Don Omar!
Best Documentary on the origins of Reggaeton..
thank god they talked about panama!!
Started by Jamaica but take to another level because all these Spanish Countries love it that’s it
Finally jamaican getting the regonition, most Latinos act like jamaican music no play a big part in reggaeton, the name allyah come from reggae ,without dancehall and reggae you ppl music could be nothing
Because those people are most likely not from from Puerto Rico/Panama or Island for coastal Caribbean country
Nobody cares.
Dancehall is trash.
I’m a REGGAETON head from the heart I am crying thank youuuuu !!!!! 😩😭😭😭
It is not only because of Puerto Ricans that this genre became widespread and used worldwide in the music industry. The Jamaican dancehall records of the late 80's and 90's were really populair in the Dutch Antilles in the Caribbean. They brought it over to the Netherlands and 2 DJ's from the Dutch Antilles DJ moortje & MC Pester speeded those dembow/dancehall up to 135 bpm and named it 'Bubbling'. They didn't even noticed that they were creating a new genre that infected the whole world. The most famous DJ's from Holland used Bubbling influence for their mainstream music. This is the reason why it became so populair because of the Dutch DJ's. This is also recognized by Wayne Marshall, he is a technomusicologist of Cambridge, MA. If it weren't for these two DJ's DJ moortje & MC Pester the music industry would be slighty different than it is now. There is a dutch documentairy called 'Bubbling Bandje 64' that gives us the information how Bubbling music was created and how it influenced the mainstream music.
Reggaeton, bachata, salsa, Cumbia , merengue, etc are beautiful music
Will C they all come from Africa or African descendants
Guillermo Aguilar they all come from africa? again why obession over latin america with africa. again its just music
BLACK MUSIC
Juan Carlos Vilca Noriega nope, latino fetish
Guillermo Aguilar African? Wtf? Salsa started in New York and it was created by Puerto Rican’s...
Alright but the actual fashion right now is Dancehall (Sorry song, Work song, Shape Of You song) and reggaeton (Despacito song, Criminal song, Dura song), plus reggaeton comes from dancehall music and dancehall music comes from soca but afrobeats music too!
Reggaeton has dancehall elements but is not the same.
Yup don’t forget about the Nuyricans that brought that New York flow n swag back to the mainland.
Reggae music 🇯🇲 & the culture pretty much gave birth to Dancehall 🇯🇲, Grime 🇬🇧, Rap 🇺🇸, Reggae en Español 🇵🇦, Reggaeton🇵🇷, & Dembow 🇩🇴
Dembow ain't a genre it's a beat. Dominicans are just using reggaeton and making it faster.
Not hating on Dominicans their music is great but it's just 90's reggaeton it's just faster
@@alexcfpr Estás hablando puro disparate.
less drama, more TECHNO
Panamanians invented reggaeton. I was in Panama in 1990. I know. The 'Coca Cola Song'. 'El General' was popping. 'Gabby' oh my. Of course, Jamaican influence is there but it was in Spanish. It was actually a country influence in some of the tracks. Hell, I went downtown and got me a mixtape in one hour and some plus of reggae. Shit, I know we jammed. Alright now you know, peace out.
@@drwho9319 Daddy Yankee credits the artists from Panama for inspiration in his genre. Panama was more of the dancehall flavor like Shabba Ranks. The idea of importing that into Spanish was the Panamanians niche.
@@westman63 that’s a slap to the face to the Jamaicans tbh.
@@drwho9319 I've heard so great reggae and rap in German. Try Peter Fox and Seeed for example. th-cam.com/video/g6JYzOjglBs/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video. The story of Balie Funk from Brazil would great too. 😊🙌
There were a lot of missing facts or rather changes and misunderstandings presented. Yes the panamanians that were making reggae en español mostly had Jamaican decent but they weren't just translating reggae tracks to Spanish. They were doing what artist today do and just use the same beats with their own lyrics which were in patois and Spanish. 2nd. The first Puerto Ricans that were introduced to the music were in panama in the clubs then took the music back to new York where it blew up even more. Pounder by bobo general and sleepy wonder came out in 88-89 and that's the current beat used in reggaeton. Nando boom a Panamanian used that same beat in 89-90 in a song called pension. Him and do general took that sound all over Latin America. Puerto Rico got that same beat and mixed it with old school hip Hop and changed the name. All if the music dancehall/reggae en español/reggaeton are sub genres of reggae.
Michael ellis coined the term reggaeton not PRS
@Jay L no it wasnt.. Actually michael ellis took it there. There is nothing about reggaeton thats original. Reggaeton means big reggae
@Jay L Google ? Lol.. Most PRs dont even know the cultural reggae exchange from jamaican producers and panamanian artist with the pounda riddim took place in NY
th-cam.com/video/_sIiA7TA2GI/w-d-xo.html
@Jay L if you say so if thats the case reggaeton would have been used from the start. Remember it was shunned because it wasnt real PR music
@Jay L The basslines from dancehall the beat pattern. Dancehall. Dancehall has various riddim patterns.
Stop doing reggaeton and stick to salsa. You confused
Check out the song that started it - Poco-man jam. Poco beats are an actual style of African based percussion rythms that are still played at religious "revival" gatherings in Jamaica.
Reggaeton is dance hall just copied by Latinos because they liked the beats but couldn't understand Jamaicans.Simple.
originaldelta hehehe yeah listen to dembow shabba the real roots beats they copy they are very unoriginal I would think they use different rhythm from dancehall but they just use dembow, look in perreo and dembow they also copy dancehall dances
Pretty much
Latinos made better world-wide recognized tho. Takr that
Guillermo Aguilar what latinos? u do realize in latin america. most people hate reggaeton
de g u do realize in our countries noy everyone is afro latino and also u do realize term latino isnt use in our countries
I really appreciated this! This channel always comes with compelling content!
Can you explore Trap music?
Soorry but DANCEHALL is JAMAICAN and has inspired latin artist REGGAETON is PUERTO RICAN also hiphop inspired reaggaeton but no one says reggeaton is from new york ?
Nubiamancy no the only one stupid here is you because you dont have the ability to understad what you read honey obviously reggaeTON is heavily inspired by reggae but it does not mean it started in jamaica ? They are different have you even heard a reggaeton song ? Cause you dont even seem to know that they are different. Reggeaton is not jamaica it has never played in jamaica its not part of jamaican cultured it started inspired by reggae but it is a different rithym so that started in puerto rico . I sugest you sart reading and understanding comments before you call someone stupid cause the only one that is stupid here is you loveee you
Nubiamancy btw the only similarities that reggaeton and reggae share at this point in time is the name but if every single styled that has taken from jamaican culture is jamaican then i guess music is jamaican . Congrats if thats what u wanted to hear dummie
My Island 🏝 Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Jamaican dancehall -> Panamanian dancehall -> Puerto Ricans fused it with hip hop and there you go!
That's right. I hate when people try to discredit PR 🇵🇷 for the music genre that we created simple
@@drwho9319 yeah, Spanish and a few cultural tweaks are the only differences
Puerto Rico did NOT create the genre lol 🤣 even the dembow/poco man jam riddim is copy written by Jamaican producers Steele and clevie (Cleveland Brown)
Also, that Justin Bieber - Sorry and Ed Sheeran - Shape of You is from dancehall actually..
Afrobeats
@@MrSivram28 nope
Listen to Techno Cumbia by Selena… as a kid it was a weird song but it allll makes sense now… I believe she introduced Mexicans to this type of genre.
America is so obsessed with race...it's not even a joke, race race race everything is about race...and the weirdest part is, they often times don't even know what the cultural and historical backgrounds attached to certain races are, everything they do know for sure is what certain groups tend to eat so everything will be about food....jamaicans, hell yea...let's talk 2 hours about oxtail rice and beans...italian yeah let's talk spaghetti and pizza...damn it's kinda funny but it's also kinda annoying . I really enjoyed the documentary tho at least they get the musical aspect straight hahaha
Races don't exist biologically so there is absolutely no point to talk about it. I agree with you, some people are so obsessed with a concept which doesn't even exist. I really hope that there will be some changes in the future.
Was Selena's Techno cumbia a push toward acceptance of reggaeton and maybe also bidibidibombom. Both have reggae influences. This was in the 90s too when reggaeton wasn't a major genre. Selena and her band liked incorporating sounds from different genres. There's a pic of Selena with Jamaican-like braids.
