Reggaeton Top Hits Music Radio description

Reggaeton is a music genre which roots lie in latin american and caribbean music. It originated in the early 1990s and went on to gain widespread mainstream exposure in 2004.

Reggaeton (reggaetón, reguetón) is a form of urban music that became popular with Latin American youth in the early 1990s.

Reggaeton is also combined with rapping or singing in Spanish. The influence of this genre has spread to the wider Latino communities in the United States, as well as the Latin American audience. While it takes influences from hip hop and Jamaican dancehall, reggaeton is not the Hispanic or Latino version of either of these genres; reggaeton has its own specific beat and rhythm, whereas Latino hip hop is simply hip hop recorded by artists of Latino descent. The specific rhythm that characterizes reggaeton is referred to as "Dem Bow."

Top reggaeton artists: Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, Pitbull, Wisin & Yandel, Calle 13.
