What is Reggaeton?

Reggaeton is a modification of ragamuffins that, in turn, developed from Reggae and Hip Hop.

Reggaeton distinguishes itself through its provocative and full of protest Spanish lyrics and exhibits the impact of further Latino styles, like bomba and salsa.

Origin of Reggaeton

Reggaeton was created by Panama.

Popular by Latin American youth

Puerto Rico made it better and popular.

Misunderstanding of Origins Of Reggaeton

The first Reggae recordings in Latin America were made in Panama in the mid-1970s. A large number of Jamaican immigrants had been brought in during the building of the Panama Canal and they brought with them Reggae music to the local population.In 1985, rapper Vico C from Puerto Rico produced the first Spanish-language Hip hop record. Thus the two main influences of the genre were in place, as well as the two main producing countries.Reggae production took off seriously in Panama in the early nineties, about the same time Jamaican Ragga imports were becoming all the rage in Puerto Rico. Towards the middle of the decade Puerto Ricans were making their own riddim material, with clear hip-hop influences, and recording what must be considered the first proper Reggaeton tracks.However, Panama has always held its own production-wise and its own blooming Reggaeton scene was created when the local reggae scene was infused with Puerto Rican influences a couple of years later. Today the music flourishes equally in both countries and has also spread to the rest of Latin America, including Colombia.

Migration to Panama

Caribbean immigrant migrated to Panama because of the music and the rhythm of the beats.
