Regueton
Reggaeton (UK: , US: ) is a style of popular dance music that arose from the Spanish reggae of Panama during the late 1980s. It has been popularized and dominated by artists from Puerto Rico since the early 1990s.
It evolved from dancehall, with elements of hip hop, Latin American, and Caribbean music. Vocals include toasting/rapping and singing or rap-singing, typically in Spanish. Reggaeton is regarded as one of the most popular music genres in the Spanish-speaking Caribbean. By the 2010s, the genre had seen increased popularity across Latin America, as well as acceptance within mainstream Western music.
While drawing early stylistic roots from reggae in Spanish and Jamaican dancehall, Puerto Rico served as the cultural and creative backbone of the genre.
