Reggaeton is a popular music genre that originated in Puerto Rico during the late 1990s. It is influenced by Latin American and Caribbean music, particularly dancehall and reggae. The genre is characterized by its infectious rhythms, catchy melodies, and a distinctive dembow beat, which is a syncopated rhythm that forms the backbone of most reggaeton tracks. Lyrically, reggaeton often explores themes of love, dance, and urban life, with a mix of Spanish and English languages. The genre has gained international popularity, with artists like Daddy Yankee, J Balvin, and Bad Bunny bringing reggaeton to global audiences. Its energetic and danceable nature makes it a staple in clubs and parties around the world.
