2. is a musical genre from the Jamaican
reggae with influences of hip hop, which
developed first in Latin America in the
1970s and mid-1980s, is born and arises
from the Jamaican community whose
ancestors came to Panama, with
immigrants of Afro-Caribbean during the
twentieth century.
3. Before the music was called reggaeton, it was known as
"Spanish Reggae" or Reggae en Español. Traveling
along mass media circuits as well as diasporic
networks, Jamaican popular music spread around the
world in the 1960s and '70s. Reggae arrived in places
like Panama and Puerto Rico as quickly as it reached
more traditional centers of migration, such as London
and New York. Panama was the first country to
introduce Reggae en Español. The music eventually
made its way through Central America and continued
evolving and coming to prominence in Puerto
Rico where it became reggaeton. Reggaeton started as
an adaptation of Jamaican reggae to the Spanish
language and overall culture in Panama and Puerto
Rico
4. Since the early 20th century when Jamaican laborers were used to
help build the panama canal Afro-Panamanians had been
performing and recording Spanish-language reggae since the
1970s. Artists such as el general , Chichoman, Nando Boom,
Renato, and Black Apache are considered the first Spanish
reggae Djs from Panama. El General is often considered the father
of reggae en español, blending Jamaican reggae into a Latinised
version. It was common practice to translate the lyrics of Jamaican
reggae song into Spanish and sing them over the original
melodies, a form termed "Spanish reggae" or Reggae en Español.
Meanwhile, during the 1980s the Puerto Rican rapper and
reggaeton artist Vico C released Spanish-language hip hop and
reggaeton records in his native island. His production of cassettes
throughout the 1980s, mixing reggae and hip hop, also helped
spread the early reggaeton sound, and he is widely credited with
this achievement. The widespread movement of "Spanish reggae"
in the Latin-American communities of the Caribbean and the
urban centres of the United States help increase its popularity.
5. the Reggaeton lyrical structure resembles hip hop lyrics. Like hip hop, most reggaeton
artists recite their lyrics rapping (or vocals resembling rapping) rather than singing;
however, many reggaeton artists alternate between rapping and singing. Reggaeton uses
the traditional pop structure of verses, choruses and bridges. Like hip hop music,
reggaeton songs have hooks that are repeated throughout the song. Latino ethnic
identity has been a common theme in reggaeton, articulated musically, lyrically, and
visually.
Usually, reggaeton CDs are not labeled "explicit" like many hip hop CDs are. One
exception is that Daddy Yankee's Barrio Fino en Directo (Barrio Fino Live) was labeled
explicit for objectionable content in the live concerts (and for explicit language by Snoop
Dogg in the song "Gangsta Zone"), even though the regular studio version of Barrio Fino
was not labeled explicit. Some reggaeton artists, such as Alexis & Fido, are able to
circumvent radio and television censorship by using sexual innuendo and lyrics with
double meanings in their music. Some songs have also raised concerns about women's
depiction on their lyrics.
While reggaeton started as a genre composed of mostly male artists, there has been a
slowly increasing number of female artists debuting over the years. Notable female
reggaeton artists include the "Queen of Reggaeton" Ivy Queen, Mey Vidal, Adassa, La
Sista and Glory.
