Reggaeton originated in the early 1990s as a blend of Jamaican reggae and Latin American music that became popular among Latin American youth. While some believe it originated in Panama due to Jamaican migration there in the 19th century, most experts agree Puerto Rico is where many pioneering reggaeton artists came from. The genre gained widespread popularity in 2004 with albums from artists like Daddy Yankee and Ivy Queen. However, some parents criticize reggaeton for being too sexual or encouraging the objectification of women through explicit lyrics.
