Reggaet贸n
Reggaet贸n is a Spanish-language popular music style that emerged from the fusion of Panamanian reggae en espa帽ol, Jamaican dancehall, and American hip-hop in Puerto Rico during the early 1990s. Its sonic identity is anchored by the dembow riddim, a syncopated drum machine pattern forming a repetitive, dance-oriented foundation. Over this, producers layer simple synth melodies and deep sub-bass frequencies. Initially an underground phenomenon articulating street life and social realities, the genre evolved, with artists like *Daddy Yankee* and his album "Barrio Fino" propelling it to global commercial dominance in the mid-2000s, where it remains a powerful force in mainstream music.
