Where It All Began: The Roots of Reggaeton

Reggaeton’s story starts in the early 1990s in Puerto Rico, where DJs and artists began blending dancehall, hip-hop, and Latin rhythms. With strong influences from Panama’s reggae en español and Caribbean beats, reggaeton became the voice of a new generation.

Artists like DJ Playero and Daddy Yankee pioneered the movement, often releasing underground mixtapes that spread like wildfire.

The 2000s: Reggaeton Goes Mainstream

Today: Reggaeton Rules the Charts

Fast forward to today, and reggaeton is everywhere. Artists like Bad Bunny, Karol G, J Balvin, and Ozuna dominate playlists, festivals, and award shows. With billions of streams worldwide, reggaeton has cemented itself as one of the most influential genres of the 21st century.
