Reggeton

From what I understand this is a new "wave" of music in the US. I really like the way it sounds.. Makes the music kinda fun. What do you think. Like/dislike?

I had no idea what Reggaetron is, so:
Quote:
Reggaeton: Information From Answers.com

Reggaeton is a Spanish language genre of Dancehall with distinct Hip hop influences, originating in Central America and the Caribbean.

The genre's most notably unique feature is a driving drum-machine track derived from Puerto Rican Bomba and Plena musical beats and sometimes integrated into a Jamaican Dancehall rhythm. Sometimes hip hop-styled vocals, a NuYorRican import from the U.S., are also used. Despite the genre's derivativeness, the fusion is often very creatively done, with some excellent producers and performers incorporating their own personal musical backgrounds into the crafting of songs. In any event, after over a century of forced connection to the U.S., Island Puerto Ricans have- in the end- preferred to tie themselves back into the Caribbean matrix to which they belong.

The lyrics, like most working-class popular music, are often about the reality on the streets, misunderstandings, unfair situations, love, cheating and passion. The most notable differences in Reggaeton from some Jamaican Dancehall records, besides the inclusion of definite Latino melodies and musical styles, is the exclusion of the violence and homophobia which allows Reggaeton a more acceptable access to a much wider age-bracket and social spectrum of Latino music lovers worldwide. Also missing is the misogynistic lyrics found in some U.S. hip hop music. This is an Indigenous Taino aspect- both men and women can be Cacikes (leaders) in the same musical arena- equal and with respect. Ivy Queen's establishment as an artist who highlights female strength has garnered the respect from Latino youth- both male and female- and has paved the way for many female Reggaeton artists.

These developments are definite signs which demonstrate the openness, positivity and party-atmosphere preference of Puerto Rican society. Reggaeton's creativity and break from the normal Reggae style is reflective of Puerto Rico's multi-ethnic flavor- afroindoeuropean. This creative fusion has allowed it to become a respectable Puerto Rican musical form.
tres, do you have any links for us to listen to?

the dance station in dallas just switched over to this type of music in the recent month. they are really catering to the latino. their tagline is: la casa 106.7, where latino's live.

here's their website: www.casa1067.com. i don't know if there is any streaming going on. it's not my type of music.

Uck... regatone sucks. It all seems like the same beat just with different words. Then again I like mostly classic rock and reggaton is nothing like rock... I also hate to dance, and reggatone is dance music.

I love reggaeton. I started to hear it this summer and it has gotten pretty big in the club scene. There is an a great club in Montreal that plays a lot of reggaeton. The club is 737 and is near Saint Cathrine Street.

I would say the best reggaeton artist is either Daddy Yankee or Looney Toon.

If you havent hear reggaeton yet, download Daddy Yankee Gasolina or the Remix of the song. Lil Jon is in the remix I believe.

Feel free to PM me if you want me to send you some reggaeton songs, I have a bunch.

I went to Colombia last summer and all I heard was reggeton. People either loved it or hated it. The best way that I can describe it is that of a mix of rap, salsa and dance music. I like some of it, but not all.

Just like the rap/hip hop genre, there is some pretty good reggaeton and some really bad reggaeton.

Try Daddy Yankee: Gasolina (as someone already mentioned) or Don Omar: Dile, and Dale Con Dale. If you like the way they sound, feel free to explore the music some more; if not then you probably won't like any of it.
