*Origin of Reggaeton
There are two versions about the origin of Reggaeton: some say he was born in Panama, while others think that he did in Puerto Rico, where besides come most singers of this genre.
Reggaeton is derived from Jamaican Reggae, but also is influenced by various genres like Hip-Hop Puerto Rican American and different rhythms.
*Expansion of worldwide Reggaeton
The rhythm of reggaeton, and very popular among the youth, began to spread to different countries of Latin America, continue to sink even the American public. This spectacular growth is what has given Reggaeton position at all expected, since a few years before, was considered a genre in darkness.
