From Panama and Puerto Rico to… the world.
From reggae and dancehall, hip-hop, and dembow to dance-pop and trap. What began as an underground and instinctive form of expression of island barrios would go on to radically and unquestionably shape the sound of 21st-century Latin music.
In tribute to the history of reggaeton and its by now multi-generational — and global — mark on music, we’ve put together a playlist that traces the evolution of the genre through tracks by El General, Shabba Ranks, Vico C, Daddy Yankee, J Balvin, Ozuna, Becky G, and many more artists who’ve put their stamp on the urban Latin and global dance floor sound.
