Wikipedia, June 2, 2005 (Reggaeton is a type of dance music that was developed in Puerto Rico; now also very popular in other Latin American countries; Reggaeton - also spelled Reggaetón and hispanicised as Reguetón - is a Spanish language genre of dancehall with a distinct hip hop influence that has been heard in Puerto Rico since the mid 1990's) Music of Puerto Rico WWW site, June 30, 2005 (name derived from the reggae music of Jamaica which influenced reggaeton's dance beat; also heavily influenced by other Puerto Rican music genres and by urban hip-hop music craze in the United States) Oxford English dictionaries website, Sept. 19, 2018 (reggaeton: A form of dance music of Puerto Rican origin, characterized by a fusion of Latin rhythms, dancehall, and hip-hop or rap) Grove music online, Sept. 19, 2018 (Reggaeton: Although some dispute the national character of the genre, reggaeton is most frequently represented as a Puerto Rican and, increasingly, pan-Latino fusion of hip-hop and dancehall reggae. Featuring lyrics in Spanish and propelled by a modified reggae rhythm referred to as the "dembow," the genre also travels in the form of a suggestive, sexualized dance called "perreo") Baker, G. Buena Vista in the club, 2011: t.p. (reggaetón) p. 14 (a Spanish-language hybrid of dancehall reggae and U.S. rap, with roots in Panama and Jamaica but produced primarily in Puerto Rico) p. 8 (By reggaeton we refer to a relatively new genre strongly marked both by a particular approach to musical style (e.g., dancehall's boom-ch-boom-chick as reshaped by urban Puerto Rican sensibilities and informed by a fusion with hip-hop) and a relation to the market (i.e., explicitly commercial, courting a wide audience)) Reggaeton, 2009: p. x (reggaetón is in Spanish) p. xi (reguetón) p. 1 (Draws on reggae, hip-hop, and a number of Spanish Caribbean styles) p. 3 (spelling of reggaeton takes a number of forms: reggaeton, reggaetón, reguetón, regeton) p. 5 (was born in a hip-hop environment, with a little bit of Jamaican dancehall and Puerto Rico's own tropical flavor and ritmo) p. 6 (hip-hop is most easily distinguished from reggaeton in its embrace of the downbeat and the backbeat, emphasizing duple divisions of the meter rather than the 3:2 cross-rhythms that mark reggaeton and other Caribbean genres) p. 7 (dancehall's prevailing rhythmic pattern from the late '80s and early '90s has served as reggaeton's backbone--the boom-ch-boom-chick that now resounds from cars and clubs worldwide; reggaeton is neither hip-hop nor dancehall nor Latin nor tropical in the traditional sense, yet it draws from all of these) |
