Talk:Reggaeton

Spanish reggae and dancehall from Panama is not “Reggaeton”. Reggaeton originated in Puerto Rico. 68.84.251.17 (talk) 19:50, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

::The sentence is contradictive though. Before locating Reggaeton's origin in Panama, the article states that Reggaeton is often confused with Reggae en Espanol. However, in the next sentence, the article states that Reggaeton originated in Panama. Confusingly, it is Reggae en Espanol that originated in Panama, not Reggaeton. The NY Times article in the citation even states that it was Reggae en Espanol that traveled to Puerto Rico from Panama, not Reggaeton. The article essentially repeats the same mistake it mentions in the opening sentence, confusing reggae en Espanol with Reggaeton. Actually, the popularity and circulation of Jamaican dembow riddims is arguably more important than the Panamanian reggae en Espanol. As the article states, over 80% of Reggaeton records use Shabba Ranks Dem Bow. If an origin for Reggaeton needs to be placed out of Puerto Rican or NuYo Rican communities, it should be Jamaica, not Panama. 31.205.41.60 (talk) 10:53, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

It might be worth adding in the history section that Reggaeton had developed for enough to be be parodied in Eurovision 2008 by the song Baila el Chiki-chiki. 2A00:23C6:1492:7A01:3066:3D0E:239:759 (talk) 23:38, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Edit and cleanup needed for quality, objectivity and to add sources. 2600:1011:B00D:A629:8940:353:7B4B:CD63 (talk) 17:20, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

:Agreed. Good example from the second paragraph where "Seemingly endless artists" doesn't read very objective, in that "A lot" or "many" would work just as well and would fit the encyclopedic style. Sr Desayuno (talk) 23:19, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Reggaeton did NOT originate in Panama. Spanish dancehall is NOT Reggaeton. 2601:880:C000:32C0:9951:70BC:1F21:E816 (talk) 13:07, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

Reggaeton and reggae en español are two different genres. Many genres came together to create reggaeton in Puerto Rico. Dancehall, hip-hop, Latin Caribbean rhythms(salsa,Bomba, Plena, Bachata, merengue) Puerto Rican underground and freestyle. None of which have origins in Panama. Therefore reggaeton as a distinct genre was born in Puerto Rico not Panama. Robertoglencoco1212 (talk) 03:51, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
