Reggaeton

[LifeIsSweet]

My 17 year old daughter-- who is hardly latino, is SO into reggaeton music. I'm not a fan and know nothing about it.

Does anyone here like this style of music? If so, please let me know if you know of any of the better groups -- she just adores it!

Thanks so much!

Cheers,
LIS

I found this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reggaeton - that has a bunch of artist names and info about the genre

I don't know a whole lot about it myself but hopefully that helps :)

Yeah, I would've sent you to the wiki on it.

I hate the genre, personally- 75% of the songs in the genre have the Dum---cha-dum-dum-DUM-chika-dum-dum----DUM---cha-dum-dum-DUM-chika-dum-dum beat.

it drives me nuts.

Oh man, thats one of the reasons I <3 reggaeton, i love the beat as a unifying factor throughout the genre and how the songs can be so different while still having the beat.

That's hilarious that the very same reason you love it is the reason I hate it.

It just goes to show that there's something for everyone!
