Reggaeton originated from its predecessor reggae in

Spanish. After this event reggaeton continued to be

maintained as the original reggae in Jamaica, with the
same instruments and the same voice melodies but
with different lyrics. While in Puerto Rico they beat of
reggae on the basis of rap but with letters and
different compositions were used.
The term reguetn is the form adapted to Spanish
from the root of the word reggaeton, this in turn
comes from the word reggae and tn suffix. It was
coined by the Panamanian producer Michael Ellis in
Puerto Rico in 1988. According to the artist Gringo
Original the term means "big reggae"
Although reggaeton began in Panama, quickly it
spreads throughout the Caribbean and in the late 80s
and early 90s polyblends, recreations and hybrid
genre formed. However, the genre became popular in
Puerto Rico, because of its great commercial success.
The country took it as his own and became the first
place where artists and stars of reggaeton originated.
In addition, early 90s rhythm "Dem Bow", created by
Steely & Clevie, characterized the genre and gained
massive popularity. This characterization of reggaeton,
acted as a way of establishing the hybrid genre, from
the original sound of Panama; the "Spanish reggae."
At this point the genre took off and was being
produced and performed by artists throughout Latin
America and the United States including artists such
as Ivy Queen, Daddy Yankee, Tego Calderon, Ruben DJ,
Vico C, among others.
