HISTORY
Reggaeton grew out of Panamanian reggae en español and Puerto Rico’s underground scene in the 1990s, built on the dembow rhythm — and it went global in 2004 when Daddy Yankee’s “Gasolina,” produced by Luny Tunes for the album Barrio Fino, became the genre’s breakout anthem. The song earned a Latin Grammy nomination for Record of the Year, landed on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and became the first reggaeton song inducted into the National Recording Registry. Two decades later, the perreo — the dance, the party, the culture — is still packing dance floors from San Juan to Wilmington.
