![]() Now that reggaeton has broken into the mainstream of Latin music, there has been a lot of discussion saying that it has shifted its orientation lyrically: that before it was hyper-sexualized and connected to the street and politics but now it’s not. And it’s pretty different in terms of its melody. There’s that guitar riff in the song that you hear in a lot of Latin pop. Most reggaeton is rapped and not sung Luis Fonsi is singing not rapping. ![]() “Despacito” definitely has that, but there are some differences. The main thing that people think about when they think about reggaeton is the beat-the boom-ch-boom-chick beat. Rivera-Rideau: In the media, the song’s been presented as “reggaeton-pop fusion” or “urban-pop fusion,” which are phrases that have been attached to Ricky Martin or Enrique Iglesias or other pop singers. Kornhaber: Am I right to be calling it reggaeton? How does it showcase the genre or diverge from it?
