Show Notes
Bad Bunnys latest album celebrates reggaetons Puerto Rican roots, but the genres true origins lie in Panama. During the Panama Canal era, a mix of Caribbean immigrants, Spanish roots, and American influences gave birth to reggaeton. The genre emerged from tensions and a push for Spanish culture, known as panamenismo, and evolved from Jamaican reggae subgenres. Panamanian artist Renato dropped the first reggaeton track in 1985, protesting the military dictatorship. Puerto Rico later popularized the genre, often stripping its protest edge. Today, Bad Bunny revisits those roots, addressing racism, colonialism, and equality in his music.
