Klok Crack' title='Klok Crack' />Essential Reggaetn Tracks That Are Not DespacitoIn May of this year Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankees Despacito became the first Spanish language hit to crack the No. U. S. charts in some 2. By late July, it was the most streamed song of all time. Leaving aside the profound question of whether this pop chart diversity could somehow be a counterweight to an emboldened nativist movement afoot in the streets, it has definitely been a shot in the arm for reggaeton, the Latin Caribbeans particular take on dancehall reggae. Mostly centered in Puerto Rico and New York the reggaeton sound has, for the most part, been bubbling along off the radar of pop culture since the last time Daddy Yankee cracked the charts circa 2. What sort of side effects the shot will have remain to be seen but, if nothing else, lets take the ubiquity of Despacito as a good excuse for a brief history lesson of the sound and its essential tunes, not to mention the different dance cultures that have fed it, from Panama to Jamaica to, um, Bollywood. Nando Boom, Ellos Benia a. Dem Bow 1. 98. 9Before there was reggaeton, there was reggae en Espanl a wave of Panamanian records that, as the name implies, mainly translated Jamaican boom tunes directly into Spanish to create local hits. Though Panama has its own long tradition of Afro diasporic dance music, the love for reggae is a relic of the massive labor force that migrated from Jamaica and other islands circa 1. Panama Canal. One of these cover versiontranslations of Shabba Ranks homophobicanti colonialist Dem Bow is so foundational that throughout the Latin Caribbean dembow has become the accepted name of the marching tempo dancehall rhythm that anchors the genre. Recorded in Long Islands HC F studios, Nando Boom b. Fernando Brown and his Jamaican born producer Phillip Smart reverse engineered Steely Clevies original beat for Shabba into a minimal, timbales heavy version of the dancehall track. The resulting composition Ellos Benia is best described as prehistoric reggaeton. El General, Te Ves Buena 1. If any artist besides El General can claim to be the godfather of reggaeton, its his fellow Panamanian El General, born Edgardo Franco. Klok Crack' title='Klok Crack' />Franco was the most prolific and original MC of reggae en Espanl in the late 8. Teves Buena You Look Good an improvised lyric over a Jamaican riddim created by Steelie Clevie was one of his biggest hits, and more or less established the template for reggaeton as an original art form See also Pu Tun Tun.

NDYx2nIokA/0.jpg' alt='Klok Crack' title='Klok Crack' />A much more modest hit for El General, the untranslatable Buduff Kun Kun is nevertheless a prime early example of how Panamanian dancehall could cease to be simply reggae en Espanl and become its own thing. New Yorkbased Panamanian American producer Michael Ellis created the spare rhythm track from an echoey synthesized horn loop that more naturally suggests an early 9. Nuyorican house track, but chopped up into a reggae pattern. Hip hop and house were in fact secret ingredients of the reggaeton sound even before it had a name, a fusion that happened in New York as much as Panama or Puerto Rico and in fact, another of El Generals biggest hits is the house tempo Boriqua Anthem the official unofficial anthem of New Yorks Puerto Rican Day Parade. Tego Calderon, Pa Que Retozen 2. Spanish reggae was arguably introduced to the island of Puerto Rico by Ellis and the stable of Panamanian artists he worked with, who toured throughout Latin America. But reggaeton proper was really created by mixtape DJs like DJ Playero, DJ Negro, and DJ Nelson who chopped up a handful of reggae riddims including Dem Bow and Fever Pitch into their own homemade party breaks. Although he was not the first vocalist to rap over these beats, Tego Calderon was among the most lyrical and therefore most widely embraced in New York and beyond. With its more complex couplets and carnivalesque synths, Pa Que Retozen perfectly illustrates how translating the essence of those mixtape beats into original recordings brought in elements of cumbia, bomba y plena, salsa, and merengue that further transformed reggaeton.

Yo Quiero Bailar incorporates large segments of Jeremy Hardings 2. Liquid riddim which also backed Elephant Mans Log On and Sean Paul Ceciles Can You Do the Wuk into its dembow, notably on the harpsichord laced intro. It was Ivy Queens lyrical prowess, however, aided by her tough, throaty, androgynous vocal tone that made the track a standout both on New York radio and in the Caribbean. Lorna, Papi Chulo 2. A last gasp of sorts for the Panamanian wave, Papi Chulo was also a crossover dancefloor hit especially in Europe which shaped the direction of the emerging reggaeton sound in a faster, clubbier direction, with an accompany anything goes, sampla delic ethos. Exhibit A the marriage of the dembow pattern to a hippie chick bassline previously lifted from a Herbie Hancock record for Deee Lites Groove Is in the Heart. Daddy Yankee, Gasolina 2. Generally recognized as the King of Reggaeton, Yankee attained the throne not only via crossover success but through dues paid as well, making his rapping debut on a DJ Playero mixtape circa 1. By the release of 2. Gasolina he and his producers DJ Nelson and Luny Tunes had helped to craft a Puerto Rican sound that was anchored by reggae drums, but drew heavily from other Latin sounds, as exemplified by this mega hits dramatic Matador inspired intro and merengue double time tempo. All these elements are assembled into a framework as beholden to the Dirty South as Panama or Jamaica, right down to its Say Yes to Drugs chorus Gasolina being slang for cocaine. It was also the biggest worldwide hit imaginable for a reggaeton track that is, until Yankee teamed up with Luis Fonsi for Despacito more than a decade later. Protel Design System Advanced Pcb more.

E. formerly of the Queens duo Capone n Noriega was the first New Yorkbred artist to openly embrace the reggaeton explosion as part of his signature sound. Combining the new beat from Puerto Rico with his own gritty rap style and an R B hook from fellow New Yorkers Nina Sky, the more accessible bilingual lyrics of Oye Mi Canto helped push it to No. U. S. charts, a peak for reggaeton. To his credit N. O. R. E. promptly recruited both Tego and Yankee to contribute guest verses on a remix of the track, and took them along for the crossover ride. Don Omar, Dile a. Otra Noche 2. 00. Along with Yankee and Tego, Don Omar can be credited for solidifying the sound of the mid 2. With a more melodic style than either of those contemporaries who started out as Spanish language rappers more than reggae artists Don Omar paralleled their use of slower dembow beats with other elements for instance the distinctive segunda guitar pattern of the intro, borrowed straight from Dominican bachata but added a soaring call and response melody that guaranteed Dile would inspire revelers to sing along with the repeated phrase Otra otra otra Otra nochayyyy from 2.
