Reggaetón’s evolution is an unlikely success story. Though today the genre enjoys the spotlight on the global charts and at top-tier festivals, the once-forbidden rhythm earned notoriety in ‘90s-era Puerto Rico for its hedonistic approach. Emerging after Panamanian reggae en Español, and locked in by the skeletal rhythms of Jamaican dembow, genre-defying producers like The Noise, Playero, and DJ Nelson turned the Caribbean style into a dance-floor movement that has been resonating ever since. Vocalist Ivy Queen, influenced by the New York school of hip-hop, started repping female empowerment, and by the turn of the millennium, Daddy Yankee took a more maximalist path that furthered its expansion. By the second coming of reggaetón in the mid-‘10s, Colombian artists J Balvin and Maluma added gloss and sophistication to the urbano format, as did Puerto Rico’s Ozuna and Luis Fonsi—the latter of whom went on to change its course forever with a slinky banger called “Despacito.”

The 2000s were one of the most exciting decades for pop music since it got its name. It wasn’t just that hip-hop helped shift the mainstream, or that producers started reaching into the worlds of indie and underground music for inspiration. It’s that the best pop felt as concerned with being clever and adventurous as it did with being fun—a balance that led to an embarrassment of great, party-oriented summer tracks that still resonate today.
