Reggaeton originated in Panama in the 1990s as "reggae en espanol" and then spread to Latin America and North America. It is a blend of Jamaican reggae music and Latin American styles like bomba and salsa. There are debates about whether it originated in Panama or Puerto Rico, but it developed its name "Reggaeton" in Puerto Rico, where many reggaeton artists are also from. Some of the most popular reggaeton artists include Daddy Yankee, Lady-Medico, J king, and Cosculluea.
