With over 15 years of upward growth in the entertainment industry and the Latin music scene, one cannot help but recognize this genre. Just spend a day in cities like Miami, New York or Los Angeles and you'll realize there’s no turning back—reggaeton has taken over radio, TV, clubs, and the streets. Initially called “underground”, reggaeton (pronounced “ray-gay-tone”) is a gritty hybrid of hip-hop and dancehall reggae set to primarily Spanish lyrics. This infectious style is currently blowing up mainstream radio charts with mega-hits like "Oye Mi Canto", "Lo que Pasó Pasó" and the superhit "Gasolina" (MTV/BET). This style has proven contagious for both Latinos and non-Latinos alike. On Reggaeton Baptism, the artists demonstrate their ceaseless passion for spirituality over addictive cuts such as “Bien Safao / Magnetic” by Ivan y Ab, "Bedeng Bedeng Wiyo" by Christafari, & "Nada Mas" by Joel Upperground.]]>
