At the beginning of the 1990s, Jamaican dancehall riddims revolving around a "boom-ch-boom-chick" sound such as the "Bam Bam riddim" or the "Fever Pitch riddim" was the beat of Shabba Ranks' song "Dem Bow", which became known as the "Dem Bow riddim". The song's popularity resulted in the adoption of the "dem bow" name to describe the entire nascent Spanish language dancehall genre that would eventually come to be called "reggaeton". The name Reggaeton was coined by musical artist, El General, when using Jamaican rhythms. Nommo888 (talk) 19:26, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This introduction to the topic needs rewriting (a) to remove unnecessary repetition and (b) to stop contradicting itself about timing - the early versus the late 90s. yoyo (talk) 10:46, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The sentence is contradictive though. Before locating Reggaeton's origin in Panama, the article states that Reggaeton is often confused with Reggae en Espanol. However, in the next sentence, the article states that Reggaeton originated in Panama. Confusingly, it is Reggae en Espanol that originated in Panama, not Reggaeton. The NY Times article in the citation even states that it was Reggae en Espanol that traveled to Puerto Rico from Panama, not Reggaeton. The article essentially repeats the same mistake it mentions in the opening sentence, confusing reggae en Espanol with Reggaeton. Actually, the popularity and circulation of Jamaican dembow riddims is arguably more important than the Panamanian reggae en Espanol. As the article states, over 80% of Reggaeton records use Shabba Ranks Dem Bow. If an origin for Reggaeton needs to be placed out of Puerto Rican or NuYo Rican communities, it should be Jamaica, not Panama. 31.205.41.60 (talk) 10:53, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
