Featuring lyrics in Spanish and propelled by a modified reggae rhythm referred to as the "dembow," the genre also travels in the form of a suggestive, sexualized dance called "perreo")

Wikipedia description:
Reggaeton (UK: , US: ) is a style of popular dance music that originated in Puerto Rico from the Spanish reggae of Panama during the late 1980s. It has been popularized and dominated by artists from Puerto Rico since the early 1990s. The culture surrounding the genre includes distinct dance styles, most notably "perreo", also known as sandungueo, which features sensual movements heavily influenced by Jamaican dancehall, salsa and merengue and another Latin rhythmic styles. It evolved from dancehall, with elements of hip hop, Latin American, and Caribbean music. Vocals include toasting/rapping and singing or rap-singing, typically in Spanish. Reggaeton is regarded as one of the most popular music genres in the Spanish-speaking Caribbean. By the 2010s, the genre had seen increased popularity across Latin America, as well as acceptance within mainstream Western music. While drawing early stylistic roots from reggae in Spanish and Jamaican dancehall, Puerto Rico served as the cultural and creative backbone of the genre.
