REGUETON
Is a danceable musical genre4
that has its roots in Latin American and Caribbean music. Their sound is
derived from Jamaican reggae, influenced by hip hop. It was first developed in
Panama in the 1970s and early 1990s in Puerto Rico. It was born and emerged as
a result of the Jamaican community whose ancestors arrived in Panama, along
with immigrants of Afro-Antillean descent during the twentieth century.5 7
Bachata
Is a genre of Latin
American music that originated in the Dominican Republic in the first half of
the 20th century with European, Indigenous and African musical elements.
By the early 1990s, the sound
was further modernized and the bachata scene was dominated by two new stars:
Luis Vargas and Antony Santos. Both incorporated a large number of
bachata-merengues in their repertoires. Santos, Vargas and the many new style
bachateros who would follow achieved level of stardom which was unimaginable to
the bachateros who preceded them. They were the first generation of pop bachata
artists and received all the hype and image branding typical of commercial pop
music elsewhere. It was also at this time that bachata began to emerge
internationally as a music of Hispanic dance-halls.
By the beginning of the 21st
century, the bachata group had taken the bachata envisioned by Juan Luis Guerra
in the early 1990s to new heights. Led by lead singer Anthony "Romeo"
Santos, they revolutionized and modernized the genre. They sold out Madison
Square Garden numerous times and released countless top ten hits on the hot
Latin charts including two number one hits "For a second" and
"Tell the Love". Other big bachata acts in the decade included
"Monchy and Alexandra" and Los Toros Band. By the beginning of the
new decade, Aventura had split up because group member Henry Santos wanted to
go solo, leaving the others to their own thing. Today, parallel to Bachata
music, fusion genres arose in western countries such as the USA, combining some
of the rhythmic elements of Bachata music with elements of western music such
as Hip Hop, R & B, pop, techno and more. This fusion genre is quite popular
among western audiences, and often includes covers of western pop songs played
on MTV and non Latin radio stations. Notable artist of the new fusion genre are
Prince Royce, Xtreme and Toby Love, among others. By 2011 former Aventura member
Romeo Santos also joined the fusion bandwagon, releasing several new albums
which became popular in the USA and other western countries. The hip-hop artist
Drake in his music video of "Hotline Bling" based on his dance moves
off Bachata music.

Beatles,
The Doors, Janis Joplin, Sex
Pistols, Pink Floyd, U2 and Nirvana, were and are some of the pioneers more
representative of a youth that diversified in different ideas and fashions in

very popular today in Mexico. The corridos have evolved a lot, nowadays there
