Vico C
Some people in Europe, Asia or North America feel
that a certain Caribbean modern rhythm is “cool”. Well, perhaps it is. But,
what do you know about it? Central America music is as vast as the blue of its
ocean, it would be impossible to talk about all of it. For example, Cuba has its
magnificent salsa, cha cha chá, danzón and bolero,
Dominican Republic is the motherland of Merengue
and Jamaica gave birth to one of the best sounds in history: reggae (Who
doesn’t admire the Legendary Bob Marley, the King of Reggae?). Of course, there
are more countries and more types of music in the area but I’m going to talk
about a new musical fever in that always warms up this sunny part of our planet: The Reggaeton, also known in Spanish as Reguetón.
Tego Calderón
Reggaeton was born more than two decades ago in Puerto
Rico, Jamaica and Panama. It is mostly a fusion or the original reggae, hip hop
and other Caribbean styles. Some of its more remarkable artists are Vico C, Daddy Yankee, Tego Calderón, El General
and Ivy Queen, among others.
Despite
great criticism from some media that consider it “too vulgar and ordinary”
because of its plain and unadorned lyrics, Reggaeton
is very popular in the world, especially in Latin America, where it’s rare to
attend to a party without it. Its sticky cadence together with its erotic lines
and dance remind those times when Elvis Presley scandalized the conservative
members of society with his wiggling waist and made the youth go crazy at the
same time.
Daddy Yankee
But this is
not the best thing, oh no. The best of it all is that Reggaeton beats are frequently made with FL Studio. Yes, and the
kicker is that according to many FL Studio users, Reggaeton is not as difficult to make as other music styles, so one
of the purposes of this blog is to teach you how to do it!
Ivy Queen
But before
you get to Reggaeton FL Studio ABC steps you need to get know it better first so my advice is that you should start listening, downloading or purchasing some to
get familiar with it, ok?
