The new docuseries Reggaeton: The Sound that Vanquished the World reunites probably the greatest hitmakers in the class — including Daddy Yankee, Ivy Sovereign and Terrible Rabbit — to recount the tale of how it went from underground music to a style that proceeded to rule.
Set to debut Oct. 3 on Peacock, the four-section project — coordinated by Omar Acosta (Mixtape) and leader delivered by Yankee — separates the class’ development from its earliest emphasess when it soundtracked the barrios of Puerto Rico to its worldwide takeover and business achievement because of hitmakers like DJ Playero, Awful Rabbit, Karol G, Vico C and J Balvin, among other vital participants.
“The task is significant today on the grounds that reggaetón has come so far,” Acosta tells Board. “I recollect when I was a youngster in Puerto Rico, and in the event that I’d run into Playero, in light of the fact that he was at that point quite large locally, and I would ask him for tapes. First he would give me mixtapes with hip-bounce or house music. What’s more, when he provided me with a tape of neighborhood kids singing and it was exceptionally crude however to see it go from that to this worldwide peculiarity. It means a lot to recount the narrative of reggaetón in light of the fact that I don’t realize that individuals figure out that effect or at times they believe that it just arrived for the time being nevertheless it’s been generational as of now.”
Acosta worked intimately with Daddy Yankee throughout recent years to rejuvenate the docuseries. “We would sit together when I was cutting and altering, and I would see him thinking about the cycle practically like making a melody,” Acosta makes sense of. “He’d tell me, ‘the mood in this part here ought to be more similar to this.’ It was an extraordinary joint effort.”
