Panama created …
Panama created Regeton, and a positive harmonious sound.
Puerto Rico copied and improvised with shallow meaningless lyrics and trashy chicks from caserios.
USA pop culture watered the genre down to shallower lyrics with improved musical loops.
Where’s the future of this genre??? Cumbia? Timba? S-pop? 2029 meteor!?

They missed s much, I mean they only put the tigres del norte and old norteñas as the regional mexican music, i mean of course mariachi thats an ovbious, but what about the modern type of regional mexican music that is out there, DURANGUENSE is also popular now, not only reggeaton, and aventura bachata, and marc anthony merengue, the mexican culture is more than mariachi, tigres del norte, los lobos, and Goerge Lopez!!!! (NOTE i enjoy all types of latino music that includes the caribe music)

Wow I can’t believe they didn’t even mention Merengue or Bachata. Those are two very important music genre in Latin music. But apparently Dominicans don’t count for nothing in this country for other then Baseball. How disappointing!
Thanks for pointing …
Thanks for pointing out that latin music is not all the same so why must we keep calling all music just latin it is obvious most latin music is invented by black folks just like rock n roll R&B but we don’t try to hide those facts , no body calls R&B music Country music Heavy Metal music Reggae Music all one generic genre and call it anglo saxon music or germanic music…..
actually, ‘Oye como …
actually, ‘Oye como va’ is a Tito Puente song from before Fania…..
I saw both episodes …
I saw both episodes, really enjoyed it. Cerv7 is right, they ignored Freestyle. However, I was shock that they admitted that the Reggaeton beat came from a song called “Dem Bow” by a Jamaican artist known as Shabba Rank’s and that Panamanians were doing Reggaeton before Puerto Ricans. About time the truth comes out.

That song is called “Gasolina” and it blows
EXCELLENT …
EXCELLENT documentry!!! My only complaint is that is forgets the tango craze of the early 20th Century and ignores the urban U.S. Latino genre of FREESTYLE which was popular with Latino youth during the 80s and 90s. Stars like Johnny O, Geroge Lamond, Judy Torres, Cynthia, TKA, etc. gave us countless electro-pop “heartthrob” melodies that continue to be listened to by the younger Hispanic generations to this day… Still a great documentry though…
