¿De dónde viene el perreo? : los orígenes del reguetón y sus productores de discurso

Abstract

Music is a significant practice that produces and reproduces meanings within its social context. Reggaeton is a rhythm that has generated great social interest and, simultaneously, much censorship from other sectors. For this reason, the focus of this paper is to analyze not only where it comes from, but fundamentally who produces the discourse and which theme systems the producers develop. As a research topic in the social sciences, music has only had a timid beginning and it has been given a marginal place as an element of play. In the specific case of reggaeton, academia has demonstrated hesitance to consider it as an art form that constitutes and reflects the world vision of certain groups in relation to themes from their concrete social reality.
