In this episode of the Let’s Talk Spanish podcast, I’m excited to give you a deep dive into reggaetón, a genre I know lots of you love. 

Music in Spanish has blown up over the last few years, and reggaetón has definitely led the way. 

Practise your Spanish listening to me talk about:

  • Where reggaetón is actually from (no, it didn’t start in Puerto Rico!)
  • Why there’s controversy around the music genre and some of the problems it’s faced in the past
  • Some of the records held by reggaetón artists

And lots more!

I hope you enjoy this episode about Spanish-speaking culture, created to help you improve your Spanish understanding for travel and conversation.
