The word reggaeton (formed from the word reggae plus the augmentative suffix -tón) was first used in 1988 when El General's representative Michael Ellis gave it that name to describe it as ' reggae grande' (big reggae). Over the 2010s, the genre has seen increased popularity across Latin America, as well as acceptance within mainstream Western music. Reggaeton is regarded as one of the most popular music genres in the Spanish-speaking Caribbean, including Puerto Rico, Panama, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Colombia, and Venezuela. Vocals include rapping and singing, typically in Spanish. It has evolved from dancehall and has been influenced by American hip hop, Latin American, and Caribbean music.
