Overview

  • Trace the raw, defiant birth of reggaetón through the streets of Santurce and Barrio Obrero. From illicit cassette mixtapes traded in open carports to state-sanctioned moral panics and militarized caserío raids, discover how an Afro-diasporic rhythm conquered police censorship and elite cultural gatekeepers. Walk alongside community-run music hubs, public housing complexes where Daddy Yankee survived gunfire, and salsa shrines, culminating where street dancers and urban superstars weaponized the beat to topple a governor in the historic Summer of 2019.
