I went to Mexico a few times for business and when I went to bars and stuff, I heard a lot of Spanish language music. Previously, I hadn't really paid much attention to it, as a native English speaker. Some of these songs stuck in my head and I did some research and discovered reggaeton. While reggaeton is not Mexican in origin, I'm thankful for the trip, as it exposed me to some interesting music.
I like the reggae and spanish language rap/urban fusion. I think it has a great beat and even though I don't understand about 70% of they're singing, it still flows well.
I know this forum is mostly dominated by rock and classic rock music fans, but I was just wondering if there are any other reggaeton fans? Any favorite songs? Please don't link the justin bieber version of Despacito. :P
Here are some pretty cool songs, imo.

I can't stand reggaeton. It all sounds the same to me and of course I happen to live in the epicenter of that silly genre where over half the radio stations play it.
