Reggaeton

Herausgeber: Rivera, Raquel Z

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A collection on reggaeton, a popular contemporary music genre that mixes Latin American and Caribbean music styles with hiphop, rap, and R&B.

---

"The kinetic contributions in "Reggaeton" melt false borders--ones wrapped like straitjackets around peoples, knowledges, and cultures--and move the crowd. More than an exciting, exhaustive treatment of this vital musical culture, this anthology is a fine blueprint for engaged cultural scholarship right now."--Jeff Chang, author of "Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation"
