Reggaeton can be heard all over Top 40 radio – and its rise to the top of the charts is a fascinating story of how music transcends borders. Katelina Eccleston is founder of Reggaeton Con La Gata and producer of the Spotify podcast “Loud,” and she joins host Krys Boyd to tell the story of reggaeton’s humble origins, how it spread from Panama to Puerto Rico, Jamaica and now the U.S., and the message it sends to listeners about race and power.
