Assignment: Reggaeton - the pride of Puerto Rico?
Reggaeton\u2019s the soundtrack to Puerto Rico. The globally popular music reflects what\u2019s going on in the cultural and political scene of the Spanish-speaking Caribbean Island.
It started out as underground music in marginalised communities but was criticised for allegedly promoting violence and being too sexually explicit.
Reggaeton has since been used as an anthem to overthrow a local governor and a way to criticise the island\u2019s complex relationship with the United States.
It\u2019s also evolved from misogynist roots to reach new audiences in the LGBTQ community.
Jane Chambers travels to Puerto Rico to meet the people and hear the music which is both maligned and revered.
