editreggae en espanol and reggaeton are two different genres, Reggae en Espanol is a subgenre of Reggae just like latin hip hop is a subgenre of hip hop, and neither two of those are synonymous with reggaeton, Reggaeton is a music genre derived from reggae en espanol, however it has adopted so many different elements from genres such as techno, merengue and house music, which makes reggaeton independent from spanish reggae or dancehall. please study the sources for more information El Perso - The Original (talk) 21:51, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Style and Timeline
editHey Muffinchild, thanks for the good start. I made some corrections to the style of the english of the first generation section. However, we need a clear timeline of things like dates of the first appearances of each singer (maybe the dates when the hits where out in the radio?). A better timeline would give a better idea of how things actually happened. Also, the second generation part isquite unorganized and it is very confusing. I think a good start is to create and article in es.wikipedia.com and I can translate it to english. --WikiDrive (talk) 03:29, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Can I make a suggestion? Since the article is written in English, the title should be written in English as well: Reggae in Spanish, rather than Reggae en Espanol. Yes, the reader will know what is meant either way, and yes, a translation has been provided. But this is an example of creeping Spanglish. Spanish is a great language. So is English. Let's not dilute either one. Reggae in Spanish for the English article, Reggae en Espanol for the Spanish one. What's more, reggae had its birth in an Anglosphere country, Jamaica, so let's not distort the cultural roots of this music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.83.155 (talk) 00:53, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Notions of linguistic purity or the appropriateness of translation cannot supercede WP:COMMONNAME. How is this genre most often referred to by English speakers? “reggae en español,” “Spanish reggae,” “Spanish-language reggae,” “reggae in Spanish?” etc. And if, indeed, it is not differentiated musically from reggae sung in other languages, perhaps it’s not a genre and should simply be described in English. —Wiki Wikardo 22:34, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
