    This honestly shows how the latino culture is one and stick together instead of arguing which one is better, which neither one is because we all share the same foods, music, and dancing. So we really wouldn't make a difference of whos better or not.

    Often mistaken for reggae or reggae en español, reggaeton is a younger genre which originated in the clubs of San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1991. It became known as "underground" music, due to its circulation through informal networks and performances at unofficial venues. Puerto Ricans DJ Playero and DJ Nelson were inspired by hip hop and Latin American music to produce "riddims," the first reggaeton tracks.

Why Puerto Ricans and not Panama became the kings of Regetton for last 20 plus years?? Even Jamaicans do it Puerto Rican style lately. And they call it as Puerto Ricans say it to..

Que bueno que los hermanos puertorriqueños también han acogido el merengue y lo han convertido en una parte importante de su patrimonio musical, así como los dominicanos hemos adoptado y enriquecido la salsa puertorriqueña y el son cubano para afianzar la hermandad cultural de los pueblos caribeños...

    Here's a bit of historical information to Yarey Melendez. THE MERENGUE WAS BORN IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. The Dominicans own it by the grace of God and it was the Dominicans whom gave it it's flavor, shape, and form. The merengue is the soul and heart feeling of a people. The Dominican people. As much as plena is the soul of Puerto Rico. It was a Dominican musician from the 1840's called JUAN BAUTISTA ALFONSECA BARI whom wrote the first merengue ever into the musical staff. According to historical data, the ' son ' from Cuba originated in the Dominican Republic but it was taken to Cuba by two sisters and guess what ?? It was the Cubans whom gave it shape and form, so they surely owned it. But then in the late 60's and early 70's a Dominican band leader called Johnny Pacheco created a new form of the Cuban music and named it salsa. But furthermore, he created a musical institution called FANIA ALL STARS where the most well known Puerto Ricans salseros and some Dominicans too were born. Johnny Pacheco was the man behind the idea, and businessman Jerry Masucci was the financist behind it. So my dear Yarey, it just goes to show how we all (Puerto Ricans, Cubans and Dominicans) have so much in common, not to mention such a rich cultural background. But just for the record, the first city founded in the new world in 1496 was SANTO DOMINGO. The first university was also established in SANTO DOMINGO. By the way, the university it's still kicking and many of the students come from PUERTO RICO. The first cathedral was founded in SANTO DOMINGO. During colonial times the center of operations of everything that took place in the three islands was none other than SANTO DOMINGO DE GUZMAN. Yes, the capital of the Dominican Republic. So yes, there is plenty of Dominican culture to go around. But I think that applies to all three islands. We have to stop thinking of ourselves as being better than the other and instead cherish our culture and love and respect each other.

      Actually, that's not fully true. 'Historical' data does not point to any Dominican influence on Son. In fact, i have read on a site (with no legitimate basis) that very same story, and yet nothing i have ever researched, that actually holds credibility, has ever confirmed that story about the sisters from DR. I am talking about major studies done on Cuban culture and history, by world renowned ethnologists and musicologists. By the time Dominicans actually migrated to Cuba (which came way later in history, probably after Cubans were travelling to DR), Son was already established. Son came from Changui and Nengon, both products of Oriente province. Neither had any instrumentation or arrangements from DR. Merengue is said to have originated from the Habanera dance in Cuba, which many ethnomusicologists believe to be true, but to be honest, i give that the same credibility i give that story about the sisters from DR. Which is virtually none. Merengue has more in common with Dominican Palos than anything in Cuba, same way Son has more in common with Changui and Bolero in Cuba than anything in DR. Don't take this as me trying to say one is better than the other, but i have heard the whole "Sisters from DR in Cuba thing" and i can't find a single relevant document that confirms it in the slightest. Cuba's rhythms and culture go back a very long time, as does DR, Haiti, PR and many other places. But you are correct about something. Cultural swaps occurred over the course of history. Cubans love Merengue and Bachata as well and have used some of it in modern music. Same goes with Reggaeton. They call it Cubaton in Cuba. There is certainly alot of swapping back and forth in the Caribbean.

      Johnny Pacheco from Dominican Republic was the main creator of salsa in the Bronx and formed the Fania.
      Another thing lots of people don’t know that “son music” is originated in Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 by “Teodora Ginés” and she and her sister Micaela took it to Cuba 🇨🇺. Lots of Cuba don’t agree with that but musicologist from Cuba confirmed that it was Teodora Ginés from Dominican who first played and sang the first “son” in Cuba music history. Check this musicologists from Cuba, alejo carpenter and Lauren maton I believe and there is others but don’t remember well.
      Even “bolero music has to do with Dominican Republic.
      Check this link.
      peoplepill.com/people/teodora-gines/
      czcams.com/video/oSS-eC5TGPM/video.html&feature=share
      All this goes back as Dominican Republic, was the first place where Spaniards settled in America on 1942 and built the first cathedral, first university, first road and much more here. In other words, that’s were everything started in the new world, but they don’t teach that in United States 🇺🇸 and in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 I guess.
      Also, On 1500 slaves were introduced for the first time in the Dominican Republic or new world, which the Spaniards called first “la hispañola”. Original name of the island by the the native taínos is “kiskeya”, that’s why they call Dominican, Quizqueyano.
      Well, later on after lots of conflicts and wars lots Dominican migrated to others neighbors island, like Cuba and even Puerto Rico. For instance, Teodora Ginés and sister Micaela migrated to Cuba.
      Dominican Republic has to do a lot with their neighbors music history and influence. Therefore Dominican has always played “son” and it is on its history, Dominican son.
      Dominican music is not only Dominican anymore but belongs to the whole Latin and world Because everybody has been enjoying our music for decades. 🇩🇴🤣🙏🏼

      Merengue típico or ripiao

      Merengue is a type of music and dance originating in the Dominican Republic, which has become a very popular genre throughout Latin America, and also in several major cities in the United States which have Hispanic communities. In the title no where does it say anything about any merengue music or dance being from Puerto Rico however, it does say Merengue is a part of our music culture on our island of Puerto Ricao. We listen to it and have many puerto rican groups and artist that sing and perform merengue. The only thing the title says is, Puerto Rican and Dominicans dancing merengue. Thats it.

      Soviet Person Johnny Pacheco from Dominican Republic was the main creator of salsa in the Bronx and formed the Fania.
      Another thing lots of people don’t know that “son music” is originated in Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 by “Teodora Ginés” and she and her sister Micaela took it to Cuba 🇨🇺. Lots of Cuba don’t agree with that but musicologist from Cuba confirmed that it was Teodora Ginés from Dominican who first played and sang the first “son” in Cuba music history. Check this musicologists from Cuba, alejo carpenter and Lauren maton I believe and there is others but don’t remember well.
      Even “bolero music has to do with Dominican Republic.
      Check this link.
      peoplepill.com/people/teodora-gines/
      All this goes back as Dominican Republic, was the first place where Spaniards settled in America on 1942 and built the first cathedral, first university, first road and much more here. In other words, that’s were everything started in the new world, but they don’t teach that in United States 🇺🇸 and in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 I guess.
      Also, On 1500 slaves were introduced for the first time in the Dominican Republic or new world, which the Spaniards called first “la hispañola”. Original name of the island by the the native taínos is “kiskeya”, that’s why they call Dominican, Quizqueyano.
      Well, later on after lots of conflicts and wars lots Dominican migrated to others neighbors island, like Cuba and even Puerto Rico. For instance, Teodora Ginés and sister Micaela migrated to Cuba.
      Dominican Republic has to do a lot with their neighbors music history and influence. Therefore Dominican has always played “son” and it is on its history, Dominican son.
      Dominican music is not only Dominican anymore but belongs to the whole Latin and world Because everybody has been enjoying our music for decades. 🇩🇴🤣🙏🏼
