Urbano Latino: Music and Words
The Music
Urbano Latino is a broad musical genre encompassing various styles rooted in Latin cultures, primarily reggaetón, Latin trap, música tropical, and cumbia. Each of these sub-genres carries unique rhythmic elements and cultural significance.
- Reggaetón: A blend of reggae, hip-hop, and Latin music, characterized by syncopated rhythms, popularized in the 2000s by artists like Daddy Yankee.
- Latin trap: The Latin interpretation of American trap music, defined by slower, darker rhythms, championed by artists like Bad Bunny and Anuel AA.
- Música tropical: Includes salsa and merengue, evolving to incorporate electronic and hip-hop elements, often in collaboration with urban artists.
The sonic framework of Urbano Latino revolves around catchy melodies and distinctive, syncopated rhythms layered over deep bass lines. Drum machines, such as the iconic Roland TR-808, synthesizers, and samples of traditional Latin percussion infuse the genre with its unmistakable sound.
The genre’s production is guided by some of the most innovative producers who skillfully merge contemporary trap, pop, and electronic elements while preserving a distinctly Latin rhythmic foundation. Leading producers in the Urbano Latino movement include among others:
- Tainy: A reggaetón/trap producer known for collaborations with Bad Bunny, J Balvin, and Cardi B.
- Sky Rompiendo: A Colombian producer behind many J Balvin hits, influential in shaping the genre’s global appeal.
- Chris Jedi: Recognized for his work with Anuel AA and Ozuna, bringing a fusion of reggaetón and pop.

- Bizarrap: An Argentine producer famous for his “Music Sessions,” a series of freestyles and collaborations with Latin trap and rap artists, hugely popular on YouTube.
The Words
The lyrical content of Urbano Latino often explores themes such as partying, love, desire, as well as social issues like class struggle, life in urban neighborhoods, and street culture. A shift toward more emotional and romantic themes has emerged in recent years, particularly with the rise of romantic reggaetón. This sub-genre focuses on the intricacies of love, its joys, and challenges, diverging from the more provocative or festive tone of traditional reggaetón.
“Dákiti” by Bad Bunny & Jhay Cortez showcases a mix of flirtation and emotional vulnerability, capturing a softer side
“Baby, ya yo me enteré, se nota cuando me ves
Ahí donde no has llegao’ sabes que yo te llevaré”The romantic reggaetón wave, which gained prominence in the 2020s, brings the genre to a wider, more international audience, with its focus on heartfelt emotions and love stories.
“China” by Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, Karol G, Ozuna, and J Balvin also touch on this theme
“Ella es una estrella, una diva
Los novios la odian, no quieren que siga”Urbano Latino: Further Information
