About Reggaeton Tempo

Reggaeton typically sits between 85 and 100 BPM, anchored by the iconic dembow rhythm. Born in Puerto Rico in the 1990s through artists like Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, and Tego Calderón, the genre has become one of the most commercially successful Latin music styles. Modern reggaeton hits often sit precisely at 95 BPM — the global radio standard.
