@DominicanMestizo Actually, Anna Maria Horsford's mother is Dominican, born in Santo Domingo. Her father is Antiguan.

@Xaymaicana Reggaeton definitely does have reggae influence from reggae and more specifically the reggaeton beat. There was some original Reggaeton in Panama that sounded very much like modern reggaeton but in a classical early stage form.

Puerto Ricans definitely did change it up a bit by adding other influences and having a little more hip hop in it.

El General is the Panamanian father of reggaeton.

Caribbean is a mixture of different groups though and races. Not just black. Just saying.

@chsn09 ok basically Reggaeton is a branch off of Jamaican music. It is Panamanian and was created by the Jamaicans who lived there. This song is the CLOSEST thing to the original style of Reggaeton. Puerto Ricans changed it a bit and made it hyper but its all the same. Her pattern is Jamaican as she used the typical Jamaican tempo in rapping, check out Shabba is Mr.Lover man you will think you are listening to the male version. But we are ALL black and all caribbean so its all one love.

@tolldoll100 Most of Dominican Republic is mixed race NOT black. They never had the one drop rule. They had the reverse one drop rule.

Most of DR's population is of Afrodescent in varying degrees. But having some Afro ancestry does not automatically make one "black". DR definitely is an Afrodiasporoc country.

And you are right about so called blacks in the USA and variation in colors and skin tones

[tolldoll100]

@bella24bebe Just like blacks in the USA. Some are dark-skinned, some are light-skinned.

[bella24bebe]

DUH!!! jus go to D.R. theres all kinds of shades over there . IM dominican and in my family theres really white looking people and really dark people and everything in between. Even if u go to puerto rico, cuba, venezuela, mexico u will definetly find people of all shades.

@lachandra1 This video surprises me because I ran into a young lady who is also Afro-Latina and she denies being black and goes on to say I'm not f'n African. I'm Latina OK and don't get mad because we Latina look better then you. that is straight ignorance.

[Elenibaby27]

Society has taught us that being black is bad...not only Dominicans think so... think it's everywhere...it's a damn shame cause we africans have contributed greatly to culture everywhere we've stepped. Society has taught us to hate ourselves unfortunately I consider everyone who denies their heritage ignorant...and am Dominican of English, Hatian, and Taino descendent. BEING BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL.
