Reggaeton Docuseries Premieres on Peacock October 3

The upcoming docuseries 'Reggaeton: The Sound That Conquered the World', premiering on October 3 on Peacock, chronicles the evolution of reggaeton from its Puerto Rican roots to its status as a global phenomenon. Executive produced by reggaeton icon Daddy Yankee, the four-part series features commentary from major artists like Bad Bunny, Karol G, and J Balvin, and aims to highlight the genre's cultural impact and the struggles of its pioneering artists. Directed by Omar Acosta, the series captures the hustle and ambition of musicians who transformed their marginalized backgrounds into musical success, countering claims that reggaeton would fade away. Daddy Yankee, who recently completed his farewell tour, emphasizes the importance of telling the genre's story, which has deep cultural and historical significance. The docuseries is expected to resonate particularly during Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrating the genre's rich legacy and ongoing influence in music.
