Like Gente de Zona, helmed by Randy Malcom and Alexander Delgado, artists such as Osmaní García, Jacob Forever, and El Chacal formed part of the booming Cubatón movement in the 2010s, and propelled the genre (that blends Cuban rhythms with reggaetón) beyond the Caribbean island and onto its mainstream success.
