Daddy Yankee, Ivy Queen & More Tell the Story of Reggaetón in New Docuseries: Watch the Trailer


Daddy Yankee and more tell the story of reggaeton in new docuseries 'Reggaeton: The Sound that Conquered the World.' Watch the trailer.

The new docuseries Reggaeton: The Sound that Conqueredthe World reunites some of the biggest hitmakers in the genre — including Daddy Yankee, Ivy Queen and Bad Bunny — to tell the story of how it went from underground music to a style that went on to reign supreme. Set to premiere Oct. 3 on Peacock, the four-part project — directed by Omar Acosta ( Mixtape) and executive produced by Yankee — breaks down the genre’s evolution from its earliest iterations when it soundtracked the barrios of Puerto Rico to its global takeover and commercial success thanks to hitmakers such as DJ Playero, Bad Bunny, Karol G, Vico C and J Balvin, among other key players. It’s important to tell the story of reggaetón because I don’t know that people understand that impact or sometimes they think that it just got there overnight but it’s been generational at this point.”
