Genre and content




The genre i have chosen is one that is not normally mentioned in typical media. Reggaeton is a relatively new genre of dance music that has become popular in Puerto Rico over the last decade. The name is derived from the reggae music of Jamaica which influenced reggaeton's dance beat. Reggaeton was also heavily infuenced by other Puerto Rican music genres and by urban hip-hop music craze in the United States.

The variety of musical influences on the development of reggaeton led one observer (James Farber of the NY Daily News) to call it a "cultural polyglot".

In the United Kingdom there is no present magazine that encorporates this music style and so i noticed a gap in the music market and decided i wanted to target this audience. There is a popular website however which gives regular updates of reggaeton charts and upcoming performances.

Through this genre, my publication will include less celebrity gossip and more about music gigs and information about the reggaeton music industry. I will give a lot of reveiws of previous concerts on typical artists and ratings on whether they are worth viewing again.

List of content:
* Gig reveiws
* Celebrity gossip
* Interveiws with Artists
* Images of Celebrities
* Information on upcoming concerts
* Artist ratings on most popular
