En La Caliente: Tales of a Reggaeton Warrior

Today, reggaeton is the most popular genre of music among Latinos in Latin America and the United States.

Sixty years after Mambo and Cha Cha Cha, and forty years after Salsa, reggaeton reigns as a worldwide symbol of Latino pop culture and as one of the strongest urban cultural trends.

In Cuba, a historical hub of Latin music, the reggaeton movement is extremely powerful. However, it’s almost impossible to find reggaeton in record stores or to hear it on the radio or television.

En La Caliente tells the story of how reguetón has become the megaphone of an emerging Cuba against the official discourse.
