Migration of Music

All musicians are always trying to make the most authentic and/or original music possible. Although it constantly appears as though music from one place is being linked back to another music that's foreign to the area. It goes along the lines of Conservation of Energy, music never really changes it's just reconfigured and recompiled to create a new form. A great example of migrating music is dance hall and reggae from Jamaica and how it changed into reggaeton for Puerto Rico. “…Reggaeton calls attention to the centrality of black culture and the migration of peoples and ideas in and out of Puerto Rico…” The immigration was from both Jamaica and Africa. The music moved from one place to another and the new region and culture took in dance hall and reggae and turned it into reggaeton.Further Information
