Abstract
Description
En el artículo se pretende reflexionar sobre la música reggaetón como un fenómeno sociocultural a partir de los gustos y percepciones de las personas oyentes dentro de su vida cotidiana, para lo cual se toma en consideración categorías teóricas como la socialización, la música como hecho sociocultural y de consumo. Para lograr el objetivo, se desarrolló una revisión teórica para abordar con referencias actuales el reggaetón, seguidamente de un proceso metodológico basado en el sondeo abierto con personas de diferentes edades, para brindar algunos indicios que evidencian cómo el reggaetón, a pesar de ser un género de alto consumo cultural, ha sido también en parte por ser un producto estrella dentro de la sociedad de la información y de la industria cultural de masas. Y es que la música, al ser una expresión sociocultural e histórica, que representa colectividades y subjetividades, es también una representación de lo que es ser latinoamericano.
The purpose of this article is to reflect on reggaeton music as a sociocultural phenomenon based on the preferences and perceptions of listeners in their daily lives, taking into consideration theoretical categories such as socialization, music as a sociocultural fact and consumption. To achieve the objective, a theoretical review was developed to approach reggaeton with current references, followed by a methodological process based on an open survey with people of different ages, to provide some indications that show how reggaeton, despite being a genre of high cultural consumption, has also been partly because it is a star product within the information society and the mass cultural industry. And the fa cis that music, being a socio-cultural and historical expression that represents collectivities and subjectivities, is also a representation of what it is to be Latin American.
