When it comes to reggaeton--an unusual hybrid of dancehall reggae, Latin music, and American hip-hop--curious listeners may find it difficult to locate a good introductory album. Luckily, CHOSEN FEW: EL DOCUMENTAL fits the bill nicely, rounding up 25 choice tracks that span the style. "Reggaeton Latino" by the music's prime mover, Don Omar, combines a dub-style beat with early Snoop Dogg-esque synths and hardcore rapping. Baby Rasta's "Sabes Lo Que Vas a Hacer" shifts from East Coast-style hip-hop to merengue and back again within a single chorus. Jowell's "Delirando Pero Vacilando" features rapid-fire toasting and strains of Mexican folk music, shedding a clear light on reggaeton's Caribbean/Latin dichotomy. CHOSEN FEW also includes a bonus DVD that walks the viewer through the history and culture of reggaeton, featuring pieces on the genre's pioneers, how reggaeton is different from Latin hip-hop, and the music's relationship to women and sex.
