What is Moombahton?
Moombahton is a sub-genre of electronic dance music that was created by American DJ and producer Dave Nada[2] (aka Dave Villegas) at ahigh school homecoming "skipping party" for his younger cousin in Washington, D.C., in the fall of 2009.[3] The specific event that stimulated Nada's development of the Moombahton genre was his slowing the Afrojack remix of the Silvio Ecomo & DJ Chuckie song "Moombah" to 108 beats per minute, a tempo near that of the reggaeton. The name of the sub-genre itself comes from the portmanteau of "moombah" and "reggaeton."
Between fall 2009 and spring 2010, Nada perfected his vision of the new sub-genre in the recording studio utilizing intuitions and insights garnered from the "skipping party" experience to create a five track EP of newly-minted Moombahton tracks that was released in March 2010 with the promotional assistance and support of DJ Ayres and DJ Tittsworth at T & A Records
However, Nada's "Moombahton" was much more than simply "Dutch House pitched down to 108 BPMs." The original Moombahton tracks feature not only the standard moombahton 108 BPMs but also: chopped vocals, layered a cappella vocal tracks, extended and enhanced build-ups and the introduction of new drums and percussion elements. These are some signature characteristics of the sub-genre.
