Reggaeton, a variation of Dancehall Reggae spoken in the Spanish language,
played alongside its own distinctive beat, is especially played in the local nightclubs of Port Vila with, mostly, an audience of Westerners and tourists.
Fonsi originally composed"Despacito" as a cumbia and pop song with lyrics written as a ballad,
but began to consider giving it an"urban injection" and contacted Reggaeton artist Daddy Yankee through WhatsApp,
who agreed to collaborate on the song after Fonsi played him the demo.
