Dembow is a music genre that originated in the Caribbean, particularly in Jamaica, during the late 1980s. It is characterized by its distinctive rhythm, which features a syncopated drum pattern that creates a danceable beat. The genre has influenced various styles, including reggaeton, and is often associated with urban culture and nightlife. Over the years, Dembow has evolved and gained popularity across Latin America and beyond. Artists and producers have incorporated elements from other genres, such as hip-hop and dancehall, leading to a fusion of sounds. This adaptability has helped Dembow maintain its relevance in contemporary music.
