Abstract

The musical style called reggaeton, that has surpassed sales records and followers during the last years, is undoubtedly one of the most characteristic's Latin-American sexism's traces and is quite surprising that, although advances have been achieved in gender equality, its violence seems to be unnoticed. This analysis takes into account the roles of women, the body and sexuality that are transmitted in their lyrics, which are absorbed by young men and women, mainly from popular sectors where reggaeton, beyond a music style, is a way of relating between sexes wich defi nes a life attitude.
