"The Spotify Original is rich in both sound and narrative, with the company’s licensing coming in handy to play the genre’s foundational hits. The music — five minutes do not pass without a sample — propels the show forward."

It forces us to listen to reggaeton with complexity — as much complexity as the music and its history hold in the first place."
