Abstract
Within the spirit of Walter Benjamin's thought, who saw great symptoms of industrial modernity in small things, this text approaches reggaeton with the aim of understanding some characteristic contradictions of the present. An aesthetic of saturation, a poetics of appropriation and the alteration of the voice using Auto-Tune, are definitive features to understand the reasons why this musical genre mobilizes crowds, as much as it is the object of angry rejections in the context of today's digital societies.
