5.0 out of 5 stars Mind blowing mix of Reggae and Reggaeton, July 9, 2008

By	Witty pen name (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews

I highly recommend this album, especially to anyone unfamiliar to reggaeton music. The entire album is a collection of collaborations between famous reggae and reggaeton artists. Many songs use a collection of different caribbean styles and are in both English and Spanish. I just got it and have been listening to it non-stop.
