Moombahton (pronounced /ˌmoombaˈtoʊn/) is a genre of electronic dance music that was created by American dj/producer Dave Nada ^[1] at a high school homecoming “skipping party” for his younger cousin in Washington, D.C., in the fall of 2009.^[2] The specific event that stimulated NADA’s development of the Moombahton genre was his slowing the Afrojack remix of the Silvio Ecomo & DJ Chuckie song “Moombah” to 108 beats per minute. Because that tempo nears that of the reggaeton, Nada created the neologism “Moombahton” by combining the title of the track “Moombah” and the “ton” ending of the word “reggaeton” and applied it to his new genre.

36 months after the inception of this genre its being billed as the next BIG break through for dance music because of its unique flow that makes combining cumbia, house, hiphop, and reggae natural. But this is just the beginning  and were already seeing spin-off genres. Check this great tune from Neki Stranac from Serbia making Moombhangra
