Moombahton is a sub-genre of electronic dance music that was created by American DJ Dave Nada at a high school homecoming for his younger cousin. The specific event that created the Moombahton genre was his slowing the Afrojack remix of the Silvio Ecomo & DJ Chuckie song "Moombah" to 108 beats per minute, a tempo near that of the reggaeton. The name of the sub-genre itself comes from the combination of "moombah" and "reggaeton."
Nada perfected his vision of the new sub-genre in the recording studio. He created a five track EP of newly-minted Moombahton tracks that was released in March 2010.
However, Nada's "Moombahton" was much more than simply "Dutch House pitched down to 108 BPMs." The original Moombahton tracks feature not only the standard moombahton 108 BPMs but also: chopped vocals, layered a cappella vocal tracks, extended and enhanced build-ups and the introduction of new drums and percussion elements.
Until now most of the moombahton tracks I've heard suck but this one is ok: Sticky K - Persian Algebra
