From Wikipedia
Dominican dembow (Spanish: dembow dominicano), also known as simply dembow, is a style of music originating from the Dominican Republic which has been mostly described as a subgenre or derivative form of reggaeton which evolved from dancehall. Dominican dembow is characterized by its use of a sped-up dembow rhythm as its core percussion element (while standard reggaeton employs the same rhythm at a slower tempo). The name dembow is credited to the Shabba Ranks song "Dem Bow" which was remixed by Wisin & Yandel and many others and the Dembow beat became a staple in the reggaeton community.
