Reggaeton: BPM, keys and energy

Reggaeton is built on the dembow rhythm, inherited from dancehall. Its tempo is low and very stable, but analyzers sometimes read it at double. Intro, clean and dirty versions are invaluable: a lot of tracks come out as radio versions, with the vocal from the very first second.
