Timbaton: Timba meets Reggaeton. The closest “Pure” Timba style to Timbaton is Charanga Habanera’s (especially the newer material). Whilst a lot of the essence of Timba is retained, its has more of urban music focus. Arrangements are generally a bit less complex. Synthesizer sounds tend to be more prominent and electronic drum sounds are used along with the usual drums & percussion set up. The electronic kick is played Dembow style on the on beats (at least during certain sections) and vocal processing (Autotune) is often used during the Coros. Having said that, despite featuring a more commercial flavour, Timbaton still carries the rhythmic complexities of Timba — including the bloques, the intricate piano tumbaos, and the contrapuntal horn arrangements.
