That ‘Despacito’ rhythm, often called ‘Dembow’ or ‘The Island Beat’. You can hear it in tons of recent chart hits so I wanted to take a brief look at its history and …

?EXTRA INFO: ‘Tresillo’ is also the Spanish-speaking word for a standard ‘triplet’ (which has caused some confusion in the comment section!) ‘Tresillo’ appears to be only the English-speaking name for this 3-3-2 rhythm.

i Hate this Rhythm
If you are a talented musician who is looking to collaborate on serious projects, I would highly recommend applying for the Billboard 500 Club Membership. I am in this private group, and the amount of valuable knowledge and opportunities is undeniable. This group is full of talent and people with the same mindset of wanting to make a big change in the music industry. There are people in the club from all over the world, including 44 countries. Every week, the members of the group are mentored by top producers, songwriters, and A&R executives. With unique networking opportunities, valuable demo critiques by top professionals, courses offered at reasonable prices, and much more, this group was a rare find for me, and if you think you would be a good fit for the group, you can apply here: https://musicindustrycontact.lpages.co/the-billboard-500-club-application/
I really really hate every single song with this rhythm!!!
All the modern songs sound the same
Oh my god it's in the Super Mario Bros. theme
It's sad to think that groove may have been vital and life affirming once. Now it just sounds like The Problem. When I hear it I feel like I'm hearing IQs plummet. Sounds to me like the soundtrack for baby mama drama, fake eyelashes and athleisure.
My memory might be deceiving me here, but I seem to have heard Howard Goodall claim that “I Want to be in America” From West Side Story is in the Habanero style. However, when I hear this, I seem to hear it as 3 – 3 – 3 / I want to / be in A / me ri ca / .
For an example in rock music, see the verses of 'Run' by the Foo Fighters
In the bassline of “Tico Tico no Fubà” there is a nice, but brief tresillo rhythm with a one-note chord chord pattern. Just for information.
Im shure that "Tresillo" is a triple
When you order triplets on wish
I've called this the dancehall rhythm since the 80s.
2020 now and I'm coming back to some of this channels 2018 videos.. so good !
despacito isnt really dem bow, is more reggaeton
dembow is way more upbeat XD
despacito beat fuck no
May be surprising but this rhythm is actually used in drill music
I've been getting tired of this latino-style beat for a while now. I do have to say it's really enlightening to learn new things about stuff you hate.
