Why reggaeton stars are ditching their music for God

Epicenter NYC

In December, reggaeton legend Daddy Yankee announced his plan to dedicate himself to Christianity. He dropped the bombshell on a farewell tour while a drone depicted a giant cross and the message “Christ is coming.” Daddy Yankee’s move follows other icons like Farruko, Julio Voltio, El General. But that’s not the only thing they have in common. So why do reggaeton artists who’ve announced their devotion to religion happen to be middle-aged men?

In this episode you’ll hear from historians, theologians and experts of the Puerto Rican experience as we answer this question.
