Acosta worked closely with Daddy Yankee over the past five years to bring the docuseries to life. “We would sit together when I was cutting and editing, and I would see him thinking of the process almost like making a song,” Acosta explains. “He’d tell me, ‘the rhythm in this part here should be more like this.’ It was a great collaboration.”

Daddy Yankee and Peacock have announced the release of a new docuseries dubbed “Reggaeton: The Sound that Conquered the World.” Out Oct. 3 on Peacock, the series will dissect the genre’s origins with commentary from some of its biggest stars, and with Yankee as an executive producer.
