Moombahton: Dave Nada

Moombahton is a genre of electronic dance music that was created by American DJ/producer Dave Nada at a high school homecoming "skip party" for his little cousin in Washington, D.C., in the fall of 2009.  The specific event that stimulated Nada's development of Moombahton was his slowing the Afrojack remix of the Silvio Ecomo & DJ Chuckie song "Moombah" to 108 beats per minute.  Because that tempo nears that of the reggaeton, Nada created the neologism "Moombahton" by combining the title of the track "Moombah" and the "ton" ending of the word "reggaeton" and applied it to his new genre.
