A style of pseudo-music based on rhythms from Jamaican reggae and reggaeton, which is often mistakenly called a musical genre in the Dominican Republic. The name comes from the early 90s Shabba Ranks track Dem Bow. It lacks complex instrumentation, instead using a looped 20-year-old sample with very little variation. It is essentially the Dominican version of what Puerto Rican reggaeton was decades ago: a prefabricated beat with rapping over it, requiring no formal musical scale or vocal ability. The lyrics generally lack literary quality or logic due to the performers' lack of education, often consisting of a few verses and a single phrase repeated over and over.
dembow is the retarded little brother of reggaeton.
