Origin

When he arrived, he noticed, however, that the people instead of dancing out there to Bachata and Reggaeton to House and other genres of electronic dance music. He had planned music in these styles. So he tried to pick out something in between and opted for Afro Jack remix of Silvio & Chuckie Moombah ECOMOS, in which he lowered the beats -per- minute number from 128 to 108. So, from the title of this track and the concept of style Reggaeton the portmanteau Moombahton. Between autumn 2009 and spring 2010, Nada eventually took on an Extended Play. The promotion helped him Tittsworth and DJ Ayres.
