Well supported

Leonardo Renato Aulder, Afro-Panamanian artist credited as the first to record reggae in Spanish; his 1985 single 'El D.E.N.I.' (a critique of police brutality set to a Jamaican riddim) is widely regarded as the birth of reggae en Español and thus an ancestor of reggaeton (Wikipedia 'Renato Aulder'; alter/nativas Ohio State essay; Remezcla).
