Romantiqueo is a sub-genre of reggaeton. It is a fusion of Pop, R&B, and zouk with reggaeton. The name Romantiqueo comes from the words "romantic" and "mixeo" (Puerto Rican slang for mix). Romantiqueo's main musical engine is based on Reggaeton, however it comes to resembles R&B very often. Romantiqueo was rarely used until late the late 90's, when then newcomers Magnate y Valentino brought it to a much wider audience. Zion y Lennox are considered to be the pioneers of Romantiqueo in the new school scene of Reggaeton. Today, more and more reggaetoneros slowly adapting to it like Zion y Lennox, Magnate y Valentino, Tito "El Bambino", De La Ghetto, Randy, Don Omar, Divino, RKM & Ken-Y, Cruzito and Baby Rasta & Gringo are among those who have made a name in the genre.
