This highly influential piece of music lead to a wave of electronic pop, known as freestyle, "Latin freestyle" or "Latin hip hop", as well as countless electro funk records in NY, LA (Egyptian Lover) and Miami (Pretty Tony).

It was designed to demonstrate the strength of the stereo systems of cars and is basically dance music. Some Latin artists also embraced this new style.
