New York, NY — Perreo 101, the groundbreaking reggaeton-focused podcast, made its official debut at Tribeca Festival Audio 2023, marking a historic moment as the first podcast dedicated to reggaeton to be featured within the prestigious program. In partnership with Sonic Union, the live recording drew a full house, filling the theater with an electric mix of culture-shaping voices and devoted fans.
The debut episode featured internationally acclaimed artists Yotuel and Beatriz Luengo, who joined Perreo 101 for an in-depth conversation on Cubatón—exploring its roots, cultural significance, and global impact. The discussion bridged music, identity, and Afro-Caribbean influence, offering a rare and insightful dialogue at the intersection of sound and heritage.
The audience reflected the cultural weight of the moment, with attendees ranging from emerging fans to some of New York City’s most influential DJs within the Latin music scene, alongside actors, Latin Grammy Awards winners, and dedicated followers of Perreo 101. The event underscored the podcast’s role as both a cultural archive and a live platform for critical conversation within reggaeton and its diasporic narratives.
“Bringing Perreo 101 to Tribeca was about more than a live recording—it was about legitimizing reggaeton scholarship and storytelling within institutional spaces,” said the team behind the podcast. “To fill a theater with community, industry leaders, and cultural tastemakers speaks to the urgency and relevance of these conversations.”
This milestone signals a continued expansion for Perreo 101 as a leading voice in documenting and shaping the discourse around reggaeton, Afro-Latinidad, and global urbano culture.
