FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 14, 2024
Miami, FL — Katelina “La Gata” Eccleston and her multimedia platform Reggaeton Con La Gata have been featured in Miami New Times for bringing the internationally recognized Perreo 101 Pari to Miami Beach, spotlighting the intersection of reggaeton scholarship, nightlife culture, and Afro-Latinx musical heritage.
The feature highlights Perreo 101 Pari as an immersive extension of Eccleston’s acclaimed podcast and lecture series Perreo 101, transforming academic and cultural research on reggaeton into a live, femme-centered dance experience rooted in Caribbean and diaspora soundscapes.
Founded by Eccleston, Reggaeton Con La Gata has evolved from an undergraduate research project into a widely recognized cultural platform dedicated to documenting reggaeton’s history, centering Afro-Latinidad, and exploring the genre’s political and social significance. The Miami Beach edition of Perreo 101 Pari continues this mission by translating scholarship into a curated dance-floor experience that prioritizes community, education, and cultural memory.
The Miami New Times feature underscores how the event draws from Eccleston’s broader work in ethnomusicology and cultural criticism, while also highlighting the party’s intentional focus on Black, femme, and queer DJs and artists shaping contemporary reggaeton and perreo spaces.
By merging live performance, historical context, and community gathering, Perreo 101 Pari has become a traveling cultural platform redefining how reggaeton is experienced beyond traditional media spaces.
As Eccleston continues to expand Reggaeton Con La Gata across academic, digital, and live environments, the Miami feature cements her role as a leading cultural voice shaping the global narrative of reggaeton.
