EP#46 Love And Legacy: La Mala Mentality ft. Victoria La Mala

This week on Reggaeton Con La Gata, La Gata sits down with her homegirl Victoria La Mala for a powerful, full-circle conversation about culture, conviction, and carving your own lane.

Victoria opens up about the reality of being a woman in music, how motherhood transformed her sense of peace and purpose, and why she refuses to compromise artistry for virality. She speaks candidly about being told her career might be “over” after marriage and a baby, and why she believes only you and God can stop you.

They also get into legacy, independence, the evolution of Mexican music on a global stage, and what it truly means to stand on quality over quantity.

This episode is about staying rooted, friendship, staying passionate, and trusting that if you keep going, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

EP#42 MELTING THE ICE iN 2026

Episode 42 was supposed to be about 42 — Sech’s breakthrough album and what it meant for him/the culture as a Panamanian artist. But in true Reggaetón Con La Gata fashion, the moment demanded something else.

This is not a comfortable listen. It’s a necessary one.

This episode covers:

  • ICE, policing, and the continuity of state violence

  • The Atlantic slave trade as genocide — and why language matters

  • Why public outrage often only arrives when whiteness is harmed

  • The emotional labor Black women have carried for centuries

  • Liberal reform vs. abolitionist thought in 2026

  • What real allyship actually requires (and what it does not)

This episode also marks a boundary. After eight years of public education, La Gata reflects on burnout, self-preservation, and the need to step back from constantly narrating trauma — without abandoning truth, history, or purpose.

Raw. Unfiltered. Exhausted. Grounded.

Nino Augustine is a pioneer in AfroLatin House. His smooth, swaggy & witty lines captivate audiences in English and Spanish. As a non-isleño wanting to create music in his own sound, not only has he found it difficult to go "contra la Corriente" or against the tide–but to deal with the aftermath of being seen yet underestimated. This is his story.
