EDITOR’S NOTE: WELCOME TO ALERTA PENDIENTE

Alerta Pendiente is a weekly dispatch from the frontlines of Latin music and Caribbean culture by artist, producer, and historian La Gata. Written through the lens of a former journalist turned singer-songwriter, each entry blends critique, cultural analysis, and discovery — spotlighting the records, movements, and stories shaping reggaetón, dembow, dancehall, and the global underground in real time.
