Known for its sultry and controversial lyrics, the polarizing music of the Reggaeton genre is taking the world by storm and Katelina ‘Gata’ Eccleston an Internationally renowned Music Critic/Historian from Boston, MA is at the eye of some of its biggest critiques. Katelina ‘Gata’ the self-made Entrepreneur, and Bilingual Panamanian-Jamaican Podcast Host has no intention of slowing down. Named one of Huffington Post’s 2022 Culture Shifters of the year, Katelina’s work is notorious for highlighting the Femme, Intersectional Analysis, Musicology and History of Reggaeton through her critically acclaimed platform, Reggaeton Con La Gata the first of its kind to exist, and so is her podcast Perreo 101
From podcasts generating billions of streams like Spotify Studios & Futuro Studios: LOUD The History of Reggaeton, Katelina’s niche storytelling capacity is at the heart of the biggest productions, and Perreo 101 is “the blueprint that set it all into motion.” The First Bilingual podcast in Spanish & English ever, as well as the first to storytell Reggaeton in this niche way, is the trendsetting escape from the daunting white-washed, saturated narrative that often periodically plagues Reggaeton.This major Twitter voice takes her rising popularity from the web to Ivy Leagues like Harvard, Dartmouth College, and Princeton Spring ‘23–across varied industries–and is named one of the Top 6 Latine Podcasts shifting culture in 2022 by Refinery & Apple Podcasts.
From college research in Australia’s Griffith University to presentations at GAP, Old Navy, and educational textbook companies like Chegg the Perreo 101 podcast is the crucial component of Reggaeton Con La Gata that made Katelina a Music Historian, Critic, Executive producer that she is. The research and analysis conducted on the podcast’s behalf allows Gata to enter these various spaces and transform them one lecture and nuanced opinion at a time. The #Perreo101tour features lectures, workshops, and consultations. On November 9th, 2022 she was invited back to Latinx Studies Class at Cambridge’s Prized Harvard University by Professor Américo to lead a discussion-styled class on Afro-Latinidad and Reggaeton; as expected, it was a hit themes widely discussed in the podcast.
