Auto-ethnographic perspective reveals cultural significance of reggaetón parties among Latin migrants in Germany, highlighting community celebration.
This auto-ethnographic _Perspective reflects on reggaetón music, its festive experience, and the cultural changes it has undergone in the Latin migrant context. Two years ago, a collective of Latin American DJs founded La Casa del Perreo in Germany. Since then, they have hosted reggaetón parties in various European cities. The _Perspective traces the cultural meanings behind this music scene in the context of migration. These festive events become a space of socialization and celebration of Latin American culture. At the disco, reggaetón music and culture are showcased not only as a mainstream product, but also as a landscape within which the Latin American experience is performed and celebrated. Through my personal experience of attending various reggaetón parties in Germany, I explore the cultural significance of the reggaetón scene.
