    Yo Perreo Sola: Bad Bunny’s Reggaeton, Revolution, and the Politics of Perreo

    Bad Bunny doesn't just sing about resistance—he embodies it. This lecture examines how the reggaeton superstar uses performance as a site of political intervention, transforming stages, music videos into spaces of radical possibility. Drawing on performance studies we'll explore how Bad Bunny's performed identity challenges Latin American machismo, creates space for LGBTQ+ visibility, and uses the hyper-visibility of global stardom to normalize what reggaeton culture has long marginalized: Can a performance change culture, or does it merely reflect changes already underway?
