The daughter of a Colombian mother and a Cuban father, Castillo is on a mission to amplify the Latin American diaspora in the U.K., primarily through her music: an elegant mélange of balmy electronic textures and Latin American heritage sounds like salsa, bachata and reggaeton.

The San Diego-based entertainer spent his 30-minute set illuminating the connections between contemporary reggaeton and electronic music.

She shared an electric collaboration with Miami hip-hop legend Trina in her 2022 single “Ride the Stick” and bounced back in January with a swaggering reggaeton single, “Perra.”

By the time she recorded “Nacarile,” the striking originality of her vision attracted a cadre of high-profile guests, from Argentine rapper Trueno and Chilean chanteuse Mon Laferte, to Mexican folk priestess Natalia Lafourcade and boricua reggaetón legend Ivy Queen.

Inside Santa Ana’s Yost Theater last Saturday night, the thick bass of gritty reggaeton beats turned the crowd into one sweaty, shimmering mass of limbs.
