Atlanta-based artist Marcel Mendoza releases PERREO404, a dynamic three-track EP that boldly announces his presence in the reggaeton scene. The project fuses vibrant Latin rhythms with the distinct cultural energy of Atlanta, showcasing Mendoza’s unique heritage and sound.
PERREO404 is more than just a collection of songs-it’s a celebration of perreo’s infectious spirit combined with Mendoza’s hometown pride, represented by Atlanta’s iconic 404 area code. The EP delivers a seamless blend of Latin beats and American urban influences, creating music that moves both the body and the soul.
“PERREO404 is a reflection of who I am-blending the sounds that shaped me with the city I call home. It’s about celebrating my Latin roots while embracing the energy of Atlanta. Each track tells a story of real emotions and connections, and I hope listeners feel that passion and authenticity when they hear it.” — Marcel Mendoza
While Atlanta is celebrated for its dominance in trap, R&B, and hip-hop, PERREO404 stakes a claim for perreo as an essential element of the city’s musical landscape. For Mendoza, reggaeton is not just an influence-it is a core part of his identity, shaped by his rich Cajun, Costa Rican, Cuban, and Puerto Rican heritage. This EP expands the genre’s boundaries while honoring its roots.
Marcel has already made significant waves with smash singles such as “Mood,” “Noite Toda,” “¿Qué Vamos Hacer?,” and “Apretadita,” songs that have helped cement his reputation for infectious hooks and authentic storytelling.
The three tracks on PERREO404 take listeners on a nuanced emotional journey-from the excitement of new connection, through temptation and passion, to the meaningful depth of lasting relationships.
