Born in Chile and arriving in the city at the age of three, he has since built the universe of Club GELATINA: a space created by and for queer Latinxs and their friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rodrigo\u2019s parents fled Pinochet\u2019s dictatorship and found safety in Belgium, a country that, at the time, offered a future to those escaping political violence. He arrived in Brussels at the early age of three and a half years, carrying two cassette tapes in his bag: one by Luis Miguel and ABBA\u2019s greatest hits in Spanish. Without realising it yet, music was already his companion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"670\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Capture-decran-2026-02-14-194136.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Capture-decran-2026-02-14-194136.jpg 670w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Capture-decran-2026-02-14-194136-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Capture-decran-2026-02-14-194136-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Capture-decran-2026-02-14-194136-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Capture-decran-2026-02-14-194136-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Growing up between cultures was not always easy. \u201cLike many children of immigrants, it took me a while to find balance between my two cultures.\u201d Music became a bridge. At first, it was the music his parents played at home; later, it turned into a personal search for references that felt closer to his own experience. Unexpectedly, it was Shakira who helped him reconnect with Latin music. \u201cBack then, she was a bit like the Alanis Morissette of Latin America, with thoughtful lyrics and a more rock-oriented sound,\u201d he explains, \u201c&#8230;especially drawn to her MTV Unplugged era\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also found himself drawn to Chilean hip-hop, particularly Makiza. One of the group\u2019s MCs, Anita Tijoux, was also the child of exiles. \u201cTheir lyrics resonated deeply with me,\u201d he says. The song Rosas de los vientos became a turning point \u2014 a way to make peace with a dual identity shaped by distance, history, and inheritance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, celebrations were central in his family life. For his parents, gatherings were a way to stay connected to the Chilean and Latin American diaspora in Brussels. They were part of a pastoral group, but for Rodrigo, it felt less about religion than about community. \u201cThat\u2019s actually where I DJed for the very first time,\u201d he recalls. \u201cI would play music for the pastoral group and make people dance.\u201d The dance floor was already becoming a space of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"669\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Capture-decran-2026-02-14-194047.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Capture-decran-2026-02-14-194047.jpg 669w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Capture-decran-2026-02-14-194047-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Capture-decran-2026-02-14-194047-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Capture-decran-2026-02-14-194047-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/ket.brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Capture-decran-2026-02-14-194047-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 669px) 100vw, 669px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Years later, that instinct took form through GELATINA and VICIOSA, two Latinx collectives with distinct universes. In a few words, Gelatina is a queer party where people dance to reggaeton, neoperreo, dembow, merengue, guaracha, Latin club and more. \u201cIt\u2019s a space where everyone can feel safe, express themselves freely, and truly connect through dance.\u201d The softness of the name mirrors its intention: flexible, welcoming, alive. In Spanish, gelatina refers to the wobbly, fruit-flavoured dessert. The project was born from absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere simply wasn\u2019t a space dedicated to the queer Latinx community\u201d in Brussels, he says. In a city known for its diversity, that gap felt striking. Existing Latin nights often reproduced rigid norms and lacked the openness or playful energy of queer spaces. GELATINA emerged as a response: intentional, joyful, and grounded in lived experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Rodrigo, representation is never decorative. GELATINA is \u201cmade by and for Latinx people and their friends,\u201d with line-ups that consistently highlight artists from Latin America and its diaspora. \u201cBuilding bridges and giving greater visibility to alternative Latin American culture\u201d remains essential. As Latinx culture gains visibility across Europe, he stays critical of how it is often consumed. \u201cWhat I find most problematic is seeing so-called \u2018Latino\u2019 events run by Europeans who don\u2019t even showcase Latinx artists,\u201d he says. \u201cThey\u2019re simply riding the current wave.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the party itself, Rodrigo invites audiences to listen more deeply. \u201cMaybe the general European public still sees this music as something that just evokes sunshine and holidays.\u201d Yet behind the rhythms lie Afro roots, political struggles, and feminist voices. \u201cWhat I love about our parties is that we can showcase alternative music that carries meaning, with a clear feminist dimension, where women and queer people can feel genuinely empowered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, the reality of independent nightlife in Brussels remains fragile. Venue closures and rising costs continue to threaten alternative spaces. \u201cFor an alternative party like ours, finding a venue is already a challenge,\u201d Rodrigo admits. Financial sustainability is a constant balancing act: keeping ticket prices accessible while paying artists fairly. \u201cIt\u2019s not always easy to make a living from nightlife.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, moments of collective success offer hope, one of the highlights of 2025 was the collaboration between VICIOSA and GELATINA at Halles de Schaerbeek, which welcomed over 1,700 people. \u201cThinking back two years ago, we would\u2019ve never imagined gathering such a crowd,\u201d he says. \u201cIt felt surreal and incredibly encouraging.\u201d Inspiration also comes from other communities. Rodrigo mentions the queer and Arab collective Corne de Gazelle and their event organised at Vaux Hall: \u201cIt was beautiful to see that community take space and bring so many people together\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead to 2026, GELATINA turns 17 in February. \u201cWe\u2019re still in our teenage years\u2026 so we\u2019re allowed to be a bit wild and unpredictable, right?\u201d Another major collaboration with VICIOSA is already planned for September. Yet the most meaningful moments remain intimate. \u201cWhen people come up to me in the middle of a party to thank me,\u201d Rodrigo says, \u201cto tell me they\u2019ve found a piece of their roots on the dance floor, it moves me deeply.\u201d One night, a Colombian guy shared that he had always dreamed of a party like this in Brussels. Today, that person, Nico, is part of the collective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born from lived experience rather than trends, GELATINA carries Rodrigo Aranda\u2019s story at its core. Guided by memory, migration, and sound, he continues to shape a dance floor where personal histories become collective intersectional movement, and where belonging is not promised, but actively built, together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"675\" height=\"672\"
