As one of the most innovative and sought after groups in the Latin music industry, Calle 13 return with their third album Los De Atr s Vienen Conmigo. This album is a bit more colorful than the previous, although dark humor continues to be the tone. The album has a fusion of rhythms the band discovered during their visits to several countries. They fuse rhythms of 'cumbia villera' native to Argentina, and rhythms of 'volcanic' music, native to Russia. This album includes important collaborations with Ruben Blades and Caf, Tacvba to name a few. The concept behind Calle 13 has been uniform throughout all their albums, irreverent lyrics, experimental musical fusions, and rhythms that move the masses.

The growth in their songwriting since their earliest disc is astounding, given that that first disc wasn't released too long ago. It's important to note that Calle 13's music is not necessarily for dancing (Residente even states this in... more info
ufff:
Si al principio no me pareció tan bueno como el segundo, e incluso lo vi como una imitación de anteriores trabajos sobre todo en la letra, ya le he cogido un gusto que no lo suelto. Nada de aquellas malas palabras y cochinadas de "Residente o Visitante". Este es distinto.
"La perla" es el tema social que no puede faltar.
"Fiesta de locos" a más de uno le sacará mucho más que una sonrisa.
"John, El esquizofrénico" y "Electro movimiento" son los... more info
