Music reviews of Calle 13
Music Review: A brilliant debut album.
Rating: 5 Stars
I think it is safe to say debut albums are challenging, not just for the artist but for consumers as well. An artist has to find and create their own style/sound and we as consumers and music fans have to be willing to give them a chance. I personally remember being apprehensive about buying Calle 13's debut album upon its original release despite the overwhelming positive word of mouth. When I finally broke down and made the purchase, I quickly understood why so many people online could not stop talking about this album. This is an amazing and brilliant piece of music.
It is difficult to describe what makes this album and Calle 13 as a group so great. One part of Calle 13's success is lead singer/rapper Rene Perez, better known as "Residente," and his lyrical ablity. Rene's playful and mostly lighthearted use of words will often make you laugh and occasionally gasp in surprise. Very few Latin rappers have the lyrical flow that Rene has or even the courage to mix sex, politics, religion, and humor into their lyrics.
However, this album would be nothing without "Vistante" (Eduardo Cabra) and his production and music to back up Rene's lyrics. It becomes very clear as you listen to the album that Eduardo has a vast knowledge of music. Just listen to the album and you'll hear everything from the use of electric guitars, Colombian Cumbia, and other Latin music styles. This is a huge part of what distinguishes Calle 13 from other Latin Rap or Reggaeton artist, the use of actual music instead of just repetitive beats.
From beginning to end the talents of both Rene and Eduardo are clearly present. Every track has something that helps it stand out making this an album that can be left on without the need to skip anything on it. For this reason (among others) it was great to see this album acknowledged at the 2006 Latin Grammy Awards. At this event Calle 13 ended up winning Best New Artist, Best Short Form Music Video for the song "Atrevete-te-te," and Best Urban Music Album. As far as I am concerned this album should have also won Album of the Year, but that is just a personal complaint on my part as winning any awards for a debut album is a major accomplishment.
Honestly I can not say enough great things about Calle 13's debut album. If you have yet to pick this album up, do so now. If for whatever reason you still have doubts, check out or download "Hormiga Brava," "La Jirafa," and "Vamo Animal" to get a good idea of how great and different the tracks on this album are. As soon as you finish listening to these songs, go out and buy this album as it is worth every penny.
Description of Calle 13
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.The music of Puerto Rican outfit Calle 13 simmers like so much sweat on the backs of b-boys and fly girls, twisting and turning its way through the cracks and crevices of modern urban music. Calle 13's dynamic duo--half-brothers Rene Perez and Eduardo Cabra--are smart, shocking, and silly. It's a thrilling combination that makes for some hip-swiveling, head-turning sounds. Standout tracks "La Hormiga Brava," "Vamo Animal," and the rocket-fueled single "Atrévete-te-te" careen between street sounds and lush Latin rhythms, anchored by the group's mischievous sense of humor. Reggaeton is the label that's been slapped on this inspired hybrid, but Calle 13 is light years beyond that often stifling genre (which explains recent collaborations with Nelly Furtado and Alejandro Sanz). Latin rap riffs, new-wave keyboards, and a sprinkling of pop smarts chart a musical path (and crash together during "Sin Coro") that Calle 13 will likely lead--and veer from--in the near future. --Joey Guerra
