Calle 13 - "El Tango del Pecado" (New Song!!)

[kinglouiexviii]

This is the 1st single from Calle 13's spankin' new album Residente o Visitante in which they collaborated with Grammy and Oscar winning producer, Gustavo Santolalla (sp?). Gustavo is partly responsible for the critical and commercial success of artists like Juanes and Cafe Tacvba.

This first single is a blend of reggeaton and tango. Of course, the beats are killer, proving that these two guys are light years ahead of the rest of the reggeaton crowd.

The lyrics, like most of their songs, are hilarious. Here's a link to a preview of the song and a cool article with all the info on the new album from univision.com. I don't think there's an official release date set yet.

This will be the follow-up to their grammy-award winning debut album, Calle 13.

Cool song!

Gustavo is just one awesome musical genius. He recently won an Oscar for his score in Babel. Yay!

Yeah he is! Oh, and he won an Oscar last year as well for composing the original score to Brokeback Mountain (insert your own gay joke here).

I cannot wait to listen to this new album, and I can't believe I would ever say that about a reggaeton artist! :o

Thanks, I did not know that. So is Shakira like their new BFF?

This single was just released to radio stations in the US. I am hearing quite a bit in the Dallas area. I hope this is a hit for this talented duo. And I can't wait to get the new album.

Residente O Visitante debuted at the top of of Billboard's Latin Album Chart in its first week, bumping J.Lo's new album. Not bad for a couple of guys who only a couple of years ago were completely unknown in the Latin music scene.

Can't wait to get this cd. The first single is really cool!
