Calle 13 - Calle 13

Calle 13's 2005 debut uses reggaeton as a starting point rather than a rulebook. Residente's lyrics are funny, crude and literate, and Visitante's production borrows from cumbia, electronica and folk. Atrévete-te-te is the hit; Querido FBI, written in anger after the FBI killing of Puerto Rican independence leader Filiberto Ojeda Ríos, shows the political edge that made the duo stand apart.
