Tango Meets Reggaeton

Calle 13


Everyone's favorite Reggaeton group, Calle 13, released their second album on Tuesday. "Residente O Visitante" packs as much of a punch as their first release with many collaberations with other artists. Working with Calle 13 on this release are, Tego Calderon from Puerto Rico, La Mala Rodriguez from Spain and Orishas from Cuba. By far the most interesting pairing is Calle 13 with Bajofondo, the electro-tango group from Argentina. If you can imagine Kanye West, Luny Tunes and The Gotan Project getting together to make a song, then you get an idea what the song Tango Del Pecado is like. Check it out for yourself:


I know the infamous Viola Galloway, Amoeba Hollywood's world music buyer and Tango enthusiast, is just going to love the new Calle 13. She has been rallying for Reggaeton to fuse with Tango for the last three years!
