Latinoamérica is sung by Calle 13, this group proposed to travel to different parts of Latin America, such as Colombia and, of course, Puerto Rico, although they had donethis before for tourist and as part of its tours, and similar projects, such as the video of the song a duet with Orishas “Pal 'Norte”. However, the production of the project was held in Peru, where thecompany Patria Producciones was in charge of the videoclip, owned by Jorge Carmona and Milovan Radovic; filming on location in that country as Chincha, Cusco, Iquitos, Piura, Puno and Lima. Note thatone of the singers participating in the song, the Peruvian Susana Baca Grammy winner has received the cooperation of Calle 13 for the CD, released in Europe months ago.
Calle 13 is a band of urbanmusic of Puerto Rico, led by René Pérez Joglar, (Residente), and his brother Eduardo Cabra Martínez (Visitante). René is a writer and vocalist, and Eduardo is a composer, musical director andmulti-instrumentalist From Trujillo Alto of San Juan they lived as a colony of the United Estates. They lived every injustice imaginable.
Latinoamérica was inspired by the late Argentinian singer MercedesSosa, Calle 13 tried to connect his native Puerto Rico to the rest of Latin America.
"This song was made ​​as a gift for me, and if you accept it, is a gift for you too (...) I knew nothing of LatinAmerica, until I dove in her womb, the only reference I had, makes few years, the official story was that the United States gives to Puerto Rico as a colony "
Calle 13 is an independent band. The prideof been Latin American inspire the band to create this song after visiting several countries. We always forget our fortune of Latinoamérica and some people will prefer the United States or Europe tolive but this song make us think about what do we have and show us how stupid is that we want to be a colony again with no army this time but with a war of culture of economics and we cannot see it....
