More Recent Praise For “Entren los Que Quieran”
“Calle 13 is one of the most exciting and creative groups to hit the Latin Alternative scene
in the last decade…Calle 13 is exactly what mainstream Latin music needs right now:
an injection of rebellion, thought and real sexuality.” – NPR’s “Alt.Latino”
“Calle 13 is much more than a band of musicians: They are poets, comedians, journalists, satirists and political activists…They are fighters, who endure and struggle against the very real horrors of Latin America… But part of their defiance lies in the ability to be funny and sexy in spite of these horrors… [Calle 13] tells it like it is.”
– NPR “First Listen”
“The most iconoclastic character in hip-hop — if not all of pop — might well be René Pérez, the rapper called Residente in the Puerto Rican duo Calle 13… ‘Entren Los Que Quieran’ overflows with messages about rich and poor, struggle and rebellion… The music, as on each of Calle 13’s previous albums, keeps expanding.”
- THE NEW YORK TIMES
“Calle 13’s music [is] revolutionary… bomb any radio station that won’t play it” – ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
“An ambitious album [that shows] why the Puerto Rican brothers have won 10 LATIN GRAMMYS” – PEOPLE
“Kanye West, Nikki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Pink, Kid Cudi, Kid Rock, N.E.R.D…but the one new album at the top of our playlist request list is Calle 13’s “Entren Los Que Quieran” – MTV Tr3s
“a frank truth-telling agent provocateur… an invitation for rebellion…
world-music adventurousness [and] relentless rabble-rousing.” – NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
“[Calle 13 has] consistently given voice to an underlying ethic of resistance, one that’s never been quite as vociferous as it is on their fourth and latest album, ‘Entren Los Que Quieran.’… [with] defiance, exuberance – and revolutionary fervor … [Calle 13’s] music is as globally conscious as the band’s message.”
-WASHINGTON POST
“absolutely spectacular.. Entren los Que Quieran excitingly mixes cumbia, merengue, funk, reggae, rock, and hip-hop… Residente‘s absolutely overpowering raps are what make Calle 13 so special… He is in fine form on Entren los Que Quieran … another strong addition to a proud discography… Make no mistake, Calle 13 are still miles above their peers and countless imitators” – ALL MUSIC
“Residente has many opinions, and his lyrics have always been reflective of them. In this album, the MC spews truths. Sure he carefully hammers us with his common blows to dirty politicians and talentless musicians, but he also shows he’s growing into a guy trying to translate what he observes into his art, as if feeling responsible for the problems that plague the world. While Latin America is bursting with good music and musicians, our mainstream stars are lacking subject matter, but Residente doesn’t let them slip by, making use of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Honestly, I suggest, you go for an open-minded trip with Calle 13. Lyrically, Entren Los Que Quieran is an invitation for those willing to listen and entertain different ideas, and musically, it’s a melange of rhythms that best illustrate the growth the band has experienced.” – TERRA
“At the top of their genre, they see everything behind the proverbial curtain, and because of their irreproachable talent, they speak truth to power unapologetically and fearlessly. Their satyrical lyricism and willingness to experiment with global beats and sounds have truly set them apart from their contemporaries, netting them 10 Latin Grammys, and more important, the adulation of millions of fans from San Juan and beyond. For all these reasons, Calle 13′s new album, Entren Los Que Quieran, is one of the most highly anticipated releases of the year.”- Napster Blog
[Residente is] smarter than all the other purist hip-hop MC’s that I admired and defended to death as the best lyricists… This guy can actually rhyme, he has perfect flow and better punch-lines than all those purists put together… I’m able to give full credit to Calle 13 for being the most significant thing to happen to Spanish-speaking rap–I mean Spanish language music, in the past decade. They proved that good rap can be amusing, accessible and dancy at the same time of being full of wisdom and cleverly written lines. How long do we have to wait until they replace the current status-quo of urban radio?” – latinbutcool.blogspot.com
