Calle 13 - Latina Magazine Interview

Latina’s May issue includes an interview with Calle 13’s René Pérez Joglar (Residente), and José Cabra Martínes (Visitante)…

In case you didn’t know – their stage names reference how Eduardo often visited René at the latter’s house after Visitante’s dad married Residente’s mom.


Visitante: “I don’t think we could have done this one (album) first – it would have been una loquera extrema …We walk a fine line of presenting music that is a hybrid and lyrics that are simple but have a complicated message.�

Residente: “Our goal is to reach a wide audience, whether college-educated or from the streets, and really make people think and question everything – without sacrificing our integrity.�

Visitante: “If people want to call us saviors (of reggaeton) that’s fine with us. But we’ve always said we’re not really reggaeton – we mix a lot of different things together. And as far as pressure (from this title)…we feel like we proved ourselves in the first album.�

Residente: “All modesty aside, you’ll see that by the time we’re finished, people will say that Calle 13 made a huge change in a genre at time when it was stuck en la misma porquería. No one can take that away from us.�

The hot studs of Calle 13 discussed more than their upcoming album – Residente and Visitante get personal…

Residente: I actually had sex really late: I was 18 or 19. I got kissed and head sex, both for the first time, at the same time. Before then, I’d never even had a girlfriend. I couldn’t tell when a girl was interested in me!�

Latina asked Calle 13 “What was your first collaboration together?�

Visitante: “We used to play all kinds of practical jokes on my dad. We’d spend whole afternoons setting up traps for him before he came home from work.�

Residente: “Like putting butter on doorknobs and setting up buckets of water…so they’d tip over and make a puddle when he finally got the door open.�

For the interview in its entirety pick up the May issue of Latina on newsstands NOW!
