My favourit music group

Calle 13

I really don't know which is my favourite group, I like music, and I love really different kinds of it, but I want to write about one that is particularly different from the others.

Calle 13 is one of my favourites music group, y love their style, their song's letters and rythms.

Calle 13 play "urban music", despites a lot of people think they are reggaeton players, but they hate it, actuyally, they have songs against it. The urban rythm is kind of like reggaeton or hip hop, but with different content.

Their career started in 2005, when they made their first album called "calle 13", then they made "Residente o Visitane" and "Los de atrás vienen conmigo". At first they were very like reggaeton, just fun music, and then, when they have a big public they developed more their critical style.

The thing I like the most about Calle 13 is actually that, the critical character of their letters, despites a lot of people can think they are not serious, but I think the singer, René had shown he is seoursly, and he is not scared of criticizing, and that's something that big artists that are inserted in the hegemonic system never do, and I think it's good, because they have a lot of reach, people that listen them, and maybe never think about the things they sing.

My favourite songs are Electromovimiento, Que lloren and Pal Norte. The first is just really fun to me, I love listening, I like the rythm and the letter, Que lloren is a strong critic to the reaggeton singers, and Pal norte talks about the immigrants, identity, colonialism, and staff.
